Why She Feels Fat by Johanna Marie McShane

the right kind of control

Wow, good things from you guys on this control issue. It's a hard one isn't it...

is it normal to want control?

It's definitely normal to want control.

misplaced control

It seems so simple: life is variable and bigger than we are, so what can we control?

different areas of trust

Laura, you so answered your own question when you said that although you've learned to trust many things, you still don't trust your body much.

everyday courage in practice

Wow, Ann, there's some everyday courage for you!!! Good job in contacting a therapist. And now, you'll get to meet the person and decide if it's a good match and (if it is), how he/she can help you at this stage of your work and life. Keep up the good work :)

walking the walk

It's so much easier to say we're going to do something than to actually do it. Gee... what a statement of the obvious that is, huh!

layers of trust

Oh, trust... it can just be hard can't it? (Ok, that's rhetorical.. I know it can be very hard).

what is it about transitions?

You know how we have that saying about Life equals Change? And the one about Variety equals Change?

we all have things

"If we're really honest we all have things we struggle with." This very true statement comes to us from Wendy.

everyday courage

I've been thinking about courage. Not the kind of courage we are used to thinking about, you know, the being brave enough to pull someone out of a burning house (although, I have to say, is an amazing kind of courage!).
