I read an article the other day where it asked the reader if you were living by who you ARE, or if you are living by who you AREN’T. For exampleSeason, are you living to NOT be like someone such as a parent, sibling, friend, relative, boss, etc? Are you spending all your time trying…

I was in a funk I just couldn’t shake. My physical pain began to worsen, I didn’t know what to do. I had recently watched a Byron Katie video that forced me to wake up. I was on autopilot for too long; believing it was a positive autopilot wasn’t helpful, and obviously, I was not…

We all started out so differently. Some of us came into a loving two-parent home and love only began to be withheld once we hit puberty or once our attitudes shifted and our parents could no longer deal with the “you just don’t understand” drama that we clung to. Some of us were born into…

At 19, I worked my first professional 9-5 and felt pretty damn mature in my nylons and shoulder padded outfits. I wanted to continue feeling that way, so when my birthday arrived, I decided that I didn’t need to tell anyone. I was 20 now, so no need for that silly attention. I went all…

Sometimes, we are just reaching for a shred of hope. Things are not looking good. It feels like everything in your life is completely out of your control, and they probably are.

You probably have friends who had unimaginable childhoods, but they appear to be doing well and stay positive about life. You may also know people who had what appear to be great childhoods, but they live in “poor me” mode and blame everything and everyone for their unhappiness. What’s the conclusion we can draw from…

I don’t remember exactly what she said because I was too busy being pissed off. It went something like this: “You do hear yourself, right? You are projecting what you didn’t have onto your daughter. You didn’t get to have certain experiences, so you are getting upset because she is choosing something different than what…

No, not that O.P.P., but the O.P.P. that stands for “Other People’s Problems.” A lot of people with anxiety accumulate a mass amount of anxiety from other people’s problems. Especially when our own problems settle down, we start taking on another anxiety project. Usually several at once. We want to take care of or worry…

Do you ever have that feeling like you can’t catch up to your thoughts? Like they keep running ahead of you and you can’t get them to stop long enough to let your rational thoughts catch up? You can’t get them to stop long enough to sort them, or counter-think them. Yah. That feeling. I…
