Preparing to Transform
I have been attending therapy faithfully. I look forward to the day when I don’t require it any longer. At the same time, I encourage people to go. For some people, therapy is like an engine overhaul. For others, it’s like going in for… Continue Reading “Preparing to Transform”
Getting Triggered: Healing from Trauma
I wasn’t sure who would read my previous post on the experience of getting triggered (Getting Triggered). I can’t find much helpful information on it to be honest. The online article from 1in6 from which I cited was actually one of the best articles I’ve… Continue Reading “Getting Triggered: Healing from Trauma”
Blame and Accountability
I don’t advocate going through divorce, but, should you submit yourself to the process with your whole self, it will mature you in ways you didn’t anticipate. How? Dealing with difficult emotions on the fly while developing insight at the same time. I’ll let… Continue Reading “Blame and Accountability”

The Reboot
“Can you burn out a brain?” That was my question to my therapist on Tuesday. He just leaned back and knowingly stared at me. Dammit, but why won’t he just give me a straight answer for once?! Have you ever felt like your brain… Continue Reading “The Reboot”
Can You Nullify A Person?
My therapist is wise. I appreciate him. Sometimes we chip away at our therapeutic process for months, even years, and we get good results although we’d like to move faster. And, then, our therapist says one thing that busts everything wide open. It isn’t… Continue Reading “Can You Nullify A Person?”
Opening The Vaults
I am still in therapy. It’s no longer something I remotely enjoy not that I ever enjoyed sitting in the Hot Seat before. Now, however, it’s work, and I can feel it. I can feel myself becoming defensive when my therapist asks a question… Continue Reading “Opening The Vaults”
Therapy Tuesday: Rewriting History
Tuesday’s therapy session was excellent. In fact, it was so good that it is worth sharing. I have been trying to document the therapeutic process in an effort to depict how the process works so that those who are afraid of entering in will… Continue Reading “Therapy Tuesday: Rewriting History”
