One of the things that my counselor used to do was this:Whenever I would bring up a trigger, a "blast" from the past, and I would say "What if such and such a thing happens?"

She would reply, " But what if it didn't?"

I would get very irritated at that. At the time, it seemed as though she wasn't really listening to me.

But she was. I finally understood that there was an alternative to the story. I did not need to live in fear of what might happen. I needed to give positivity a chance.

To do that I needed to get rid of negative self talk. That is a process that takes time and effort to do.

Just a thought.

Love and light,
