Welcome to the place of wisdom

How do distinguish?

I came across Jeffrey Young’s book, and it felt like someone was finally speaking about the psyche without fog or mystification. He very practically (!) describes 18 schemas, stable internal conditioning patterns that grow out of early relational experiences, emotional deprivation, shame, unpredictability, pressure, or emptiness. You can spend years in therapy, practice awareness, build insight, and then suddenly one button gets pressed and you are right back in the familiar script. Your body reacts.

Right now I am not writing as a guru and definitely not as a woman who has everything figured out... I am writing as a woman who has finally stopped running.

These energies rarely move in a single dramatic moment. They unfold through a process, through small but steady shifts that gather momentum over time. The wheel has already turned toward movement and participation, and what you are choosing now is quietly setting the tone for your entire year. You may THINK that you are not making a choice at all. Yet even this is a choice, this hesitation shapes direction. Even silence creates a trajectory. When we step out of conscious authorship, life still moves us forward, only now without our hands on the sail.
