Transformational Teachings from Counselor Jane Ilene Cohen

Your emotional response to her may be the catalyst she needs to start addressing this, if the relationship between you is important enough to both of you…

“…Each of you are struggling to be in control of defining reality, as if you need the other person to agree with your reality, and they need you to agree with theirs…”

“Generally what happens (in the model I use), is every time a person makes a limiting decision, they are building up an alternative self…”

“I have a question about healing past traumas. I recently recovered a traumatic memory of being kidnapped and assaulted when I was a teenager. ..’

“…So the issue is really understanding that there is a bottommost positive truth. When you explore things underneath the defense systems, that’s what you find. Most people do not believe that. That’s the problem…”

“…When the illusion of reality that most people live in, that they think is what is really supporting them, when they go past it, it seems to be a really big transition. It is about shifting survival systems.”

“The issue here is whether trying to manipulate truth works better than truth. Following truth takes radical faith in life, in truth, in things working to the best and highest interest for everyone concerned…”

“You’ve gone along with men acting like this before, because you’ve had such a thick defense system. But the defense system is getting shaken up, and is no longer serving you, and therefore you are more present emotionally and vulnerably in a way you haven’t been before…”

“There’s a whole area of communication that you misinterpret in a way that goes against yourself. You’re interpreting things against yourself so rapidly, that it’s hard to catch it in the moment…”

“The universe is filled with resources, but it might not be in the form that you expect it from. It may not be from the person you expect it to come from.”
