I’m a therapist. I invite you to your center. Meet. Yourself. Over, and over again. Your center is always waiting for you and ready to receive you.

It just asks you to drop what you’re holding at the door. Hard right? Life gives us all plenty to carry. PDA children and adults? More than their fair share.

You can’t pass, you can’t enter, if you are holding anything. There is only space for you and everything else must fall away.

Therapy mediates this. But therapy lays the tracks for you to do this. I’ll show you how to lay the tracks so you can get back there. Without me. First you can experience what YOU feel like in your center.

When you enter, you will feel clean and clear. Your mind is quiet. Your focus is open and ready. Will you want to stay and get to know yourself better? Or go back through the doorway to look for what you dropped?

It’s your choice. You get to decide. Go back and pick it up. Then, you are outside your center. Drop it and walk through the door again. Back to you. Any time.

Amazing, yes?

Your center never leaves you so you can always find your way back. The more you practice the trip there and the letting go of what you carry the easier it is to find yourself. Don’t give up. Some people practice this a long time before they believe it. Life and all its hardships can conspire to keep you outside yourself.

But your center is still there.

It invites you to be easy and to drop emotions, demands and things you carry that are not yours or that are not about you. Things you cannot control.

But how can you?

The demand to master is the care of SELF. Because the key to enter and then live from your center is that you may take NOTHING with you. There is nothing there but YOU.

Does this make you selfish? Can a person live a life this way? I invite here only the words that matter as there is nothing I can take here from outside the doorway.

PDA adults and children are guided to their center and rather than fear selfishness one must own that the center is and always will be selfish. Ultimately the creative spark and life force in all of us wants to live and thrive.

How does the PDA person find their center?

Run a track of questions that pull you inside not outside. As much as you feel the need to be focused outside yourself stop instead and go inward.

Ask: What matters, what’s happening here that matters most and what’s the purpose of this. Let the track draw you to your center as the answers force the dropping of everything else you carry so you can walk through the door.

This laying of track can be the organizing force of your external focus so that you can “actualize” what matters the most from your center.

Don’t take a step without your center. Don’t give a focus without your center.

Go back to your place of center if you do not find enough light and ease on your way to actualize. Remember, you must drop everything to get in. Don’t struggle, just let go.

Ask yourself “what do I need to walk my path” and there from your center only the words that matter will come. Then, when you leave your center, look to meet your own needs.

A commitment to center and a consistent return is the path to preventing burnout but also one of being a good human.
