I really can relate to this session. All I do is think about the "shoulds" I always compare myself to the best qualities that someone else has and think "I should be like that" or "I should be able to do that too" I get jealous of others easily. I REALLY do think the grass is greener. I know this is...

I am just starting this session and wondering if I have to spend an entire week on it. I definitely will if suggested. I've been to a Naturopath and she put me on a healthy diet for about 3 months.

I am trying hard every day to be confident and talk to myself in a positive way and trying not to do the "what-if" and dwell on the guilt of the past... this is not easy.

Hi, I am very new (mid Dec). I have general anxiety that comes and goes every day and disrupts my eating and sleeping but only when it rears it's head. I had my first anxiety/panic attack about 6 years ago and was put on medication right away. I have stopped taking the medication about a year ago as...
