• The Quiet

    It’s late.   I take a deep breath.   In this quiet moment I let the tears flow. I prefer to cry alone.  I’m authentic in this moment. The fear is real. The moment is surreal. I feel gratitude for the moments I have left. “One breath at a time”  I say when it’s just

  • Low grade depression?

    I know the term low grade fever is used when describing someone having a fever that is not dangerous. I feel like these last few months I have had a low-grade depression, because I am functional, I go to work, I make an effort to be sociable for the most part. But the solitude that

  • Crazy

    I found myself sharing with someone that certain people in my immediate world bring out the “crazy” in me.  As I shared that with this person, it resonated within me as a truth.  However, as I reflect on that conversation I realize I do not want it to be my truth.  I do not want to hold or

    Betrayal Trauma

    A valuable piece of knowledge I obtained from my many years of therapy is that I have invisible threads that are tethered to my past hurts.  A slight or hurt I experienced in the present is potentially tethered to an emotional hurt in my past.  This can manifest in irrational or overreaction to things that are occurring

    I wonder why we take the path of least resistance?  I find I take said path all the time, in different areas of my life.  Is it that we have a natural aversion to conflicts, challenges, or resistance?  What is it about a challenge that makes one decide that a quicker solution, maybe a less effective one or
