Once there is less resistance you can use the full affirmation.

There's no reason anyone needs to know that you see a therapist. If you don't tell people, they won't know right? Depending on your health insurance, a session usually only costs a copy ($20-40) fo…

It doesn't come off as judgmental, I'm looking for honest advice and I appreciate what you said. A lot of people have been recommending therapy anyways so I think I will further consider the idea if I…

Therapist here. No, we don’t do that. Your resistance to therapy is a part of your avoidance. I understand why you wouldn’t want to though. It is so scary to open up and trust. Take your time, do your…

Half of the negative effects is the energy from it. But the other half is our own resistance to it, whether that's subconscious guilt or shame- it also adds to the negative energetic effect.

It is a natural resistance to digusting things. No problem with it.

You are indeed the problem. Not because of how you feel in the relationship, as feelings change over time. You are the problem because I don't see anywhere in this post about communicating with your p…

I don't know if I grasp this. I mean letting go is about letting go of the fear, anxiety, lack related to the desire. Being ok with not having it sounds different, it comes with a little of resistance…

I think a lot of resistance to hearing out complaints is the expectation to lend assistance they feel being placed upon them. They don't intend to help and don't want to wait for it so they hijack the…

Basically one needs to : - Stop resisting --- Being anxious about manifesting SP means an inner resistance towards the possibility of not ever getting with them. That was my weakness. - Stop tryin…

I think that you're right, but I think that a less generous and more correct way to phrase this is that a lot of resistance to hearing out complaints comes from the unconscious desire to maintain a re…

Not really much of any values involved there. I have so much pent up resentment about my social life being on hold for so many years and my mother's utter lack of gratitude, because she is only single…
