Attraction to Perpetrators
I have witnessed several people being attracted to perpetrators of sexual and physical assaults. Why would you feel attracted to people who perpetrate a crime against you or others? Logically, we should feel repelled by them, but unfortunately, this is not the case. Perpetrators of sexual and physical assaults are themselves wounded and emotionally injured.…

How Trauma and Suffering Change Us
Yesterday, I went rocking climbing and deep water soloing with a group of twenty-something. My time with these friends who have not experienced as many of life’s sufferings/traumas including divorce, death, and illness are very different from my older friends who are experiencing divorce (sometimes for the second time), death of their family members, and…

When Anger turns to Compassion
You know you have reached a different place in your emotional and spiritual growth and transformation when what earlier caused anger, now creates compassion. In my job at my college where I work, I help students, faculty, and staff who have been sexually assaulted, physically assualted in their interpersonal relationships, stalked, discriminated against, and harassed. I…

Empowering the Victim
Throughout my life, many have harmed me including my parents, partners, and coworkers. I gave off victim energy for a long time due to many lifetimes of unresolved trauma.

This is a perfect situation for me to observe those around me in my present life for an extended period of time. As an empath, I can feel others’ emotions, moods, and thoughts, and as an objective observer, I…

Awareness of Drama
As a practitioner of objective observation of my own life and those around me, I have become very aware of those who try to draw me into their drama. Drama is most commonly driven by self loathing, lack of self esteem or worth, lashing out from internal emotional pain, or repeating a learned negative behavior.…

Truth for Healing
I currently am taking a vacation, and have an opportunity to reflect upon the above meme that I saw recently, “Truth is the basis of all healing.” With the recent violent shooting in Orlando, I think it is appropriate to speak about my own healing work. Healing begins within each of us, and this healing…

Letting Go of Toxic People through Forgiveness
Spirituality does not mean to be positive all the time. To be awakened is to be mindful and aware of your life and your current existence. Although I have forgiven many people who hurt and wounded me, it does not mean that they are accepted back into my life. These people were toxic, mentally or…

The Power of Forgiveness
Recently, I forgave someone who wounded me, but who I loved for many lifetimes. The purpose of this forgiveness I understand is that we both made some hurtful mistakes with each other as we were never meant to be together, but we tried. Karma brought us together to help us resolved our past and…
