Therapy

When listening truly occurs, you are present; your heart open to feeling the experience - to being attentive to what is being conveyed beyond the words that are spoken.  

Listening requires ultimate presence.  You cannot be thinking of what you will say next or what point you need to make; rather you are immersed in the experience - captive audience, attentive, listening with your heart - not your head, as you allow the words to touch you - to move you.  

You remain motionless - still - all that you are aware of is your presence - you are in this moment participating in the experience that is led by another's sharing of their story.

The Sacred Rite Of Listening  ~ The Wisdom Teachings

Here I share the principles of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help you understand and change your feelings; to feel how you wish - rather than be a prisoner to your feelings.  Learn how to create a new 'story' based on how you want to feel and the "true" thoughts that you will choose to hold in your mind.

Choose How You Feel - Applying Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT)Strategies

There are going to be things that happen to us in childhood that are irrevocably damaging; and not because we are in any way deserving of this and so it becomes the question, “How will I examine this in such a way that I can rise up? ...that I can somehow overcome and prevail and allow this to strengthen me further, incite me with knowledge – allow me to be empowered not only because of it but because I choose so.”

Welcome to this series of 'ask dorothy' and the real-life clients that I share with you; in hopes that you will feel helped and healed as you listen; as you may share some or much of the same circumstances with my clients; and that you feel encouraged and hopeful to heal whatever situations and circumstances of the past you may continue to carry.  Namaste!

Reclaim Your Power  |  Client Story #001  |  Ask Dorothy

My client was first diagnosed with bipolar disorder at 18. Bouts of depression cycling with longer periods of manic episodes that resulted in a six-week hospital stay. 

There she met a wonderful psychiatrist who she would, some 7 years later, seek out; asking if she could try medication. Her life felt unstable and spiraling; and she did not feel like herself. The young female psychiatrist would help.

Therein began a lengthy relationship of weekly or bi-weekly appointments and the ever important task of finding the right combination of medications to which needed my client’s due diligence to adhere to regularly.

One of the many supports that my client was encouraged to seek out was Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT). She reminds me to this day of the story of seeing an article that I wrote for a local paper, together with a brief description on CBT and how it helps.

Fast forward to present day. My support and our work in therapy, together with the foundational pillars of: sleep, exercise, healthy eating, and a balanced schedule which includes 'alone time' and meditation, are what allows this client to live and thrive in the world (with a successful career, the raising of two wonderful teenagers, and the love of a husband who adores her). Many would say that she is a perfect example of how mental health requires ongoing support; of how important it is to have the love of family and friends; and to not feel judged.

Mental health is vital for living a happy and productive life. Many times my client has described how difficult it is for her to think clearly, to feel optimistic, and to be productive when she is in the throws of low affect. What so many of us take for granted; what we find easy and simple, becomes painfully difficult for her.

Namaste!

You Are Not Alone: Client Story #004 - 'ask dorothy'

In a recent session, I witnessed a client’s state of pure joy; joy as authenticity and honesty; joy that is of elation and a natural altered state of pure consciousness. 

It was what I would describe as witnessing abundance; abundance of happiness, of gratitude; of the ability that we all have (and that she so beautifully demonstrated); to see everything in one’s life as significant and of precise purpose; and of the inherent ability to choose based on the deepest desires of our heart.

Our session was also a testament to the simplicity of miracles that abound - everywhere.

This entire session of miracle manifesting was fun and also different from the momentary enlightened state that clients often experience in our sessions; and as they begin to feel relief, inspiration, of purposeful action, and the reclaiming of their self and their life.

Miracles found readily in the everyday moments of life, now witnessed with the joy that arises from living in the present moment; of no longer harrowing in all that was wrong with the world and with judging others unkindly. In this way, miracle seeking becomes our choice.
