The Viable Alternative

I thought I was the only one who dealt with morning anxiety where as soon as you wake up, you get a flood of negative thoughts and anxious feelings about life which get your day off to a bad start. However, after encountering a number of other people with similar experiences, I’m finding that it’s quite a common occurrence.

Hey, I’m back again with this being inhibited and stifled stuff.

Dealing with that is a bitch ain’t it?

In my previous message, I shared with you that a reason why you may be inhibited and stifled is because you’re disconnected from your body which is what you feel with, and if you can’t feel, you can’t flow.

Yeah, I know, it’s been a long time, but if you will, follow me down this lane…

You’re a dude who’s insecure about your height because people have been poking fun at it for most of your life, and that has had a negative impact on your self esteem which in turn has had a negative impact on your dating life, career, and your social life.

I’m pleased to announce that I reached a new level in my therapy. This level definitely wasn’t possible for me last year because I hadn’t undergone the healing I needed to undergo in order for me to get to this place.

I’m smiling because within the past week, I’ve had the pleasure of two separate one-on-one conversations with two female friends (who coincidentally have the same name), who, after repeatedly getting in unhealthy romantic relationships for most of their adult lives, were each able to get into the most whole, healthy relationships of their entire lives. In fact, one of them invited me to her wedding. The other told me that it was like she met her soul mate. Read more…

Wow…how time flies.

A year ago, I wrote a blog titled, “One Year of Therapy – My Journey of Healing, Growth and Transformation,” where I talked about the changes I witnessed after my one year anniversary of starting therapy.
