               YOU ARE ALWAYS MAKING IMPRESSIONS

So I really love being one of Carol Look's coaches for her very popular Abundance Coaching Program. I have had coaching clients from all over the world! I think Carol does a wonderful job matching coach to client, but once in a while, and not very often, a person will for one reason or another, request a different coach. This just happened to me last week. I must admit, I did not see it coming, because I felt we were on the right track. Apparently she did not agree. I guess I did not impress her in the right way. And it does not feel good at all. It downright smarts.
 
The very next day, I received an email that I am going to share with you, no names mentioned of course. I will not write the entire email out, as it is rather lengthy, but I will include the parts of it that were significant to me.
 
Let me preface this by telling you that when I worked at MetroWest, I was blessed to be able to do a weekly group in the Partial Hospitalization on EFT and other holistic approaches to health. The group was endorsed by the Partial Psychiatrist herself, and the patients really liked it for the most part.
 
I also want to say that I never bit the hand that fed me, and what I mean to say by that is that I never discouraged them from using their traditional treatments, be it counseling, medications or both. I merely suggested they try the tapping when anxious or upset and see if they could calm themselves down in the moment. It was like having a power tool that would allow them to feel more empowered. Something we can all use, by the way.

And please understand the purpose of the sharing of this email is not to be braggy, or show-offy. It is only to impress upon YOU how your words and actions could be impressing others, even when you don't know it. It also shows you how the Universe can take care of us, when we need it the most. It was uncanny when the email arrived the day after being "fired" by my client.

So here is the gist of the email: I will insert my comments in red.

"Dear Tina,

You may not remember me, but a couple of years ago I was a patient in the Partial Program and I sat in on the group you did about EFT and other aspects of holistic approaches to healing. You said some words that really stuck with me, like
'There is nothing wrong with you'
(What I mean by that is that we are not born defective, or unworthy, or unlovable or incapable. On the contrary we are born just fine. Eventually because of the result of some lousy messages that we perceive as "truth" at a very young age from our significant authority figures, "untruths" gets rooted as "truth" into our subconscious which then takes the program into our adult lives to run the show and create our reality. Think virus in your hard drive)

You also said, 'They all are on their own journey'
(Which is true for every living person on the earth while they are on the earth. So trying to change other people is a waste of your energy. Stay on your journey and let others off the hook, is what I advise. It's challenging enough to be a spirit in a human body. You don't like others telling you how to live your life right? So stop waiting for them to change for you.)

I can tell you, that following a group on medications and their doses and side effects, you were the only one telling us that there was nothing inherently wrong with us.

A few weeks after being discharged I picked up a book by Peter Breggin and shortly after was "delivered" from my wrong ideas about mental illness and quit medication for good. I recently discovered your website and listened to your radio interview on Uncommon Awareness and it was so wonderful to listen to you. And I am so grateful that during my darkest hours, there was at least one voice of sanity...

Though not totally free of depression, I am on the right path, and suffering so much less that in the years leading me to MetroWest. I am healing through spirituality not psychiatry. And I feel a huge calling to help others one day in the way you and Breggin and others help people.  

So I am writing to say a huge thank you for being the one professional I can think of in all those years of suffering who in response to unspeakable suffering by those who wanted to poison me with a cash crop of Pfizer's or Eli Lily's. It has taken me a long time to let go of the hurt of being turned over to psychiatry and being treated in this way, and to forgive its practitioners for what I believe to be their ignorance. (Obviously he has a very strong opinion and is entitled to have it, but I must say that after working in the psychiatric arena for the past 20 years, I have witnessed many people get so  much better because of the system. It can go either way. That's just my humble opinion, but I still believe people need to be introduced to the energy work, and use it in conjunction.)    

Many therapists speak of keeping a gratitude journal and as a depressive, I was very bad at this. But now I can honestly say I have huge gratitude for you, Breggin and the others who are doing the work you are doing, I have to thank you from the bottom of my heart."

I am still touched when I read his email to think that my words planted the seed for what he needed for his own healing. You see that we have so much power to make lasting impressions on others, even when we don't think we are. Your kind words to a stranger could be the one bright spot in their day, and possibly on a day they were really down and out. Words have the power to heal or the power to hurt. Use your words wisely, both to you others as well as to yourself......
