Conversation w/ Therapist Jim Beebe LMFT. This is part 1 of a conversation with my therapist Jim Beebe who has been a Therapist and working with people for 38 years.
Jim is the real deal and has so much experience and awesome perspective!
My friend, this is one of those episodes you will want to listen to over and over again, and take notes! And maybe even talk it through with a friend!
Jim digs into some practical ways on how to live well when living in really difficult circumstances or when things about ourselves are driving us bonkers! If we are struggling with acceptance of our lives or any part of ourselves or circumstances we may be facing— we are typically caught in a painful cycle of effort, failure and shame. Judging ourselves and/or shaming ourself or others for the struggles will never bring the healing Jesus wants to bring us.
When we begin to accept our life and our stories, that is when God begins to transform our pain into purpose and not just suffering.
But acceptance can be a process. So let's be patient with ourselves through it all.
Verses mentioned:
2 Corinthians 12:8-9 “Three times I pleaded with the Lord to take it away from me. But he said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.” Therefore I will boast all the more gladly about my weaknesses, so that Christ’s power may rest on me.”
Romans 2:4 “Or do you presume on the riches of his kindness and forbearance and patience, not knowing that God's kindness is meant to lead you to repentance?”
James 1:2 “Consider it pure joy, my brothers and sisters, whenever you face trials of many kinds,”
My husband Gary says about Jim - “Jim has a masterful way of giving practical application not just theoretical philosophy.”
Jim’s quotes from the show:
We live in that silent wish, all the while living a duel citizenship between the world as I want it to be and the world that is.
We are all just trying to learn how to live in our life, well. And find love, joy and peace along the way.
We live this side of the veil, we are human… everybody can tell you that they have challenges in their life.
God game us feelings to teach us.
It’s good to be honest with yourself, about yourself.
Judging ourselves will get you to work hard, but it won’t lead you to healing.
Judging yourself for being yourself, will get you no where.
We all are victimized, we have to fight to not be the victim.
Expectations are premeditated resentments.
