    Find Some Beauty - Strawberry Moon Solstice Tonight Last Seen 1967

    Last night was incredible! I went for a walk as the moon came up. There's a quiet little wooded path in my neighborhood. It's next to a stream and small pond. I watched the moon through the trees and meditated. I went home and held a ritual circle. I put out for comfort and healing for...

    You Know You Have PTSD When...

    @Cashew I'm not sure when it becomes exploitation. It does at some point. I think most of us have wanted someone to give us the "magic pill" to solve our problems or even fix them for us. Especially when it's so confusing, painful, and overwhelming. I don't think it's exploitation to feel...

    @Dergrosse Do some reading on various paths. There's not a right one. There's a right one for you. My path is influenced by several different spiritualities. But, it makes sense to me and feels spiritually right. I feel connected. Scott Cunningham has a couple of good books about Wicca...

    Attachment To Your Therapist: What Is It, Really?

    Is it abandonment if you're ready to leave though? I think the more the therapy is successful the less we need the therapist over time. It is re-parenting in that way. We the baby bird is ready to fly- find the skies. It's trickier if the therapist is no longer available for health, family...

    Should I Mention This To My Therapist?

    Embarrassment is a normal thing when discussing this type of thing. That's a sad commentary on society where women are shamed to have a period. It's massive vulnerability. You're afraid he's going to judge so you're shamed and feeling vulnerable. Totally understandable. Sometimes, we just...

    Your Thoughts On Grieving

    Grieving is definitely not selfish. IMO, it's a way of honoring the person who passed. Although part of the grief is for what we lost, the person was a part of our life as much that we miss the loss. If that makes sense. I feel grief in my guts. It's like a numb ball of pressure. It's...

    Poll Do You Re-create Your Trauma?

    @lostforgottensoul Pan sexual is someone who is also attracted to people who are gender fluid, are transgender, adrogenous as well as gay or lesbian. Basically, someone who is pan sexual really doesn't care about the gender identity of others so long as they are attracted to them. Hope that helps.

    "make The Choice To Move Past It"

    It depends on how you move beyond it. Many people can stuff it into a "box" and move forward. It may even seem they have put it away. I found the hard way that can be a huge form of avoidance. It still sits there, simmering. Often it explodes later- there's some sort of trigger. I didn't...

    Earth-centered Spirituality: Pagan, Wiccan, Druid, Native American, Other

    @SheilaKathy There are different ways to connect to the earth. Can you have a garden? Or potted plants? You can also collect crystals or gems. When I lived in a city, it was hard for me to find quiet spaces in nature. I had a lot of plants in my house.
