There was a time in our lives, up until about 2-3 years old, when we couldn’t talk. So we dealt with the world around us strictly through our emotions.
- When we felt hungry, we cried.
- When our diapers needed changing, we cried.
- When we were tired we cried.
- When we got scared, we cried.
- When we wanted to be carried or held, we cried.
- When something was taken away from us, or wanted something, we cried as well.

Hey guys, forgive me for being away for so long. I do YouTube videos in which, in the beginning, I give the address to this site, but always wind up apologizing for having not updated this for so long. Well anyway, finally I don’t have to do that any more. 🙂
Lots of growth has been going on in my life due to the continuous healing I’ve been undergoing via therapy which I’ve been now doing for 4 1/2 years and counting.

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.

So finally, June of 2014, after years of thinking that no idiot therapist could know better than me about me, I walked into a therapist’s office after setting up an appointment, having already had resolved within that I couldn’t overcome myself by myself. Read more…
So you’re a dude and you ended yet another, to put it mildly, “dysfunctional” relationship. But “Shut up,” you tell me, this one wasn’t so bad.

I’ve always been fascinated by stories of people transforming their lives in various areas, but in the midst of my fascination, it wasn’t until recently that I realized that I’m going through one of my own.
Last week, last Wednesday to be exact, has marked one year since I started therapy, body oriented therapy that is, and hitting this milestone of completing my “Freshman year” of therapy has compelled my to sit back and reflect how I’ve changed. Read more…
Among honouring yourself and consistently stepping out of your comfort zone, one of the cornerstones of developing a high self esteem is becoming aware of your self defeating thoughts, habits, patterns, behaviours and emotions (I explain more about this in a blog I wrote several years back titled, “3 Ways to Improve Your Self Esteem and Take Back Your Power“). Not being aware of them is like being in a boat unaware that there’s a hole in it and wondering why no matter how hard you row you have to struggle to stay afloat. Read more…
