Joy is an easy emotion, right?
It's surprisingly one of the most challenging emotions!
When happiness is on the horizon, sometimes things just begin to slip...
Some may want the joy of intimacy with others but runs away at the first hint of closeness.
Others may wish for the happiness of calm yet cannot sit still for a moment and enjoy simply existing.
There are so many other examples- self sabotaging relationships, overthinking, being inflexible and more.
We often say we seek joy yet forget the need to address the underlying wounds that prevent us from ever coming close.
Once we heal the wounds, we make space for joy.

Shame is one of the most toxic emotions we can carry inside us.
It is so common in adults who have had a traumatic childhood, no matter the "level" of trauma that has occurred.
Shame is hidden.
It lurks in between shadows, afraid to be seen.
The only way to free oneself of shame is to stop hiding.
To find a safe space.
To share the feeling of shame and stories behind it.
And then you can start living.

Some clients can be very clear and comfortable expressing anger in sessions.
Anger is a good emotion.
Many times as children we were not allowed to be angry.
And when you pull back the curtain of anger, even just a drop, you will undoubtedly find fear, sadness and shame, hiding, huddled in a corner.

You have stayed silent long enough.
Today is the day the child within can be brought out.
And allowed to express and feel and talk.
It is time for your voice to be heard.

Clients will often express to me, "David, I should be happy. I have good things in my life. But I have these anxieties, fears and criticisms in my head all day that make me so miserable."
Sometimes, it is not the noticeable burdens of life that are so heavy.
It is the internal ones that no one can see which weigh us down and hold us back from contentment and calm.
When we learn to properly manage and work with our thoughts, the burden of an overworked mind starts to lift and a feeling of calm can be reached.

I'm sharing this post because it rings true.
I hear people often saying they are "triggered" by certain events or interactions.
Let me be clear:
I am not blaming anyone for being triggered from past trauma by current experiences.
In fact, it is what we are biologically hardwired to do.
However.
Wouldn't it be nice not to be triggered?
To heal so wholly that others cannot trigger sadness, anger or fear within you?
To reach a state in internal calm and peace whereby you are in control of what your reaction and emotional state will be?
This is absolutely possible.
When you address you trauma in a healthy and safe way, you can learn how to steer the ship of your life in the right direction.

One of the greatest teachers of all time, John Bradshaw, would often say that we become human "doings" not human "beings."
We have a desperate need to justify our existence by producing and creating.
And yet we can never feel enough.
Not until we learn our true and intrinsic value.

You know something funny?
A lot of times people will come to me, upset and anxious because of something they were told.
And these expressions of anger usually end with, "and I wish I didn't even let this bother me!"
It is a lifelong process to learn how to stop allowing the judgments, thoughts and words of others to enter our minds and hearts.
But when we reach this place of letting things go, we achieve a state of calm and contentment, free from the need to please others.

So many of us are afraid of both our anger and sadness.
Both anger and sadness are powerful emotions and need certain limits.
But if we box them up and hide them, true healing will never be attained.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) has been all the rage for quite some time now. And don't get me wrong- there is definitely a place for behavior modification and dealing directly with behaviors.
But.
If you want the positive results of therapy to remain, the root cause, feelings and needs MUST be addressed.

This is exactly why I value the therapeutic relationship with my clients so much. When we are open and vulnerable we can connect on a deep level and begin the healing process.
