One of the most impactful moments of my life happened when I first met my psychologist.
…
I was in a mess. My entire life was deteriorating around me at a rapid pace. I was in the midst of a divorce. I had been terribly betrayed by my sister. And to make matters worse one of my closest friends died unexpectedly. She was only 32 and left behind 3 children. I was devastated in more ways than one, and desperate for answers.
…
I walked in unassuming and introduced myself to the good Dr. She was attractive, tall and lithe, with straight brown hair. Basically, everything I wasn’t. She proceeded to ask me what brought me to her office. I responded by telling her I was getting divorced and wanted to make sure I was doing the right thing.
…
She looked at me and took a long sigh then said “Well I’m glad you got that out of the way, now tell me why you’re really here”. I began sobbing and told her everything. Not just the divorce…the actual problems in the marriage, my sisters betrayal, and the loss of my friend.
…
At the end of the meeting she gave me an assignment. I was to go home and watch “Queen of the Damned”. Yes, the vampire movie starring the late Aaliyah.
…
I watched intently as this beautiful and powerful immortal feminine force slowly became her own worst enemy and ultimately solely responsible for her downfall.
…
And then I realized: I had created the mess that was my life. As much as I wanted to blame my estranged husband, and my sister for all my present turmoil, it was my fault. Every bit of it. My fault. 🤯
…
And that was the beginning of radically changing my life.
