Brielle Eden, Body-Oriented Psychotherapist NYC

*FROM VICTIMHOOD TO VICTORY* Claiming and vividly expressing your anger/hate/rage about being mistreated, neglected, betrayed, abandoned, abused, unloved growing up... With no fear, guilt or self-doubt disrupting the feeling... Unblocks your life-force and opens your heart to YOU... Channelled safely and theraputically, your healing anger dispels the shrinking of your spirit from the abuse, restores self-respect at a primal level and grants you the security and confidence th...at you'll be able to assert your boundaries and defend yourself in future relationships... Your sacred, self-loving anger is your "guardian angel with a flaming sword"... It's your adult self at long last standing up for your Inner Child... And it's the most important part of moving from victimhood to victory in both your inner and outer world See more

"Forgiveness" isn't emotionally healthy, unless it happens as a totally spontaneous, not "chosen", softening of your heart! And forgiveness should NOT be the goal of your emotional healing process. Working all your feelings thru, layer by layer until all the pain is gone, is the true, self-loving path! When you do this, rather than aiming for "forgiveness", you suppress nothing and therefore end up emotionally alive, at peace and free inside. With or without "forgiving".... But if you willfully impose a "choice to forgive" over your body-heart-feelings-real self, you end up deadened and suppressed. Your unworked thru feelings remain right where you abandoned them... Buried in your body and subconscious mind See more

OUR CHILDREN ARE THE MOST OPPRESSED GROUP IN THE WORLD DEAR FRIENDS- Our children are by far THE most oppressed group of human beings in the world. And since we were all children once, we are all brothers and sisters in this soul wounding and its tragic aftermath.... And yet there is no organized, planet wide movement on behalf of childrens' liberation from adult/parental mistreatment and oppression. Adults in general, and parents in particular, feel and are legally entitled to physically and verbally assault helpless children. With no self-awareness and no prevention, they act out their emotional problems on their kids and thereby routinely scar their vulnerable spirits for life. The overall emotional numbness of our species about the suffering of children is so pervasive that they are still being used as soldiers, slaves and sexual objects. The result is that every human being, for millenia, has been burdened with guilt, shame, self-doubt and fear that they WEREN'T BORN WITH. And yet we were all born capable of lifelong happiness, love and joy! This near universal inner pain, and the buried rage of being subjected to it, is the primal source of all the chronic violence of our species. The diminished empathy and compassion for our own children, and the fear and rage stored up in everyone's bodies due to mistreatment growing up, is the root cause of the cruelties we cannot seem to end. Everything from the emotional pain we routinely wreak upon ourselves and one another, to injustice of all kinds, to domestic violence to war. HUMANITY HAS LOST ITS HEART. How? By the way it allows, and even encourages, its children to be mistreated. It’s time for a revolution of love on behalf of our children. The greatest spiritual revolution of all time. It’s time to outlaw physical violence in any form toward our children. It’s time for mandatory childrearing education and psychotherapy requirements for prospective parents, resulting in certification, paid for by society. Because the right of helpless human beings to be free from mistreatment, and to be met with the love and understanding they require to flourish, FAR outweighs any right an adult has to procreate. If love is our guiding star and salvation, how could it be otherwise? Literally, this sweeping cultural awakening is the ONLY thing that can permanently change the world. Imagine it, believe in it, take whatever action you can to speed the blessed day. Beginning with bravely healing the damage that was done to you, and spreading the kindness you develop toward yourself to others. And someday we will all be united in the healed heart of love. Because we have set our children free! LOTS OF LOVE- BRIELLE
