Empowerment Call, DAY 3

by Jim on August 3, 2013

STEP  3 We make the decision to listen to and come from our authentic selves, and trust in the healing power of the truth. Here,  the idea is that the Authentic Self is beneath all the disturbance in our heads, and in our hearts, and is at what is the “core” or “authentic self.”  The […]

Empowerment Call, DAY 2

by Jim on August 2, 2013

Step 2 We come to believe that a Power greater than ourselves could awakens the healing wisdom within us when we open ourselves to that power. We come to realize that we come from a beneficent power greater than ourselves, that power is within us. If we look INSIDE rather than OUTSIDE, And only ask, […]

Empowerment Call, DAY 1

by Jim on August 1, 2013

DAY ONE Step 1: We affirm that we have the power to take charge of our lives [and stop the out of control behaviors] and stop being dependent on sex, substance, or people for our self esteem and security that up till now, have made our lives unmanageable. Another way to state the first step is this: We admit […]

Empowerment Call Test Post 3

by Jim on June 24, 2013

One of the things that has stopped me from starting my Empowerment Call Conference Call, is that I’ve needed to make ABSOLUTELY sure that the blog for the conference call itself  if private, and no one except those on the Empowerment Call itself are able to blog or respond to the main blog. While the […]

I just got done doing a interview show with the founder/president of Speaker Services, where I have promoted my business of therapy and coaching and speaking.  No sooner did I get off the “set” that I saw a text of encouragement from someone on my phone. That got me to thinking about how absolutely vital […]

Empowerment Call TEST POST 2

by Jim on April 23, 2013

Okay, I’m testing this again. I tested the actually conference call, and it appeared to work. I need further testing of the call itself. Another thing that I need to test is the idea of someone signing up and seeing the blog.  I need to make sure that everything is private so that when anyone […]

A Latin YouTube Video About HIV

by Jim on April 16, 2013

I found this video series just last week, and I’ve watched all four parts. I was moved enough by its message to want to share it with you. I’m only posting the first video (maybe I’ll post more), but I am recommending all  all four videos. To be clear, I do not endorse, nor recommend […]

Exercise and the Therapist…

by Jim on March 30, 2013

### This blog is about a therapist–a person–who is going to, at least this blog, share about himself and his journey back into exercise. Exercise can be scary for some, not at all interesting for others, and there’s “nothing but exercise” for the die hard exercisers out there. For me, and this was back in […]

### The term “Coming Out” generally refers to men and women who are in the process of openly sharing, for the first time, that they like, as in they romantically or sexually like, other men, or like other women, or both. I’m not going to be talking about whether or not “bisexual” is an orientation […]
