Benefits of Losing Friends

 

 

“Want to go to a bar tonight, drink and pick up guys?” She hasn’t gotten that invitation in a long time. She hasn’t gotten a call or seen that person for a long time.

When a person is seriously ill with her eating disorder, many people are attracted to her and maintain a relationship with her as she lives and responds in life with her eating disorder intact. They are attracted to the needy, people-pleasing, high-risk-taking person who rarely says no. She's fun. She doesn't show her secret pain. She goes along to get along.

Being in recovery and in harmony with her true self attracts more healthy relationships and sends a wave of user repellent into the crowd around her.

Anxiety and Stress during a Pandemic

We are not living in ordinary times. Anxiety grows. Our reasonable adaptations for stress may not serve us well when stressors comes every day and sometimes ever hour. We suffer emotionally when the stability of our economics, our politics, our relationships, our health, our physical safety and the safety of those we love is continually threatened. Finding balance and reasonableness can be difficult or impossible. 

For psychotherapy success, please know that you can’t make a mistake when you are in psychotherapy. You can’t be wrong about yourself. Whatever you feel or think is part of who you are. This doesn't mean your perspective is helpful to your healing and development. It means that your perspective is what you believe and what guides you in your life.

If you are troubled, your inner self-talk may work against you as you make decisions. So, while you cannot make a mistake in psychotherapy, understanding who you are and what you believe is important. For psychotherapy to succeed, you need to be open to change. You need to be able to look at what you think and feel with a willingness to ask yourself questions and share that process with your psychotherapist.

What you remember or forget, your enthusiasm or reluctance, are expressions of who you are in the moment. They indicate the forces working within your psyche. You may not understand the reasons behind your experience, but reasons exist. Psychotherapy success involves getting to know those forces within you.
