The Inner Workings of Making the Change

Everyone goes through changes in life. It's a natural part of the human experience. However, despite knowing this, we often find ourselves resisting change. We say we're not ready, feeling as if we're waiting for something to ripen within us before we can make the change.

For some people, the trigger to change can be a traumatic experience, while others may lose everything they have. Others may go through a life-altering event. But what is this...

Have you ever known someone who goes to church every Sunday, but still treats others with cruelty and disrespect? Or, maybe you've heard of someone who meditates daily but struggles with self-love and low self-esteem.

This is because loving energy and religious/spiritual practice do not always align.

We often associate prayer with religious institutions or acts of worship, but it can also be defined as an attempt to connect with a higher power or achieve a life goal. This includes...

If you're looking for security in life, you might be hesitant to pursue a purposeful one. After all, living a purposeful life means chasing something that gives you personal value and allows you to make a difference in the world, often in uncharted territory. This can be intimidating and may not give you the security you want. But it's important to remember that true security comes from within and through a connection with a higher power, not from external sources.

When we rely on external...

All of us see failures differently. Some of us imagine them or think we are experiencing them even before they happen. Others refuse to acknowledge that things are not working and they are not prepared to face reality.

I have noticed that for some of my clients when their self-esteem is affected by events in their lives or there is a change in circumstances, these things may have rocked the foundation of their lives. They will feel like they are no longer on track, and so it is easy...

One of the most valuable gifts we can give ourselves is the freedom to be our authentic selves. There are many points of argument on what is the Authentic Self.

Some may say it is the freedom to be whatever they want to be...

Others say it is to be aligned with one's soul and to be that soul on earth without conforming to the pressures and cookie-cutter uniformity of society...

And there are others who say that being the Authentic Self is to be faithful to one's inner...

Whenever I tell people that I send out articles to those on my mailing list at least once a week, they are fascinated by it. The next question they ask is:

They: Do you write the content yourself? 

Me: Yes.

They: How do you find the time?

Me: I make time

They: Wow. I have difficulty writing content and don't have the time for it.

Me: I do what do because I gotta do what I gotta do

So why do I write these articles week after week? As a therapist, not only do I serve my paying clients, I...

You may have read articles or books that tell you to remove yourself from people who have made it a habit of letting you down. Yes, we all know this in our heads and hearts. But the reality is, there are some circumstances in life, where you may be torn as to whether you should remove yourself or the other person from your life. For example, it can be a business partner, a colleague, a parent, a sibling, a spouse, or an ex whom you share children with.

What can you do in these circumstances?

The challenges of communication go deeper than just being an effective communicator. 

Everyone comes with their own load of stuff:

• unhealed childhood issues, and doesn't even have to be big traumas. They could be unresolved sadness, unresolved anger, not being heard, not being seen etc
• life experiences (vast or narrow determines a person's world views) If a person is well travelled and well-immersed multi-culturally, well read and has a deep level of self-awareness, how can you...

We have the Ghost Whisperer, Dog Whisperer, Cat Whisperer, and Horse Whisperer, but have we thought about being the Mother of all whisperers? The Human Whisperer? I know this sounds funny but it is the most basic life skill set we all must strive to possess. And we think that as humans, we know how to do this.

The number ONE challenge that almost all of my clients have is to be able to communicate effectively. Whether it is with their family, loved ones, colleagues, clients or subordinates,...
