\"THE<\/a>\u201cI just can\u2019t be alone,\u201d Rachel cried. \u201cIt\u2019s been over fifteen years since I\u2019ve even dated and well,\u201d she sniffled, \u201cI still love him.\u201d<\/p>\n

Rachel\u2019s husband of over ten years had informed\u00a0her over dinner, while the kids were at their friend\u2019s house, that he wanted a divorce. He gave no explanation, simply got up from the dining room table, put his dish in the sink, packed a suitcase and left. She was baffled.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe\u2019s a great dad. He\u2019s never missed a school function and we\u2019ve never been apart for more than a couple nights in our whole relationship! He\u2019s like a stranger now!\u201d<\/p>\n

Being a psychic and\u00a0seeing\u00a0<\/i>can sometimes be painful, because what I saw as an explanation was not what Rachel wanted to hear, nor one that she would accept, at least right then. I also knew that she wanted me to tell her that her husband was going to wake up and everything was going to be just fine, but I didn\u2019t see that and telling her what she wanted, when it wasn\u2019t the truth, wasn\u2019t the way I operated. But I had to tell her something, yet all that came out of my mouth was \u2018I\u2019m sorry\u2019. We then went on to discuss ways for her to cope no matter what happened, although I did see a divorce within a year and gently told her that.<\/p>\n

A hug on her departure she asked me if they truly got divorced would she be okay, and would she be free.<\/p>\n

Free.<\/p>\n

I thought her chose of word was unusual, although in the session I saw that both Rachel and her husband were co-dependent and smothering because neither trusted the other, not because they loved spending time with with one another. After all the years it became the normal.<\/p>\n

It was six months later that Rachel came in for a follow up appointment. Her wedding ring off and dark circles under her eyes. The divorce had just been finalized and she was still trying to cope with the changes and, as she put it, feeling free. I offered these suggestions, and although it came with a price to her and her kids, a year later she was doing much better and feeling more like herself than she had in years.<\/p>\n

Be Free<\/span><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
1. Take a\u00a0step<\/span>\u00a0towards what scares you. It is okay if you feel threatened at first. But don\u2019t allow the fear of the moment to jade your intuition.<\/div>\n
2.\u00a0Envision<\/span>\u00a0what you want (and not what you don\u2019t want) and like a movie, see how you want it to be played out.<\/div>\n
3.\u00a0Write<\/span>\u00a0your story the way that you want it go. Actually get out a paper and pen out and write it. Write out the things that scaer you and really look at it. You will probably see that it isn\u2019t as scary as you think.<\/div>\n
4. Stay\u00a0productive<\/span>. The more time you have time to over-think, the more time you have to create false ghosts. Have a go-to creative project \u2013 knit, crochet, paint, write, cook, bake, read, etc.<\/div>\n
5.\u00a0Believe<\/span>. Even if you don\u2019t feel that you have anything to believe, you sometimes have to fake it till you become it.\n

Fear holds us all back from our own success in all aspects of our life and it anchors us to a place that we don\u2019t want to be. Situations occur that we don\u2019t always want, like divorce or job loss, and we can\u2019t spend our life festering in the negative emotion. It helps nobody. Isn\u2019t it time for you release yourself and be free?<\/p>\n

You deserve the best of the best! I believe in YOU!<\/p>\n
