Two Inner Truths: When What We Think and What We Feel Don’t Match.
Many people come to therapy knowing, logically, that things are “fine.” They can explain what happened, why it’s over, and why it shouldn’t still affect them. And yet, something inside doesn’t settle.
This is often the meeting point of two inner truths: the mind’s clear, rational understanding of the present, and the body’s quieter, felt sense shaped by past experience. Therapy is not about choosing one truth over the other, but about helping them come back into relationship—so that what we know and what we feel no longer pull us in different directions.
Father Christmas had you hypnotised, here’s how.
According to folklore, Father Christmas is a plump old man who can work magic. And yet, incredibly, clever kids the world over believe in Santa with all their hearts, why?
Although this as a bit of festive fun, the important point is perhaps obvious, it’s not just Father Christmas that we come to belief at an early age, its all the other stuff we inherit in those formative years, some of which can be severely life-limiting.
