Comments on: for rage-babes, flakes and tyrants: get over it http://whitehottruth.com/white-hot/for-rage-babes-flakes-and-tyrants-get-over-it/ Sat, 20 Mar 2010 04:03:07 -0800 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.9.1 hourly 1 By: Daisy http://whitehottruth.com/white-hot/for-rage-babes-flakes-and-tyrants-get-over-it/#comment-2431 Daisy Thu, 06 Aug 2009 06:55:40 +0000 http://whitehottruth.com/?p=5261#comment-2431 LOVE this entire post, as well as the insightful comments! It can be important to understand why we behave as we do, but once we have that knowledge, there is a choice to be made: continue with our behavior or make a conscious decision to make a change. It's the difference between being a victim and being a survivor. There is something to be said for that time when we closely examine our reasons for why we do what we do and even embrace the pain, but then it's time to let it go and be who we want to be, not who we used to be.

It's a fiction. But like anything else, if we make a case for it, it becomes true. The very idea, the very notion that who we are is a function of what has happened in our past, is made up.

The part of your post which resonated the deepest with me is when you say, "It is essential to whole living that you get to the source of your pain and screwed up choices. What happened in your childhood or another life informs patterns in your current reality. But sooner or later, you’ve simply got to get over using yesterday to explain today’s behavior." This bottles the answer for me. As one who has been in intensive, weekly therapy since mid-November 2008, I really understand what it is that you are saying. Although I realize that my "work" in therapy isn't finished, I am feeling ready to move onto another level - perhaps a life coach, perhaps a different therapist who can take me to that next level. It's like a music teacher who teaches her student the basics, but realizes that she has gone as far as she can go, and sends her student onward and upward to another teacher. Perhaps my therapist wouldn't agree with the analogy, but, it works for me. Thank you. :) I am a first-time visitor to your blog, by way of Rebecca Walker's blog.

I (and I suspect this is collective) would love to hear how things are going for you. Please keep us posted on your journey. Lots of great visualizations can assist AND it needs to start with a decision on your part. With gratitude and love, Randi Glad it's helpful Carrie.
