Shame and guilt, anger and frustration, “less than,” low self esteem, low self confidence, “never can be good enough” are emotional roadblocks women and men experience when thoughts of accepting a higher level of clinical care are shared. These types of emotional, mood and mental health disorders lead to distorted thinking and allow poor choices to govern their lives. Living with the emotions, choices and experiences becomes overwhelmingly impossible. Some feel that they just do not know how to live, thereby creating a totally hopeless feeling and leaving them emotionally paralyzed but not knowing that is what has happened. Trying to cope with any of these issues can cause a person to use one or a combination of emotional escape tools, such as alcohol dependency, substance abuse, shopping, co-dependent relationships, isolation, anger, or emotional eating, all of which may allow you to survive for a while but they do not teach you to cope effectively with living. Ms & Mr Little Ones believes personal emotional growth is a process to gain better coping skills, living skills and regulated thinking. To own who you are. To own the person who somehow was lost.
