Greetings and salutations!!! Lately I've been having these recurring dreams. They all involve me trying to get into some kind of car, or the driver not being able to take me to where I need to go. So, after the THIRD dream where this theme occured, I decided to talk to her about it. It... Continue Reading →
Tales From The Couch: Part 9
Greetings and salutations!! Momentous week from the couch last week. I learned...it's ok not to feel guilty and it's ok to concentrate on the positive steps I've taken in moving forward. I know, it sounds very un-momentous when I type it, but hear me out. For the longest time, I've felt guilt over how I... Continue Reading →
Delayed Reactions
As it's Pride Month...heyyyyyyyyyyy. LOL. So as most of you know, I got a response from SK, and have written a response in reply--which I haven't sent yet. I wasn't sure what the point or the purpose was, and I like to have time for feelings and emotions to settle--kind of like a casserole--everything melds... Continue Reading →
Tales from the couch: Part 8
Hey, hey!!! Greetings and salutations! Sorry for the delay! I'd love to say that there was a deep and meaningful, angst filled session, but alas, that isn't the case. This session was foundational/exploratory. We talked about my childhood, my experiences, facets of my life growing up which I presume will be used to help me... Continue Reading →
Grace And Fear
Greetings and salutations!!! Well, let's get down to brass tacks. I promised that I'd write about the e-mail that I took forever to read from SK. So here goes. But first a bit of background. I think we imprint the behaviour we are guilty of onto others. Partially as a defence mechanism, and partially because... Continue Reading →
Tales From the Couch: Part 7
Greetings and salutations! Another difficult session with a lot of uncomfortable truths and theories that I need to confront and dive into. It's hard to know where to begin, so I'll choose a spot and let it flow organically from there. Fear. I think that's a huge thing with me. Fear of getting hurt, fear... Continue Reading →
It’s Over. AGAIN.
Greetings and salutations!! I'm such a hot mess of contradictions today and was the same yesterday. Emotions and feelings all running rampant, and logic and passion trying to keep everything in check. UGH. It's exhausting UGH. That's how I feel, and I'm sticking with it. So, if you've read through my blog, you will be... Continue Reading →
Tales From the Couch: Part 6- Unwelcome insights
Greetings and salutations. Another difficult session, but with more insights that I'm going to have to take in order to get better. So, we talked about the angry letter that I wrote, and my disconnect between the tone and how I felt about SK, and why I was having difficulty seeing it! My therapist asked... Continue Reading →
The Black Barbershop
Greetings and salutations!! Today ,I'm going to talk about the complex relationship that a black man has with the black barbershop. First things first. I think I had a pic up for this blog. I wish to confirm that I am black. Or, if you want to be PC about it, Afro-Canadian. I prefer to... Continue Reading →
Rage!!
Greetings and salutations! It's been a while since I've blogged. I've been thinking. Rage, anger, etc. It is a required and necessary emotion, and yet, if taken too far, can cause a lot of damage to oneself and personal relationships with loved ones, family, etc. The reason I'm writing this is not because I have...
