I’ve never had a blog before, but I’ve always loved sharing my story and insights with others

Keywords: My Life As a Therapist , Starting a blog , Who am I , Why I Became a Therapist

My goal is to give my personal experience with counseling and mental health topics. I also want to share with you some of the tools I provide my clients, and hopefully, you will find them helpful too.

I mostly post pictures of my travels because i want to cherish the memories of each place that I have been to, either a picture of myself somewhere or a picture together with my travel buddies

Keywords: ALM101

Not only that, I also post pictures with my old school friends, in this particular case is a picture of me with my middle school friends after we took our yearbook photo together. Moreover, because the COVID-19 pandemic we are not allowed to travel, so currently I only take selfies and post it on my Instagram. In addition, I don’t only use Instagram feeds to convey my identity, but also the Instagram story and highlights feature. Like I said earlier about posting my travels, I record or snap the places, then I post it on my Instagram story and add it in my highlights.

[Seeking wonder in a natural space that is sacred to others is a] kind of tension I want to try and resolve, even if it takes a long time, because it seems like the kind of tension that requires action, especially if I plan to keep visiting National Parks that once belonged to someone else

Keywords: travel

Some of what made the experience feel so mystical to me, I think, is the fact of walking through a space that has accommodated so many rituals and prayers. Inevitably a place like that acquires a kind of glow.

I don’t feel like me and I’m really trying to find my way back

I mean I know I’m fine and I’ll be fine eventually but this girl is struggling and I don’t know what I want in life nor do I know what I’m doing.

I know who I am, and how I got here, but who do I want to be now / next / moving forward?

Keywords: {0}

It is a simple question, really. I have built the whole foundation up to this point. I have chosen what makes me who I am. I have eliminated the things I don’t want to be, absorbed and molded who I want to be, so why can’t I just answer the damn question??? And as I sit here, feeling a bit ashamed, a bit scared, a bit nervous, a bit pissed, I realize that my my identity has not been nurtured or cared for in a LONG time. And the ton of bricks hits me.

Finding a hobby that keeps my mind and body active is a blessing I’ve been needing

If you’re having any sort of identity crisis or feelings of self-doubt, if there is something that you’ve been wanting to do, just start doing it. I know that sounds cliché but if it’s something that you think you’ll enjoy and you don’t know how to do it, look up videos on YouTube or articles on Google to help you get started with it. Keeping your mind active is an incredible way to keep yourself out of the darkness. I promise you, doing things you enjoy will make you proud of yourself even if you think nobody else is proud of you.

Recognizing and acknowledging the power I have and powers I want to have are the keys to making real change

Just having passed a power station, it struck me that I feel powerful. I have no problem describing myself as strong, but do not generally identify with power. That needs to change.

I used to be the most important person in their lives, but they’ve grown up without so much as a backward glance

Keywords: life at 40 , growing up , motherhood , woman

I peer back into the past to see if I can catch a glimpse of an earlier version of me, but that person was young and full of insecurities. And our dreams no longer match up. I’m wiser now, rounder in both body and spirit, and with mileage in my soul, I see barely a shadow of myself in the younger version of me. Like an oak tree contemplating an acorn I suppose. There is something quite liberating in this activity though. Pleasure floods through me when I realise I am no longer as fragile, no longer as desperate to be liked or no longer as hungry to make my mark on the world. I am, I come to a startling conclusion, content. I mull this concept around in my mind for a while. Contentment. It is so far from what I think I wanted in life, and yet, I like the way it feels. Smooth. Pleasing. Comfortable. I’m shrugging this on, like my new furry coatigan, while I work out what I want to do for this next stage of my life. How I want to spend my time and energy, which is less boundless than it once was. And I come to the conclusion that this stage of life is a gift. An opportunity to think again about where to direct oneself. It comes with the acceptance that there is no destination that does not fly past before you’ve had time to unpack and change the bed linen. Life is flow. Life is motion. Life is what happens between events. Life must be lived in the moment.

I identified her story as my story

Keywords: {0}

A year ago I would not ever think my feelings or portrayal of her would ever change. In fact, I went on a limb calling her retreat as being the single most life changing event in self discovery, I had ever experienced. When actually, the discovery was, it wasn’t a discovery after all. It was a desperation of belonging and willingness to believe her words had more power than mine. It was an agenda with a fluffed up version of Christianity that was to fit the needs of idolizing thy self. Honestly, I kept feeling this truth often, and pushing it aside.
