I’m the One Who Never Falls Apart—Until I Did
By Nadeem Shah I’ve always been “the strong one.” You know the type—the person who listens at 2 a.m. when someone needs to vent, who holds space for tears that aren’t their own, who never seems to crack no matter how heavy the storm gets. That was me.

Reiki Training
Two hours are not enough time to teach three levels of Reiki. An overview? Yes. We had 17 participants. I attuned 10 participants for level one and 7 for level two. One Reiki Master had co-workers attending the class, and she gave 7 level one attunements, and was going to give most of them level two and three attunements on the job.

Forgiveness in the Counseling Profession
Forgiveness is the process of, first, acknowledging that you were wronged by someone, whether it was a small, or a more grievous offense, secondly, surrendering the wrong that was committed by the offender, and then thirdly, working toward processing any residual triggers caused from the offense.
