What the session with Shawn did for me goes so far beyond enhancing my
professional performance. I wish you could speak to my husband, the members of
my church, the leader of my writing group...they would all tell you what an
amazing positive change has come over me.
I am ridiculously more productive. Before my session with Shawn, I had trouble
in all of the following areas. My troubles manifested in procrastination, feelings of
guilt, feelings of inadequacy and a sort of action-paralysis that kept me from
beginning tasks due to an overwhelming feeling that even if I did begin, I would
never finish. Some of the areas where these manifestations took hold include,
eating (my relationship to food)
keeping a clean house
working steadily on larger projects such as my novel
beginning, finishing and submitting potential magazine articles
saying no to a potential client when time prohibited me from serving them or
serving them in a timely manner
scheduling myself without setting myself up to fail
remembering my commitments
These aren't even all the areas where I've experienced positive changes. I also used
to restrict myself from watching horror movies as, even at 29 years old, I found
them so disconcerting that I would often lose sleep over them. Now I have the
choice to experience the thrill and then release the emotion and sleep soundly the
same night.
As far as eating goes, I used to use food very much as a drug. when I wanted to
enhance or change my mood I would reach for food. I would often overeat as food
held a strong emotional response and ceasing to eat once I'd latched on to a flavor
caused sadness at the loss of that flavor. then, having feelings of guilt almost no
matter how little or much I'd eaten.
now I eat only when I'm hungry and only until I'm full. There's no sadness about
ceasing to eat and no guilt about eating
On keeping my house clean, I would procrastinate, because I dreaded beginning
whatever task was at hand. Consequently, tasks piled up until they were much
more difficult to manage and, again, I felt guilty about failing to keep a clean house
for my husband.
Now I begin housework as soon as I notice and have time to do so. On the occasion
that I don't have time and a task sits for a while or becomes larger, I still have no
fear about starting it and no guilt about any part of the process. I know that I'm
doing the very best I can with the time I have.
When it comes now to projects like my novel, I KNOW that I will complete them
now. I used to worry that I would never finish them, and while Timeline Therapy
can't do anything to increase the number of available hours in the day ;-) it has
given me the reassurance that I will one day finish these items. It has also
unblocked whatever was holding me back from writing out a schedule and
sticking to it. The only time I've missed sticking to my schedule is when I have
truly given myself too much to do and I'm learning to be better about that as well.
As far as magazine articles go, I wrote and submitted another just this last
Saturday night. Where before I might not have even started writing and certainly
wouldn't have had the guts to send it off to Slate an online publication that I really
admire, that's exactly what I did Saturday night.
The last three items on the list above all kind of run together. I used to feel very
guilty about saying no if someone asked me to commit to a project that I really
didn't have time for (even volunteering!). Now I experience no guilt if I have to say
no to someone for time/sanity reasons. I'm still learning about how much I can
handle, but I no longer worry about saying no or asking for help. Consequently,
I've spent much less time being late, apologizing for circumstances beyond my
control and feeling guilt-ridden. Perspective is a very valuable benefit that I've
gained from this as well.
So I didn't even really get into how Timeline Therapy has finally released all the
sadness and anger over my grandmother's death 17 years ago or how all the little
things I'd had bottled up at my parents over the last 29 years are now resolved, but
this e-mail is already fairly long and I think you're probably beginning to get the
picture.
Shawn's sessions are worth any amount of money, because they give you the
richest, fullest life you can experience. By releasing the negative, you become so
clear-headed, you feel like you're seeing situations and relationships for what they
really are for the first time in your life.
