Stress Center Peer Support

Great advice about clearing high emotions. They can definitely destroy a person.
I have always been a very emotinal person. As i got older (as I've said in other posts) I thought of it as being compassionate or empathizing with others (putting myself in their shoes, as you said mike). It seems so ...

Thank you
Good point about not having the stress of a bad relationship!
Hopefully you know how appreciative I am. It is early, and my mornings can be tough. Bad dreams....I wish there was a way to remedy that!

I don't know where or how to begin. But any help would be appreciated. I started session 4 today...although I didn't really ...

I sure can. I am a visual artist, and a teacher. I also grinned really big when I heard the personality traits....sooooo me! It is hard I think, b/c we have always been taught to look deeper. That a rose is not just a rose...a gesture or movement is not just a movement...dig deeper for the meaning ...
