Self Esteem

Attachment GirlAttachment GirlAdmin
There's a blog I've been reading for a while that I really like called Monkeytraps. The therapist who writes it has made our search for control his life's work and most of the blog is a discussion between him and his "monkey brain" Bert. He had a post today which I just thought was incredibly powerful and made so clear something that I struggled for years to understand. Thought other people would find it helpful.

Wow. This could be huge. I seem to have been born without self-esteem, but maybe I can actually learn to accept that...!


I know!? Right!? I actually posted a comment on his blog and asked where he was 20 years ago, he could have saved me so much time!! It's something my T worked really hard to teach me and did so by accepting all of me, even the not-so-pretty parts, but to see it juxtaposed with the search for self-esteem was just SO powerful. Glad it hit you the same way it did me. Big Grin

Yes, I've learned about all the benefits of being a Patron Member (Click here if you missed seeing them: Community Psychotherapy Help

Yes, I understand that...

1. I can do a 7 day free trial and my credit card will not be charged until that period is up.

2. I can cancel at any time before then and my card will not be charged.

3. That once my credit card is charged, there is no refund offered.

Have a special coupon?

4. If I'm using a coupon my receipt won't show the discounted amount (It'll show $7.95). However, I understand that it will go through as $2.95 when I am billed after the 7 day trial. (According to the current promotion, this discount applies to the first three months of my membership - and as long as I use the coupon in the checkout.)*

*Please note that after the 3 months, billing will revert to the regular monthly fee.
**The fee posted below is our standard billing fee (ie. using no coupon).

7-Day Free Trial, then $7.95 per Month (plus tax if applicable)
