I’m the One Who Never Falls Apart—Until I Did
By Nadeem Shah I’ve always been “the strong one.” You know the type—the person who listens at 2 a.m. when someone needs to vent, who holds space for tears that aren’t their own, who never seems to crack no matter how heavy the storm gets. That was me.

Reiki Training
Two hours are not enough time to teach three levels of Reiki. An overview? Yes. We had 17 participants. I attuned 10 participants for level one and 7 for level two. One Reiki Master had co-workers attending the class, and she gave 7 level one attunements, and was going to give most of them level two and three attunements on the job.

The Soul Doesn’t Need a Map.
“I can’t change the direction of the wind, but I can adjust my sails to always reach my destination.” - Jimmy Dean Good Morning! A pretty cold and grey one at that. As I half-expected, I lay awake at 4am this morning, contemplating life… my life, and all the little bits in between. Though there are many days when those early morning hours catch up with me later, I actually really enjoy that time. It feels a bit like a weekend, because I get to stay in bed completely guilt-free (I mean, who gets up at that hour? Oh wait… ME! Yesterday, lol). But no, seriously… that’s what it feels like.

The Silence Between Us
By Nadeem Shah It had been 472 days since we last spoke. Not that I was counting—at least, not anymore. In the beginning, I counted everything. The days since the argument. The hours since I thought about calling. The number of messages I typed and never sent. The seconds I stood outside your door that one night… and turned away.

Forgiveness in the Counseling Profession
Forgiveness is the process of, first, acknowledging that you were wronged by someone, whether it was a small, or a more grievous offense, secondly, surrendering the wrong that was committed by the offender, and then thirdly, working toward processing any residual triggers caused from the offense. Depending on the individual and situation, sometimes forgiveness can occur instantaneously or sometimes it can be a lifelong process. Jesus emulates forgiveness perfectly for humanity based on people’s need for forgiveness from their sin committed against a perfect and holy Creator. Forgiveness leads to holistic freedom: spiritually, mentally, emotionally, and also, physically, regardless of a person’s level of proclivity toward Christianity or not.

Dr. Robyn Trippany Simmons, the second author of this chapter, works as a therapist supervisor.

Ask Why. Show How. Tell Do.
It started with a single conversation—one that left me both humbled and inspired. I was giving instructions to a junior colleague at work, explaining how to handle a client presentation. I spoke quickly, gave her a checklist, and moved on. Hours later, she approached me with a hesitant look and said:

Once A Child . Content Warning.
From the moment we open our eyes—crying in a cold, sterile hospital— the conditions of love begin to blossom. Living and growing in our mother’s bellies only holds a safe place for nearly a year before we were quite literally ejected into chaos we didn’t ask for. From that point on there are conditions to the amount of love and respect we receive. From birth when we are “good babies” in the nursery, the nurses praise us for our cooperation, whereas fussy babies, while still looked at as precious cute creations, are deemed more difficult. Though this example is rather vague and lacks depth into the true meaning of conditional love, it is a pivotal reminder of how we enter and leave this world. Alone.

When Love Isn't Enough: A Story of Trust, Betrayal, and Letting Go
Four years. That's how long I thought I knew what love looked like. Four years with Jessie, a woman who took my breath away the first time I saw her. She had this way of lighting up a room, and when she smiled at me, I felt like I could conquer the world.
