(Luke 3:5)The night of my overdose, I sat down on one of beautiful antique white lawn chairs and slowly sank to the ground. The legs suddenly too fatigued to hold me up. This chair, along with it's occupant, legs too tired to do anything but sag.I remember a small sketch my pastor often drew when I was a child - a chair with only three legs. The illustration had something to do with lack of faith.It's been difficult to go through this season wondering if it is simply this...lack of faith...that has crumbled me. On the other hand, if my faith is strong, what could be so mighty as to crumple my faith?I rest in verses that show me be...

If you could have readers leave with one piece of truth about suicide, what would it be? Jill: Suicide is a multi-faceted, complex event and though there may be a present catalyst that triggers it, ultimately it is a psychological drama that happens within the mind of a suicidal individual resulting from intense inner pain. This is a theory developed by Dr. Edwin Shneidman, one of the leading figures in the study of suidiology and it is the one theory that makes sense to me. We must recognize the inner pain ...

I’m specifically discussing toxic relationships, which are characterized by the following.Toxic relationships; take heavily from us without giving anything back. sap our joy as well as our mental and emotional energy. represent people who are hateful, hurtful, critical and discouraging the vast majority of the time you are around them. constantly leave you feeling empty, guilty, incompetent and ashamed represent people who are verbally and emotionally abusive to you. bring out the absolute worst in you.Weeding out Toxic Relationships.

It all starts with this song. I think back to childhood, the years I spent wandering around my own brain as a young adult. It hurts to remember the hurts inflicted on others as I tried to disown my own skin. The only answer then was Grace. And the only answer now is Grace. But in between the question and the answer is that sick-stomach phase when you sink in your shame and forget that the ladder is still sitting in the muck with you. The same ladder you crawled out on last time.Nothing scalds like the memory of wrongsI did when I was youngHow could I?How could I?I see the eyesof the others that I so carelessly abusedHow could I?How could I?I'm sorry.Well, I've carried this a long timeIn a well-hidden bundle on my backBut I've real...

Personally, I think we only really start to learn when we get out on the open road on our own after we have passed our driving test. Prior to that, sure we re picking up some basic skills, but we’re also in a protective bubble. Life Coaching is a bit like that. Getting qualified  as a life coach is all well and good, but you can’t really learn the craft until you get in front of clients and listen to real world issues and concerns. It really doesn’t matter how many books you’ve read, courses you’ve attended or workshops you’ve taken, nothing fully prepares you fully...

This is done in Step 4 of the 12 Step program of Alcoholics Anonymous, Al-anon, Adult Children of Alcoholic (ACOA) and Narcotics Anonymous. The list below is taken from the Step 4 section of the book ‘The 12 Steps for Adult Children’.  The different areas to be examined in Step 4 work suggested in the book above are: Repressed Anger Approval Seeking Caretaking Control Fear of Abandonment Fear of Authority Figures Frozen Feelings Isolation Low Self-Esteem Overdeveloped Sense of Responsibility Repressed Sexuality And from Clarence S. of Alcoholics Anonymous The inventory is of our defects, not our incidents.

This usually comes from a sense of guilt about the past and will not usually be lessened until they do Steps 4 through 9. These steps have an additional function of reducing guilt and shame. Workaholism can be seen as [...] (Source: Recovery Is Sexy.com) Recovery Is Sexy.com blogs http://www.medworm.com/rss/comments.php?id=3079588 Wed, 09 Dec 2009 18:36:00 +0100 3079588 http://www.medworm.com/index.php?rid=2576651&cid=t_257541_109_f&fid=34750&url=http%3A%2F%2Fpsychcentral.com%2Fblog%2Farchives%2F2009%2F07%2F06%2Fguilt-shame-and-public-life%2F Several public figures passed away last week, including Ed McMahon, Billy Mays, Farrah Fawcett and of course, Michael Jackson. Each of them made a difference for people and we don’t have to go into how they were important. The point is, they were and will remain important for years to come. When I consider the tragic life that Michael Jackson led, and how he told his former wife, Lisa Marie Presley, that he was afraid he would die the way her father Elvis did, one wonders how many other people have had the internal struggles that Jackson did. People get addicted to innumerable things. Alcohol, drugs, gambling, food, sex, shopping, video games—each is problematic and each can lead to destruction. But in Jackson’s case it was a combination of problems. He struggled with self-este...
