Elvira, Your assessment of me seems spot on. I'm so afraid to be wrong, to damage my children, to be a bad parent, etc. I've said before that I lack faith in the process and I think all this reflects my lack of faith both in myself and the process. I guess how I was feeling about all this is what I ...

To add to the above post after reflecting more on it, I think I should inquire about how to recognize self-deceiving emotions other than my law of attraction not changing after feeling an emotion? I remember AJ saying something about the effect emotion (feel unloved) is not the causal emotion (I was...

Inside Out by Dr. Larry Crabb?

I feel as though much of my emotional processing has been self-deceiving or unproductive. I have watched the talk about self-deceiving emotions and am beginning to recognize some times when I am simply throwing a tantrum because "my kids are not loving me" and so I'm feeling unloved. This really isn...

I’ve been trying to feel my emotions more lately as suggested in this thread. I’ve tried to talk less about my feelings to my kids for fear I’m making my kids responsible for them. I’m still really struggling with all of this and hope I can get some feedback on these matters. This morning my daughte...

Elvira, I'm glad you were able to gain some insight into your addictions and are working through them. Your response was confronting, though was what I needed to face (i.e., making my daughter responsible for my feelings). I've been working on feeling my emotions instead of trying to correct the beh...

I've been practicing this recently and here is what I'm discovering. First you got to realize what the addiction is and then be aware of when you want to resort to it. In that moment you realize you want it (food, drugs, etc.) feel how much you want it, what fear you have if not going to it, the ang...

Moti, Thanks for the clip it explains things further. Even though I know I should focus more on feeling the feelings that are triggered by my law of attraction events, I have a tendency to intellectualize and to try and solve the mystery of what I'm feeling, where it came from, and what I'm avoiding...

Thanks guys for the feedback and I feel I understand these issues clearer. My concept of the law of attraction is definitely influenced by fear as well as a desire to create a utopian earth, though probably more about my fears of avoiding pain to myself and those closest to me. I will definitely hav...

Anneli, I appreciate your feedback and suggestions. I think I'm afraid to trust that by simply owning my own emotional reactions and working through those causal emotions will be enough to help my children learn to be more loving. It feels like I should be doing something in addition to that outside...
