Doing therapy?
posted by Deva Harischandra Jessica
There are those who turn up their noses at this possibility, those who believe that therapy is for crazy, unbalanced people, that only a few people need to look for it... There are those who think it's fresh, silly, a mimimi...
I realize that we live in a society that, due to many of its characteristics, already makes us sick a lot. Be it physically, mentally, emotionally and energetically. I also believe that, in addition to this social issue, we carry in our cells and energetic body, memories brought from our ancestry and also from other existences.
As I see it, we all have issues that can be worked through in therapy. I have had the privilege of allowing myself some of them, among which, tantric therapy stands out in an incredibly transformative way in my life.
Here I share some of the most significant learnings, true watersheds in my life. It took a lot of time, money and energy to absorb them. But I am immensely grateful for having had the opportunity to meet them and put them into practice in my daily life. Perhaps, they can be very helpful to you too. Over many experiences, therapeutic practices and psychotherapy, they became part of me, feel free to use all those that also make sense to you:
It is important to look at yourself with love, to recognize your own strengths and qualities.
It's not worth reliving the past. There are things that should be left there. Return what belongs to your father and mother and follow. You can build the person you want to be and it starts now.
Honor your story, realize how important it was in your construction. But the past is not a place you need to live anymore. Reframe what hurt. And let go.
Know and recognize its excellence. You have them. Look at them, admire them and carry them with care. They are parts of you.
Each of us can choose what to do with our lives.
There is no such thing as doing right. Even though you're doing a lot of bullshit, you don't know it. Do the best you can each day.
Allow yourself to feel how you are really feeling.
Break with the ideas you bring with you boxed. With the ready-made answers you already have for everything. Learn to relate to the situations that are presented to you. Corticalize.
Be understanding with yourself, just as you are with your best friends. Don't be destructive to yourself.
Get the people you admire off a pedestal. Nobody is good at everything. Nobody knows everything. We all have our shadow sides. Humanize people more.
Value yourself first. Look at yourself with full acceptance. See you. Don't pay attention to what you think others think about you. Don't be defeated by the opinions of others. Take care. Be independent.
Don't mind weird looks at you. People do not imagine the processes experienced and provided by their work. Have compassion for these people. Assume that you bother and everything is fine.
Stop seeing a downside to everything. Take the good things that come to you. Every time you criticize yourself, create a counterpoint to it.
Always notice if what you are thinking is loaded with right and wrong. Right for who?
Clear the lines from the past that echo in your head and make you feel bad. They belong to whoever said them. Get out of the pattern of believing them. Sense the trigger and release.
Let go of the idea that you have to be perfect. Who says you have to be fine all the time? Allow yourself.
It's not because you're a therapist that you need to welcome everyone. There are people who are ready for your service and others who are not. And everything is fine. Respect yourself!
Each of these learnings was very important to me, and I am immensely grateful for having had the opportunity to meet each therapist and experience the processes they lead. I was blessed with these learnings, and I am aware that I still have a lot to learn, but I celebrate each one of them. I share with great affection these gifts that life has given me. If any of them make your heart feel like it's for you too, I'm very happy to use it without moderation.
Namaste!
