“It’s Just That, We Care About You…”

Posted: July 11, 2010 Under: Freedom & Wholeness By Carla Dippel 27 Comments

I’ve been thinking a lot about a one of the last comments made on my post “Groomed to Doubt Through Spiritual Abuse.” The writer said in a nutshell that the people who voiced strong disagreement with my posts were people from my real life who really just cared about me. Words like this can be … Continue reading "“It’s Just That, We Care About You…”"

Cutting Ropes and Sailing Free

Posted: June 14, 2010 Under: Depression By Carla Dippel 11 Comments

I’ve been working my way through a depression over the last few weeks. Maybe “underneath” is a better word… Sometimes the journey to freedom feels easy and the truth is crystal clear. Risks don’t feel so risky. There is a strong pull forward. It somehow feels simple to make decisions based on what I know is true. … Continue reading "Cutting Ropes and Sailing Free"

A Mother Daughter Relationship ~ Part Four

Posted: May 31, 2010 Under: Mother Daughter By Carla Dippel 7 Comments

~By Debbie Dippel~ In my first post I mentioned that I didn’t want Carla to struggle with the same fears that I did.  As a child I had many fears that I kept hidden inside and carried these into my adulthood.  I won’t list them here but will focus on the one that I believe … Continue reading "A Mother Daughter Relationship ~ Part Four"

A Mother Daughter Relationship ~ Part Three

Posted: May 29, 2010 Under: Mother Daughter By Carla Dippel 11 Comments

~By Carla Dippel~ How I had been devalued, the root causes of my struggle with depression and anxiety, was hard to see for the longest time. It was like trying to see through a window with shimmery curtains waving back and forth. There were good things in my childhood too. Those things would wisp across … Continue reading "A Mother Daughter Relationship ~ Part Three"

Pain in the Process of Recovery

Posted: May 11, 2010 Under: Freedom & Wholeness By Carla Dippel 18 Comments

“And a woman spoke, saying, ‘Tell us of Pain.’ And he said: Your pain is the breaking of the shell that encloses your understanding.

What I Needed to Know

Posted: May 01, 2010 Under: Self Esteem By Carla Dippel 3 Comments

What was it that I needed to know? What was the “it” that I had been seeking for, hungering for, all those years? What was it that I was born desiring, born fully open to and able to receive but left wanting?   Deep inside me, every second of every day of my life, there … Continue reading "What I Needed to Know"

How a “Leeching” Belief System Creates Havoc

Posted: April 17, 2010 Under: Father Daughter By Carla Dippel 15 Comments

  A belief system that says, “I am a nobody, I can’t do anything right, I’m just stupid” wreaks havoc in a few different ways. I believe we were born with an unconscious sense of our own value; deep down, in each of us, there “dwells a beauty”, a person who is loved and can … Continue reading "How a “Leeching” Belief System Creates Havoc"

Valued Because…

Posted: March 28, 2010 Under: Family By Carla Dippel 8 Comments

We are born valuable but vulnerable. We have this inherent sense of value for ourselves. As babies, when we were in pain, we cried. When we were hungry, we cried. When we were uncomfortable, we cried. We cried because there was no thought or experience that disconnected us from the truth of our value. We … Continue reading "Valued Because…"

(Part Two from my post The Guilty Way) Imagine that as you journey along, a destination, a place you would like to be, flashes like a picture into your mind. You can see it.
