Inside a Counseling Session: What Really Goes On

I can imagine it with you. Hey, I’ve watched TV and the movies! I’ve seen how people are pouring their hearts out while being judged as crazy or defective.

I mean, we’ve all seen this setup:

The head nod.

The “uh-huh”.

The silence as the counselor sits across from you analyzing every word, every movement you make while looking down at the note pad that holds all your darkest secrets.

Until time runs out, you’re left spilling your guts while being judged to be crazy in some way - yes, judged, analyzed - and you already feel so self-conscious and crazy all on your own!

Who needs that???

I don’t either!

And, that’s why I want to tell you that’s not at all how it works. Breathe. Sense the relief! It’s not how we work anyway!

Are You Being “Selfish"?

Inside the dark envelope that surrounds you, it’s warm, peaceful, and almost blissful.

You could relish this for at least a few more hours, totally unaware and uncaring in this moment of what calls to you from the rest of this new day. That list of things that always seems to be waiting, and sometimes wailing, for attention. In this brief escape, you are relaxed and unburdened by the weight of this brand new day.

When the Monsters Come Calling - How to Cope with Worry

You mean there really is such a thing as monsters, Beth? Let's get clear before I give you nightmares! The monsters I'm talking about are the ones who come visiting, most often at night, just as we are trying to let go of the day and fall into a deep, restful sleep. These monsters don't have physical form, but they are real just the same. The monsters may not be big and hairy with pointy teeth, but they bite us just the same...
