OWN YOUR S**T

You guys, for serious, it’s very important that you learn how to own your s**t. At some point in your life, you really have to get honest about the weirdest and most damaged and most broken parts of your existence, and take responsibility for it all...lovingly, but unblinkingly.

You gotta know your own crazy. Can’t own your s**t without knowing your crazy.

For many years, I didn’t own my s**t because I didn’t KNOW my s**t. If you don’t know your s**t, people, then that s**t will control you and make your life into Crazy Town. Until you own your s**t, all you do is make excuses for the madness that is always surrounding you, while throwing blame around like confetti.

By this point in my life, though, I know the worst of me. I know the triggers that make me into a temporarily insane person. I know my vulnerabilities and my pride. I know the stuff that makes me want to deceive, and the stuff that makes me vindictive, and the stuff that makes me insecure, and the stuff that makes me just flat-out mean and ugly. And I definitely know all my demons by their first names.

This is what therapy does — helps you to learn your s**t, inside and out. This is what meditation is for. This is what recovery is for. This is what reconciling the contradictions of your life is for. This is what radical honesty is for. This is what the courage of truthful introspection is for.

Owning your s**t begins to happen the moment you finally recognize that the common denominator in all your biggest problems is YOU.

Not them: YOU.

It’s a beautiful, humbling, necessary realization. It’s an education. It’s painful. It’s the beginning of adulthood. It’s pretty much the definition of maturity.

And then you take a deep breath and say, “OK, I admit it. It’s me. That’s my crazy s**t. I own it. Now what?”

Then, the work begins.

Own your s**t with love and perspective and self-compassion...but definitely own it.

Don’t worry if other people are owning their s**t or not. That isn’t your problem. Just own yours. Keep your side of the street clean and honest, and rest of it is none of your business.

Just be honest and real.

ONWARD!

Starting a much need support group for Parents....please share with anyone who could benefit.

Support Group for Parents of Children Diagnosed with Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD) or symptoms of BPD

I would like to invite you to schedule an intake appointment to determine whether you would be appropriate to participate in a Group for Parents of Children either diagnosed with Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD) or have symptoms of BPD. The Group will be held monthly starting on September 23rd. The first 7 sessions will be based on the book, Stop Walking on Eggshells for Parents by Randi Kreger. There will be discussion and handouts based on the chapters assigned for the month.
For those who want to continue the group after this, we will continue with learning
the 4 components of Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT) – Mindfulness, Distress Tolerance, Emotion Regulation and Interpersonal Skills. There may be an opportunity to invite our children in to participate for a 5th component of DBT called, The Middle Road. DBT has been established as the most effective and widely used and available treatment for BPD, although there are other treatments such as Schema Therapy and Mentalization-Based Therapy (MBT) that are showing good effectiveness as well. In a study of those who participated in DBT for one full year, 77% of patients no longer met the criteria for the diagnosis of BPD. There is good treatment available and provides hope for both those who have symptoms of BPD and their parents who are often deal with such difficult and painful behaviors from their child. It is very helpful for parents to understand and be able to practice using DBT skills themselves in order to support their child in using them as well.
The schedule of meetings are tentatively scheduled for Saturdays at 1-3PM on 9/23, 10/14, 11/11, 12/9, 1/13, 2/10, 3/9, 4/6, 5/4 and 6/1, 7/6 and 8/3. The Intake appointment will be approximately 55 min, cost 130.00 and need to be scheduled before 9/15/23 in order to be considered for the group. This is a private pay group- insurance is not accepted. However, I can give you a receipt in which you can turn in to your insurance company for reimbursement. Each group session is 2 hours long and costs 50.00 per person or 75.00 per couple.
Please call or email to schedule an Intake appointment if you would like to learn more about the group and be considered to participate in the group. My phone number is 717-856-1750 and email – pam_moran@hotmail.com I look forward to meeting and working with you. There is hope. You can make a significant difference in your child’s life through your support, understanding, effective communication and boundaries, although it is ultimately their responsibility to make changes and improve their own life.
Take care,
Pam Moran, MSW, LSW
