Your parents care for you more than anyone else

My mom is brave and beautiful, and I love her a lot. She is doing pretty good nowadays. Seeing me succeed has been her personal achievement. For her – anxiety is non-existential, and therapy is completely foreign. Yet, She helped me fight it by forcing me to wake up early, exercise, and meditate. I owe her a lot. Seeing her heal, seeing her happy, helps me too. She is my strength.

When students come to see me who are feeling so frustrated with people and situations beyond their control, I ask them to take a deep breath and explain how they are feeling

I also see myself getting very angry lately. And that is the hardest part for me. I can see and read too much about what other people are doing and I feel frustrated, hurt and honestly jealous sometimes. But then I remind myself that I need to take a deep breath and practice a little more empathy. It’s what I wish those people would do for us so I will choose to do it for them. Does that mean I agree with what some other people are choosing right now? No. But it does mean I will actively try to put myself in their shoes and let go of taking things so personally.
