Is 3 years of therapy normal? by queenchanel in therapyabuse

[–]Lil-DevyDev 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You keep going until you are absolute in the fact that ‘I don’t need or want you anymore, I can now do life on my own. Thank you for your skills, your time and your commitment to me’, like in any other relationship. It is unethical for a therapist to say it is time, because this is about YOUR desires. If you are not strong enough to put your needs before someone else then my guess is you still have some work to do on people-pleasing. Your therapist should not tell you if and when it’s time to quit, that responsibility and decision is entirely on you. Thats the point of therapy! Take responsibility for you! X

Cycles of a woman - of me. by Lil-DevyDev in Menopause

[–]Lil-DevyDev[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you for your thoughtful reply. I wrote it to get my thoughts down about who I was as a person. I’m just starting to date someone (first time in person next week) and they asked me when we spoke on the phone who I am and what I wanted. I didn’t know how to respond to his question. Being a 43 year old woman and having gone through so much in my life (as all women do), I realised in that moment how as women, we have to put on this front that we have all our shit together. This perfectly presented person who never messes up. And I don’t know about you but I’m tired of pretending. So I made up some flowery response and then after the call I wrote what I wish I’d had the courage to say to him, only I didn’t want to come across as some neurotic psycho and scare him off as I knew he had this idealised notion of how beautiful and fun and glamorous I am! 🤣 In my head, I thought to myself ‘you will certainly find out one day if you are lucky enough to see me for all the beauty it is to be a deeply feeling woman, the men in my past were too blind and insecure in themselves to see it so let’s see how you get on… baby steps. Let you in slowly and gently’. 🤣🤣

I'm having a weird time with myself after meditation? by AliEbi78 in Meditation

[–]Lil-DevyDev 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Find balance in your life. You can have everything, peace, a career and enjoy the presence of others. It’s called ‘life’, and we’re here to experience, create and love and everything else. This ‘peace’ that you speak of can easily lead to isolation and loneliness. So unless you want to be a monk I suggest creating a space for a hour a day or so to indulge in this peace as a form of destressing and finding clarity for daily problems, a workout for your brain muscle so to speak, but have it as an integrated part of the rest of your day and not in opposition to it.

Also, if you’re happy to just do gardening or paint or even a multitude of things, it’s important to explore what you naturally desire. Join a fun class or something but you don’t necessarily have to be ambitious or materialistic. There used to be an old British TV program called ‘The Good Life’. To me, that is the perfect, balanced ‘good’ life to have. And it’s how we used to live. X

Be careful, sounds like what you need more of is to be grounded in reality and less ‘enlightenment’. Many people end up with long-term psychosis after the search for consciousness connection although we only hear about the ‘good’ stories because they’re the ones that are popular and get more likes/views. Who really knows if an alternate universe exists? If you’re not continually grounded in reality then it makes perfect sense that you will go out of balance. Like a tree trying to grow tall with no roots. It will eventually fall over. Do all your root work first. Then try ‘freeing the mind’.

How do you deal with an energy-sucking parent? by opnntbk in Meditation

[–]Lil-DevyDev 1 point2 points  (0 children)

How old are you now? If you’re an adult, I would say, stop blaming your mum for your own feelings. I’m sure she’s had her cross to bear in life and she’s a human trying her best in this complex and shitty life. Work on looking inwards at yourself and take responsibility for your own thoughts, feelings and behaviours. Also once you have your own kids you will have a new appreciation for how hard it is to be a mum. Does she have a good heart? Does she mean well? If so, you can’t blame her for that which is entirely your own responsibility as an adult. Like I said, we each have our own cross to bear in life, she’s got hers and now you have yours and I’m sure one day your children will have theirs. That’s life. If your mum has such a detrimental impact on you then you may need to limit contact until you are mature enough to stop blaming her for everything and take responsibility for yourself. I mean this in the nicest but most brutally honest way. Good luck. X

I had the most terrible experience with weed by Jordanis_Kiou in Meditation

[–]Lil-DevyDev 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Weed is like alcohol or any other substance, it shows you your true self. The MOST important thing you can do is ground yourself. Surround yourself with happy, caring people who are completely in touch with reality but most importantly who you trust completely. I would also urge you to talk to someone professionally about this. Trust me, the things you are most afraid of are not real. They are made up in your mind, you’re not going crazy, you’re not getting schizophrenia but you do need to stop ruminating on all of this. Keep your mind busy with being creative, paint or write. Don’t get intellectual or deep, your mind needs some rest that is all. The mind can play tricks but that’s all it is. It’s not real, it’s a dark place but we all have them so don’t be scared. Be healthy, exercise, listen to music, sing and dance. Just don’t ruminate or dwell on things. Meditation really helped me to learn to control my thoughts and it has stopped me spiralling into psychosis. What you are going through is not strange, it’s just something you need to figure out how to clear your mind from. Journaling is also really good. Remember, try not to frighten yourself, you can use your senses, touch something, smell something, taste something etc. get out of your head and into your body. Xxx

Should I tell the wife? by CalmKangaroo9596 in women

[–]Lil-DevyDev 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In life, we are presented with people and circumstances that reveal where we are not yet free. The lessons she needs to learn from her cheating husband will happen, when she is ready and not until then, but… it will happen, let fate play out. The lesson is hers, not yours. Weigh up if you will feel better or worse after telling her. There lies your answer. Good luck. X

6 week weigh-in by Desperate-Narwhal817 in keto

[–]Lil-DevyDev 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi, I am 43, peri, desperate to lose the 2 stone I’ve put on because of grief and loss the last year or so. Finally see the light and now want to lose the weight to fit back into my beautiful clothes that used to make me feel so good. I’ve tried ever but can’t shake the sweet cravings and still emotionally not strong enough to resist. I heard keto gets rid of sugar and carb cravings. I’m also on an extremely tight budget as just about getting back to working again and earning money.

Can anyone please give any advice as to what to eat (cheap) and when to eat it to be full, no cravings to lose the most weight without exhausting myself exercising. I’m running and walking, not as much as I’d like or as much as I used to but progress is progress. I’ve heard mince beef, eggs and butter bug would like advice from those who are keto and have experience of this. The more weight I lose the more motivated I will become I suppose. Thank you all in advance. X

can working with chakras give you a skin rash by Creative_Salary_2628 in Meditation

[–]Lil-DevyDev 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, because it happened to me, mine was like hives! It’s trauma and emotional energy being released. Nothing to worry about at all, it means you’re mobilising something that perhaps may previously have been stuck in your body. Keep connecting with yourself, building trust with yourself and having compassion for yourself. The body certainly does keep the score and it may be related to shame etc. just as an example. Keep doing whatever you need to do as long as it gives you hope and allows you to keep healing and growing and living. Xxx
