Here’s a problem.

We all have a bucket that is ours to manage. Some examples of why things aren’t working in today’s world and I will always have a job in mental health.

We aren’t accountable.

It’s hard to know where to start so let’s start with you.

It’s not okay to not give your best. EVERYDAY in EVERYTHING. It starts a trickle down. You don’t give your best and the next person watching decides, well, “they didn’t so I don’t have to”.

If you don’t give 100%, it affects EVERY aspect of your life. You DISRESPECT you. You let your spouse down, who lets their job down (unRELIABLE) and becomes the poor work force that people used to count on and maintain. We lower our standards and accept less while expecting more because we feel inADEQUATE. We become entitled in hopes of obtaining a full bucket at someone else’s expense.

Meanwhile your kids watch and learn. They become irRESPONSIBLE and stop learning and settle for 50%. They take that to school. Their BEHAVIORS suffer. Teachers tire and stop having high EXPECTATIONS or holding kids ACCOUNTABLE. Kids who give 50% aren’t whole so they use poor COPING skills to try to feel better about this as shame sets in. We then have behaviors that require a separate room, building or program. So we throw money at a problem that could be solved if we went back to 100%.

So, now we have a bigger issue. Kids who don’t know how to manage because parents don’t manage and we have to be careful not to say anything out loud because we may offend someone. So then, we become dependent on alternate coping (alcohol, drugs, to***co, prescriptions). We then need a therapists/social worker/police officer in our schools because teacher, school counselor, principal isn’t enough because we are trying to cover up the inADEQUATE parenting given by the spouse who is an individual not giving 100% because you didn’t.

We are all guilty of giving less and expecting more. But the trickle down hurts us all. Just so you know, in my life...I say it like I see it to hold you high and I expect you to do the same for me.

Have you ever noticed that our media is focused on maintaining anxiety and chaos? This takes us all for a ride.

At Possibility Junction, the focus is to teach you skills to get your power back, manage your emotions and get out of the therapy office and back to your life.

Yeah, we realize this is different than most mental health agencies and this is on purpose. We treat you how we would want to be treated. The magic follows. 🌀

When life has you tangled it is sometimes necessary to ask for help to figure things out. It’s usually easier for someone who doesn’t have emotions about your situation. Possibility Junction can help you sort. 🌀

I see a young dad and his daughter for therapy. Dad says, “I don’t know what she needs or how to teach her to be a strong young woman”. I said, “Does you doubting yourself help her”? He paused. He shook his head “no”. He said, “She needs a strong woman like you”. My reply, “As long as I am here, she always has me”.

Then, I shared a story that sealed it for him.

When I was 14, I went to foster care with nothing but the clothes on my back. I sat in a room, in a strange house, with strangers, alone. This woman walks in and says, “Why don’t you get your bath and get some
rest ~ here are some pajamas for you tonight and we will go buy you new clothes tomorrow”. So, I walk into the bathroom and there is a bath tub. I took showers. I looked at the bath tub and realized I didn’t know how to keep the water in the tub. There was no plug. I just stood there.

My foster mom realized the water hadn’t turned on and knocked on the door to ask if I was ok. “Yeah, but I don’t know how to keep the water in the bath tub”. She smiled and said, “Let me
show you how to take a bath”. She started the water, flipped up the lever on the metal thingy and said, “this plugs the drain”. She added bubble bath and left the room only to return minutes later with arms full of candles. She smiled and instructed me to “let a little water out if it starts to get cold and turn on the hot again and stay as long as you need”. I had never taken a long hot bath because we took quick showers to save water.

This was a first but not a last. She taught me that I could do anything. She taught me that I was smart. She showed me what beautiful was. She showed me how to go to college. She taught me how to recover from a break up (from a boy who didn’t deserve me). She taught me to believe in me. She changed me. Not because she knew everything but because she cared. She took the time and made a difference.

To a girl who didn’t know ~ she poured into me until I did.

I reminded the young dad that his daughter will be fine because he will pour into her.

He said, “I will. Thank you, Sandra for teaching me I can”.

“Absolutely. Absolutely. Absofrickinlutely!”

I love this.
