[QUOTE="BusynMember1, post: 755691, member: 23706"] Hi. It's early morning here. I want you to feel you are being heard. Your feelings and pain matter. I am learning how to embrace the pain and let it go to God, if you believe in God like I do. I am learning good skills that I can utilize in Therapy. I don't know if, within your health system, you can choose your own therapist or not. Pardon my ignorance! If you can find a good therapist, I think they help if they teach skills. In the u.s. many do. It's not just talking these days. If can choose your therapist, I recommend trying one who resonates with you! I find learning tools from my therapist has been invaluable. I also follow people like Ekhart Tolle and am learning to tone down the mean voice in my head (ego) and let my higher self/divine self guide me. I apologize if this sounds Hocus Pocus. It has changed my life so I thought I would share. I no longer constantly worry about my difficult child. I learned better coping skills than worry. Mindfulness and radical acceptance are both great for me. I love the book Radical Happiness by Gina Lake (Amazon). I read a lot and love Gina Lake, Ekhart Tolle and Tara Brach. For a more expanded spiritual approach, read Matt Kahn or listen to him on YouTube. I am starting to see that for me at least the way out of pain is to see the world through a more divine, kinder lens, which anyone can do even if an atheist. It is seeing the world differently, in a different context, through different perspectives. My best two cents is maybe try to focus on every moment and it helps so much if you can turn off the mean girl in your head (ego) that shows you movies of the past and what it thinks you did wrong and scary snippets of the future which, in reality, is a complete unknown. That nasty ego keeps us suffering. We can quiet it or learn to ignore it and live in each moment. No, it isn't easy but I am doing it often,! It is a blessing! I send you prayers and love and hope you find methods to slow down that chatter in your head that projects only bad outcomes of a future that is not here yet. I apologize if this sounded like nonsense. May you all find your way to peace. [/QUOTE]
