Transformational Teachings from Counselor Jane Ilene Cohen

The reason you see only those two choices is because the ground you are standing on is limited and structured by limiting decisions that filter in only the information that supports the limiting decisions, and not anything that doesn’t.

“…there’s a decision inside that you don’t have what you need, or a decision, in some form that boils down to that life is not meant to work. That’s what needs to be changed.”

“…It’s called mid-life crisis when a person realizes that this whole construct they’ve devoted their life to is meaningless, and has nothing to do with reality….”

“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…”

“When there’s a power-struggle, each person in the struggle is trying to control what the other person perceives of as reality, based on a construct that person has formed, to protect their emotional defense system.”
