Transformational Teachings from Counselor Jane Ilene Cohen

“What it keeps turning out that this group is about, is uncovering the masks and defense systems, in order to get to the real self. And the real self is gold, totally gold.”

“If I puncture someone’s defense system, then the real material starts coming out. That’s what happened last time with Jocelyn. It happened previously with Janet. And it’s happening with Aaron. The person relates, hiding behind by his defense system, thinking that he is protected from the painful, limiting decision against himself underneath it.”

“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.”
