When trauma enters the lives of the unsuspecting, it steals from their very soul. It not only robs them of peace and joy, it can take years and decades from their lives while they desperately try to fill the hole in their heart, pretending that their soul isn't leaking out of it. No one is ever prepared for trauma, and no one is ever left unchanged by traumatic events.

Millions of us suffer needlessly from panic. We know something is wrong, but we usually think the problem is us: Am I dying? Going crazy? Am I weak? Happily, none of these thoughts are true.

Oder wenn die Mutter ihren erwachsenen Sohn behandelt, als wäre er ein Kleinkind.

"Ich bin nicht gut genug." "Ich bin unwichtig." "Ich muss funktionieren." Wir glauben den Stimmen in unseren Köpfen und machen uns abhängig von diesen verinnerlichten Annahmen über uns selbst. Glaubenssätze beeinflussen, was wir uns zutrauen im Leben, was wir glauben, (nicht) zu können oder tun zu müssen. In zehn packenden Erzählungen aus der Therapiestunde gibt Psychotherapeutin Nesibe Özdemir Einblicke in das, was Menschen über sich glauben. Sie zeigt, wie es Menschen verändert, wenn sie ihre tief verankerten Überzeugungen erkennen und hinterfragen.

Sis. Boo. Hun. Babe. Fave. Bestie.

There are so many things in life that we have to dissect, but true friendship shouldn’t be one of them. When we cross that fine line between friendship and sisterhood, we should be able cherish that bond and trust that our sister is truly our keeper. Unfortunately, that isn’t always the case, and all it takes is one wrong turn to derail the beauty of true sisterhood. Not anymore. ...

You just ate a cookie. Oops. You might as well eat the whole box now, right? Your day is ruined anyways. Sometimes our brains make up stories for us and we end up doing things that we don’t want to do. Just like you can take a horse to water, but you can’t make him drink, all the tips in the world will be useless, unless you decide to do something with them. Your brain needs to be on board. How do you trick yourself into showing up to a workout? What should you order in a restaurant? Should you eat before a workout? How do you prepare to eat optimally all week? These and many more ...

“Suck it up.”Those words empowered and encouraged me as a boy. They injured me as a man. When we talk about pain, we first think of physical pain from injury or accident. There is a masculine, internal block on the notion of our emotions or feelings being hurt. How could they be, we’re men after all! That was my stubborn mindset for years until I realized that my unresolved pain had devastated most of my adult life and held a lasting effect on me. Once I dropped the macho facade, God showed me how to get free from the stranglehold of what living a life of hurt and hate had caused. I ...

This is largely because the construct of race resides not only in our minds, but principally in the body. In order to have productive conversations about race and racism, a paradigm shift is needed—one which will empower us to remain present and embodied, rather than constricted with fear, regardless of our racial identities.
