Facing and Defeating Your Traumatic Emotional Dragons

I became aware of this process (of repression) in myself when I began to write my Story of Origins – (See NTS eBook No.2).  It took me a long time to ‘fish up’ some key memories, with bruised emotions attached. And to use those clues to build plausible stories of surrounding events and ‘realities’.

In moving on to write my novel about the life of Daniel O’Beeve – which is a heavily fictionalized autobiographical novel – I discovered the mechanism of ‘repression’ of painful emotional trauma, when I was describing Daniel, at the age of 19 years, being rejected by the girl he loved.

Renata's Lifestyle Coaching Blog: In this blog I want to explain why exercise can be really helpful for us, and describe how it can be very good as a way of reducing anxiety and stress. (Counselling tends to emphasize the ‘talking cure’ as the solution to everything – but we are body-minds, and we have to attend to our body as well as our inner-dialogue).

Counselling in Hebden Bridge with Dr Jim Byrne

Do you know what counselling could do for you?

Advancing years are increasingly seen as a descending path into illness, passivity, and disconnection from others. This view is a partial, inaccurate and very negative picture of what getting older means. It is also a self-fulfilling prophecy.

Discrimination against people because of their age is also growing: and older people are often squeezed out of the labour market just because of their age.

Part 2, How to Build a Successful Marriage or Sex-Love Relationship

Counsellors and psychotherapists devote their lives to caring for the minds of their clients – the lives of their clients. They wrestle with difficult situations, challenging goals, and with dysregulated emotions (like grief and loss, anger and panic, relationship conflict, and mental confusion).
