Mental Illness Diagnosis and Law of Attraction
I have been involved in the world of mental “health” for many years, both as a client and as a coach and teacher. I had suffered a severely traumatic childhood which seriously impaired my ability to function in an emotionally stable manner as an adult. I ran through life for years and decades in a desperate panic trying to make things work for me with a mind full of extreme negative thinking with the resulting emotions and behaviors. The process of seeing psychiatrists and therapists seeking not just change but transformation was a road littered with frustration and resignation.
My own journey through emotional trauma
In my own journey towards a life that is fulfilling I found skills and tools that help me clear the emotional trauma and manage my emotions better and Law of Attraction is one of them. I was lucky to be introduced to the concept much earlier in life because I moved from the Old South to Southern California way back when. A whole new world! Everyone knows they get to try it out first and if it’s good it heads East toward the rest of us. Another reason I was lucky is that I was always open to listening to things that just made sense to me and trusted that the people sharing their experiences were genuine.
That was so exciting for me and yet, because I had suffered from and not healed my intense emotional trauma, I kept going back to the negative emotional places that kept me stuck. The feelings of low self-worth that no trips or any other “thing” I wanted were going to fix. I wanted more than anything to feel like I was a “normal” person who didn’t go down the tubes because of a setback. I wanted a more can do attitude and resilience to help me through the inevitable road blocks and life altering events. I wanted to silence or at least turn down the volume of the emotional trauma induced harsh and crippling critical voice inside my head so I could hear the calling of my soul and authentic self. Could I use the Law of Attraction to achieve this? If I could attract trips, parking spaces and items of desire, could I attract higher self- esteem and a healthier emotional state?
Visualizing a better way - out of emotional trauma
The answer to that is a hearty YES! If I conjure up the picture and attach it to the emotions of feeling calm and empowered, of seeing myself as a person who has released the shackles of the past to break through to a new life. If I can put a positive frame around all of the things that I have believed were devastating to my life and if I know that I can start today, and in this moment, to commit to taking control of my mind, thoughts, feelings and thus behaviors; I can manifest a healthy view of myself, others and my life. A view that puts me in calm knowing that I am safe and happy! As I have learned more through people like Lorane Gordon, and use her work consistently, I am starting to feel a much healthier sense of self-worth. I spend time saying the things I want to believe about myself. I am capable, I am emotionally healthy, I am more than worthy of love. I wallow and marinate and get all wiggly rolling around in the feeling of the “Yaay me, I am fabulous” feeling. Over time, I am starting to notice that the sense of shame and isolation I have felt due to my trauma is melting away to reveal this empowered woman who has so much to give!
