Comments on: Do You Give Your Power Away? http://www.emotional-times.com/2009/09/do-you-give-your-power-away.html Articles and information on emotions and emotional healing.

You write with such understanding and compassion. I have your Emotional Healing Guide and refer to this often. I subscribe to the widely held belief that even though we are living in such a technologically advanced age yet there is so much more misery and unhappiness that something is definately out of kilter. People don't communicate any more, the very base instinct of a human being is to "belong" and we are all running around like demented rats on a wheel. I'll stop right here before I go into "ramble" mode. You are doing a brilliant job and I for one immensely appreciate it. Kind regards, Petrina Hi Mark, your articles really resonate with me.

What occurred to me as I read this was what I was thinking as I read. I was simultaneously thinking, "Oh but what if Mark can't help?", "What then?" You see, after 25-30 years of trying to piece it all together, I know these words. And yet, I wonder, will you be the person who has the magic "word" that is powerful enough to break through. The only thing that is keeping me from fleeing is the candor in your writing and the fact that you had the courage to acknowledge the bipolar stuff. That and the polar bear.... Hi Mark,

I have been reading as much as your work as I can before we “meet”. What occurred to me as I read this was what I was thinking as I read. I was simultaneously thinking, “Oh but what if Mark can’t help?”, “What then?” You see, after 25-30 years of trying to piece it all together, I know these words. And yet, I wonder, will you be the person who has the magic “word” that is powerful enough to break through. The only thing that is keeping me from fleeing is the candor in your writing and the fact that you had the courage to acknowledge the bipolar stuff. That and the polar bear….

I have to deal with a person who continually gets in my face and pushes me to the wall all the time. He is one of the few people who does this to me and I realized I was afraid of him and as "stupid" as he made me feel. Untill I realized he loves confrontations and was angry that I had received a position over him even though he had more experience in one aspect of this job. Since we donate our time to a spiritual path, I'm assuming everyone is grown up and "nice". But not the case. Then I read this article while researching what do do because I realized I was "giving my power away to this person" and yes, that made me angry at myself. I don't back down from many people and most people consider me "assertive", but since he attacks my intelligence, that's my sticking point. As a child, I was told all the time I was stupid, I didn't realize until my boss told me when iwas 35 he hired me because I was smart! HA, I almost died laughing. Thanks for the insights, Dottie Dear Mark: I just realized what my problem was yesterday. I have to deal with a person who continually gets in my face and pushes me to the wall all the time.
