Transformational Teachings from Counselor Jane Ilene Cohen

“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…”

“It then came out that Janet feels she is not respected because she is more emotional than logical. She sees men as logical and women as emotional, so people listen to men more than to women.”

“And as you are standing in the truth of what the situation is and what really needs to be done, the more you will be listened to. And then your job is to help guide your child to be connected to reality and truth as well, so that they, also, can see what needs to be done and so they’re not just being told what to do by a parent authority.”

“With you it’s more of a male-female dynamic. You easily gain mastery in the male arena. You’re good at that. What you are not good at doing is in the female arena, which is being present, being seen, being vulnerable, being gotten to, being related to, being touched, inter-meshing with other people, mixing it up. You’ve been living in a false world with a false self, and having false things that give you false pleasure. In other words, the real things that really matter to you are what you feel deeply sad about, because you don’t think you can possibly have them because of limiting decisions you have made.”
