(Tabitha),
> I have the impression that you think you have unique new knowledge that therapists and therapy clients are just too closed-minded to accept. What I hear you saying is that your ideas are just too unfamiliar, too new, too success-oriented for us to take in.
<<< Are you saying I'm a bad person? You are being pretty judgemental in your tone. I'm OK with you being judgemental when appropriate. You sound very concerned for the safety and integrity of the Babble community.
>If that is your thinking, well can you see how you might have a high probability of offending some people? It can sound like 'if you disagree with me, that shows that my ideas are too advanced for you.' It gives the listener a choice between agreeing with you, or being called slow.
<<< You sound very concerned, however, I don't know where I am or where I'm going, so I'm asking for help finding my way. Ever asked for directions? That's me...
<<< All I will ever want is for us all to find a clear path to freedom and happiness.
===Freedom meaning minimize our dysfunction, no longer feeling stuck in our lives.
===Dysfunction meaning a collection or a suite of bad destructive habits messing up our lives.
===Happiness meaning joy with only one voice in our minds, our own, and our internal conflictedness extinguished.<<<I've shared some ideas in the past on how to do it. Can you see and suggest some others?
> It appears to me that you are determined to convince us that life coaching concepts are superior to psychotherapy concepts.
<<< I know Life-Coaching works. I don't make any comparisons that you're claiming I do. I only brought Life-Coaching to Babble because it is an alternative and it is important instead of invisible, and I needed help finding my way with this package of knowledge and powerful skills .
NOTE: I hope no one trys to side step good therapy because Life-Coaching is cheaper or quicker. If its not meant to help YOU, don't try it. Go to good therapy until you no longer need it, then try finishing with good Life-Coaching. These are lifetime skills taught to be used by you on yourself, for the rest of your very valuable life.
> I wonder what you are needing from us.
<<< Thank you for being concerned about what I might need. I need answers, and help with my communication skills, and my timing. Can you think of some suggestions?
