During
times of personal crisis we experience emotional pain. Pain is our soul’s way
to let us know that something is wrong.
There
is a sense of dis-empowerment in our life for which one seeks
outside of self to remedy. We tend to attempt to cope in ways that we find
comforting; social isolation (if we are alone we can’t hurt anyone, and they
can’t hurt us), anger (unable to express emotions in our relationship, etc.),
substance, gaming, and sexual behaviors which are one of the most natural ways
in which we seek to self sooth.
The
therapy approach I incorporate into treatment is to analyze where the
source of the dis-empowerment began. Sometimes the original source began in
childhood, or it may have been in recent relationships. Everything comes down
to power and control, healthy power and control or unhealthy adapted power and
control.
Personal
healthy empowerment, the goal behind therapy approaches that I use in
treatment. If you or your partner is experiencing negative consequences as a
result of the coping behaviors that you have been using - know that there is
help.
When we
begin to listen to our soul and seek assistance through social support or
professional therapy, there is a shift in our consciousness and change will be
able to take place!
