Stress Center Peer Support

We all end up here because of suffering. Some more so than others, but suffering none the less. When I started the program last summer I did not expect I’d be forever relieved from pain as that would be unrealistic. When I did complete the program last autumn my first few weeks out included several ...

The advice already provided here is so excellent, I won't even try to offer more. I agree with all. You cannot make a person love you. Sometimes we want that love so desperately we are willing to grovel away so much time begging for it. Your story is heartbreaking. I hope you understand your advice ...

First of all, your husband is correct, you are doing a great job by trying! It looks like a couple of things are going on, and you have skills from this program to handle them! That’s the good news. The difficult thing is that your feelings are many, and all of them are uncomfortable. You don’t have...

So wonderful to see so many people helping and supporting each other here on the Support Circle. I hope to continue watching each of you progress all the way through your programs. Don't give up. The end result is worth all the hard work. Debchance, I felt quite sad reading your last post. Let me sh...

Talking is one of many forms of communication. Talking is quite simple if you suspend your internal rehearsing of what the other person is thinking. Talk has two components. The outflow of words and the inflow of words. The second part of talking is listening. Most people thoroughly enjoy talking wi...

Hi All. Debchance, thanks so much for the kind mentions. Always is nice to know when we have helped. You are quite an inspiration to so many here as well. I do hope all the new members stay with their sessions and homework. The same-old-same-old only gets us the same old results and the same old rea...
