It's true that life sucks at times and we experience huge amounts of crap, sometimes all at the same time. But when we can change the emotional blueprint that somehow we can't cope, or that we personally deserve it, you will find a greater capacity to deal with it when needed, and let it go when you don't.

The 'emotional' backpack is a metaphor I use in therapy with clients... I thought mine was empty but turns out there are hidden compartments?! Maybe you will relate to this...

I was 13 in 1990, so my formative years were influenced by the so called 'magical' decade before it all changed...but was it really that magical?
