Expressions and Confessions of a Psychologist

* I am not a machine which can generate motivation 24X7. I have my own share of emotional breakdowns. Please understand that this however does not affect my responsibilities towards my clients because as a part of my training process I do learn how to deal with my professional life without letting my personal life step into its shoes. * I am not Google. I do not have the solutions to your problems and even if I do have an opinion in my mind, I will never impose my thoughts or opinions on you.

It wasn't a murder, it was survival of the fittest. While coming here did she notice the barbed wire where the pink flowers were held hostage? Did she care to understand how they have been pr
Making a conscious choice and calling it a mistake does not justify disloyalty. When you ask for forgiveness, it is a responsibility you willingly take because you regret what you did. You could be forgiven, you could be forgotten or you could be both forgiven and forgotten. The want in you to be given a second chance to set things right is a part of the process. You say you have been trying hard for years and now you are tired of being sorry. Tired of being sorry, really? The apology is not a favour you are doing, it is again a conscious choice you made but the tiredness you claim to have has drained out all the efforts you made to be forgiven. ©songbriti
