My Demons

by

“And one day I realized my demons were not demons at all. Just the things I did not want to face.” -JM Storm It takes so much courage to turn and face again the dark and painful parts of one’s history. The emotions, the memories, the realities of hurt and abandonment by those who we […]

Resolutions

by

“Honor the space between no longer and not yet.” – Nancy Levin I’m pretty unapologetically nerdy and spent my 18+ hours in the car this holiday season listening to recordings of the EMDR International Association’s annual conference.  In one of the talks, Dr. Joan Borysenko mentioned this quote and spoke of the time one is […]

Secure Attachments in Adults

by

Secure attachment. It is so much more difficult to form secure attachments in our adult relationships, if we did not have this as little ones. Lionhearts, we can repair this!!
