Guest guest Posted December 8, 2002 Report Share Posted December 8, 2002 I've been told that I was a very active happy child but at some point I became much more serious , even in my childhood, and I've held much anger for years. I'm 30 now. I am everso frusterated with the fact that I have difficulty finding a smile even in moments when I'd like to generate a friendly or happy state. It won't come naturally. Is there anyone in the Los Angeles area that would be able to help me/heal me? I've tried anti-depressants, which tempers the anger, but I feel that there is something very deep at work here. Any guidance would be most appreciated. I really want to create a happy interior/exterior. Peace Ari Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted December 11, 2002 Report Share Posted December 11, 2002 Dear Ari, I understand how it feels. I worked very hard to recover my joy and what a pleasure it is to have it back! I think one key to living in a happy state is to always tell the absolute truth. There is a principle that says that telling the truth always eventually leads to joy, for both the teller and the hearer (and that's why some people don't tell the truth: They're afraid of feeling joy). If you're truth is anger it might mean finding a safe place to express this anger in a non-attacking, non-destructive way in order to release this frequency from your body. Emotional healing can be very like natural physical healing: The process can involve retracement or the revisiting of old unpleasant symptoms in the reverse order they originally occured. This is also called emotional detox and its helpful to have guidance and support while you're cleansing so it doesn't overwhelm you and scare you into stopping the healing process. I can recommend a good book, " The Power of Now " by Eckhart Tolle. It is a clear and beautiful description of the practice of living in the present moment and the power and joy that brings. It takes conscious practice to stay for any length of time in that centered place. But its very worth the effort. Good fortune in your healing journey...

Guest guest Posted December 20, 2002 Report Share Posted December 20, 2002 Several years ago a therapist friens stated that I was a very angry person. I laughed. nOT me! hE OFFERED TO HELP ME, AND we spent many hours together .. We both learned alot from each other. Great brain storming. Then he stopped and said, " " Damn it Rose, I have spent how many hours with you, and I can't find where that anger comes from. 'JUST WHO'S ANGER' --are you carrying anyway? " THAT stopped me cold! He said more, but I had to back him up to re-hear that comment. I quickly asked if it were anger at my mom. NO. Then at another, NO! Then it hit me. I was holding the anger of a man who was like a father to me. He hated a woman who lived with him. He couldn't get her out of his house, and could not get rid of her. He eventually became a manic depressive (he held all of this in) and she later burned the house down, blamming it on him. This sent him to he mental health hospital. I truely believe that she later killed him. Obviously I was carring on his anger at her! On realizing this, the tears just ran down my face, an immediate release of what I did not recognize as an issue. Go over yopur own life and see IF you are also holding on to someone else's issues. That therapist was alarmed at my own release. We both felt better. Rose Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
