What is Tragedy?

August 30, 2018 By Daniel Davis, LMFT 2 Comments

Whether it is a fire, tsunami, or a school shooting, tragedy can come in many forms.  A tragedy can be very disruptive both in our relationships and work as well as inside of us – in our thoughts, feelings, and behavior.

We can lose our home in a fire.  The many complications of losing a home can create great hardship.  We may have no safe place to sleep.  We may have lost someone we love dearly to fire. 

These complications of our life can be magnified by our internal reactions.  We may lose sleep. Our attention may wander.  Memories may flood our mind suddenly.  We may react angrily for little reason. 

Please watch this video by Janet Childs from the Center for Living with Dying about tragedy:

The Self

January 10, 2017 By Daniel Davis, LMFT Leave a Comment

“It is not the end of the world,” my dad would say. Often, the crises we perceive as so ominous are not the end of our life as we know it. Sometimes an event, such as disease, divorce, or death can deliver a blow so severe that our life changes. Life can then seem meaningless.

Yet amidst this devastation, we may find something of value. Carl Jung said, “There is nothing so bad that some good can’t come of it.”

That which breaks our hearts, makes it larger. In this breaking, we may find a mysterious wholeness or – in other words – The Self.

The Self is the whole or total personality. A whole personality embraces the unconscious part of our mind which includes our spiritual center. A connection between our self awareness (also called “ego”) and this spiritual (psychic) center is of vital importance for our health and well-being, asserts John Sanford.

Please watch this video by Manuel Costa about the Self and living with a sense of purpose:
