Why Is It Hard For A Mother-Enmeshed Man To Break Out Of His Mother’s Mirror?
Deep down, a mother-enmeshed man will want to be in tune with and to freely express himself. However, although this is so, he will feel compelled to focus on his mother needs and to behave how she wants him to behave.
Mother-Enmeshed Men: Has A Mother-Enmeshed Man Lost Touch With His Masculinity?
What a man may realise, if he was to take a step back and reflect, is that he is not very balanced. The reason for this is that he may see that he finds it hard to stand his ground and take action.
Know That Everything Is Possible and Let Go!
Everything is Possible Having the belief that everything possible (or at least the belief that which you wish to create is possible). Creating the life, you want to have or at least reaching more of your true potential is where the journey begins.
Mother-Enmeshed Man: Does A Mother-Enmeshed Man Need To Drop His Nice Guy Mask?
If a man is in a position where he focuses on his mother’s needs and neglects most of his own, he is unlikely to have a strong connection with his own feelings. What this comes down to is that he will probably be out of touch with his own body, which is where most of his needs and feelings will be found.
Let’s Sing Along
Ever since I was a small child, I have loved music! My dad had a beautiful bass voice and sang not only in the church choir and the barbershop chorus but also in the car and around home. We always knew he was in the area because we could hear his cheery whistling as he came up the walk or worked in the yard.
Words and Games
Joe South wrote and released a protest song in 1968 called “The Games People Play”. The lyrics identify various forms of interpersonal and social problems that occur between people including intolerance, hated, and irresponsibility. One of the verses points to hypocrisy: Oh, the games people play now Every night and every day now Never meaning what they say now Never saying what they mean So often my therapy clients struggle with similar issues.
Navigating the Journey of Life
One of the things that I was NOT looking forward to during my move to Calgary was driving in the big city. You see, Medicine Hat spoiled me by the fact that I could go pretty well anywhere in ten minutes without facing several lanes of speeding traffic. So, after a couple of days in my new condo I was invited for an evening at the home of my daughter in Okotoks.
Life’s Surprises
When I moved to Medicine Hat twenty-five years ago, I had no idea that I would love this city so much. Over the years, I have been able to build good relationships with wonderful people and build a business. My first two residential purchases ever were made here.
Financial Choices
Lately I have been noticing and studying the many changes in the world of finance. Let’s go back to the beginning of time. I imagine that long before money was used, humans figured out a way to exchange goods and services.
Success and a Mess!
Often clients recommend books that they have enjoyed or learned from. It is interesting when I find myself reading several in a row with a similar theme. This has been the case over the past few weeks.
Are You Like Spiderman?
Most people like superheroes and one of the most popular is Spiderman. This month I have been thinking about the tagline for this cartoon character spiderman that states “With great power comes great responsibility”. What an idea to ponder!
Higher, Faster, Stronger
Think about driving down the highway. You are going the speed limit but all of a sudden, unexpectantly there is a red light right ahead of you. You hit the brakes and think “Wow.
Faith Versus Hope
I am often surprised by the way that people confuse the words faith and hope. They don’t understand that although there is a little overlap in their meanings, they are actually very different in their application and the results that they garner. Let’s examine these two commonly used words.
Finally Spring!
The past few weeks I have taken great joy in the fact that I can open my bedroom window and patio door! There’s nothing like the wonderful breeze that floats into my condo bringing with it the change of seasons. I hear the chirping of baby birds and the sound of boats attempting their first journey on the river.
Making Things Right
Over the years I have worked with many couples and family members who were struggling in their relationships. Unfortunately, they usually did not come for help until their issues were very ingrained and the hurts were deep. Some expressed frustration with the fact that promises had been repeatedly made but these weren’t followed by change.
