fighting the emotional quicksand

One of the hardest lessons I have had to learn this year was learning the difference between enduring, and walking away from something that hurts.

Sometimes when we get get caught in the “emotional quicksand” of life we try and pull ourselves out…

accept the things you cannot change

It has been a hard lesson to learn this year “accept the things you cannot change”; especially when you know something is not right — yet you have to accept it to move through it.

it started with connection

My journey to healing began just a little over 5 1/2 years ago today, and it all started with connection!

It’s hard to believe that almost 6 years has gone by since the moment I walked into therapy; a place I wasn’t sure of, a place that felt scary but yet…

just breathe. . . .

Yesterday in session when having tears about my past in talking about things that hurt I said the words “I am broken and damaged and I am trying to heal”, and my therapist…

the {freedom} to be me

Tonight I decided to do something a little different with my blog and writing.

I had asked my therapist tonight on the phone “what should I write about in my blog tonight? what would you want to read and wonder about?”.

Sunday is one of my favorite days of the week, and it’s one of the most connecting days of the week for me.

the people in our lives

I always talk to my therapist about how God put him in my life at the right time.

It’s not often that I get triggered, in fact it’s been a while since I have had a pretty bad trigger!

Today in session I had such a huge trigger that it knocked me off my own senses of what was around me.

moving through with hope
