I agree. I was coerced. And pressured. Maybe this way is all they know, all they have been trained to do. When I counsel people, I also have a certain mindset and methodology which I bring into that space. And I am also accountable for how I handle other people’s emotions. But, yes, there is a line and in my case it was definitely crossed.
Thank you Lynne! Body, mind and spirit is my belief. Neglect or hurt the one part, you hurt all. We have to be very wise in who we trust with our exposed selves. May God be glorified.
This is my view. The spirit is eternal. It is the part of us that is constantly searching for meaning. That asks the big questions. Why am I here? What is the meaning of pain? And we are not powerless. We can choose to reclaim and honor that voice. For those who feel helped by the drugs, that is their choice. Mine and yours are to take a different path. May you find answers to your why’s as well.
Yes, wisdom is important, but paired with a certain amount of bravery, knowing that I am swimming upstream with my views. But what can they do to me now? Criticize me, judge me, push me away? None of those responses can affect my life anymore. They are free to live their lives and so am I.
Thank you Joy! What a beautiful name. I have various practices in place that intentionally work at. Firstly my faith, talking it out with God. Then writing, art and exercise. When I do struggle, I do grounding work for immediate relief and my own, learn as i go version of neurofeedback. I am daily amazed at how my middle aged brain is still able to change old pathways! Thanks for the support.

Plesier Jeannie. Mag my storie vir jou en almal in jou wêreld, moed gee. Dis nie maklik nie, maar dit is moontlik.
