Psychotherapist & Meditation Teacher

You ALWAYS speak truth. I HEAR you.

 I am so grateful that although I am unable to be a client at this time, and your fees are incredibly REASONABLE; you’ve provided these wonderful theory sessions. 

With love and respect for a wonderful teacher,

i realized that, as a person who also suppresses her feelings, i HAVE TO take a good lesson from this client's story 

I needed to hear this! 

I don’t know how to go back and fix all the self harm I’ve done, but I need to do better moving forward. 

Lying to myself is devastating and I’ve been doing it for decades.🫤

I definitely have things I need to examine and deal with. I don't really want to delve deeply into them but I learned that I must. On order to live at my highest inner being. 

Being honest 

I've not been honest with myself. Making excuses, suppressing my inner voice. What do I really feel? 

Honest feelings

I have a bad habit of not being honest with myself when it comes to the things I do when I feel like less of a parent. I take too much responsibility for my kids behaviors when I need to learn how to separate their actions and choices from what I have taught them over the years. If I am to get past the anxiety that I end up with by blaming myself for everything that they do, then I will never find solace in my own life. 

Parenting young adults 

The anxiety of my 17-yr old client was over the top. The stress of always needing to do her best; and to compete with her peers in school and in sport, took its toll on her body. She was diagnosed with a bleeding ulcer. Ignoring the cues of your body is one form of not being honest with yourself. We all do this, including telling ourselves what we want to believe in hopes that it will be true. Your honesty frees you to live self-aware and awake.
