Many clients who start psychotherapy with me are there because they’re struggling to reconcile/integrate the extreme good and extreme bad in a loved one

To my couples who try to argue over their version of what happened in an argument being the RIGHT version:

Our memories are not concrete, frozen events symbolically, metaphorically, or emotionally. Rather, memories are changeable through how we relate to them, according to Viviane Silvera in her animated documentary, SEE MEMORY

It’s hard to be alone. Even dangerous.

It’s crazy the things I’ve seen people do to themselves to avoid the feeling of aloneness. There’s a spiritual hunger beneath this, the question of what to do with separation when we sense that, ultimately, we’re connected to something much larger than just the self.

What we're struggling with, in the U.S. and worldwide, is more a spiritual crisis than mental health crisis.

In our efforts to honor the common thread of humanity in us through diversity, we have devalued religion, the sacred, and
G-d, when we are fundamentally and inherently spiritual beings.

In her book The Awakened Brain, Lisa Miller, PhD details that 1/3 of our spirituality is inborn, with the remaining 2/3 being environmentally formed. She discussed the neurobiology behind 3 unifying principles of our spiritual brains, that: we are loved and held; we are guided, often by trail angels; and we are one, separate yet together.

How do you do relationship again after a close encounter with a narcissistic partner:

Heal and strengthen the relationship with yourself first. Then you go back out into the world and take your final exam that substantiates your healing by being in a functional healthy relationship.

Attachment is a delicate balancing act between self and other. Practice balance within yourself first and then manifest it in the external world in the act and practice of loving another person.
