Kinda wild that all growing up I felt guilty for 'acting like I had problems' in my life when I had a whole family (cause divorce and single parents were so bad according to the church) and a perfect life. Then realizing recently that I in fact did not have a perfect childhood and family. And that having your father lose his hand in an accident involving a homemade bomb and getting arrested for it, going to jail and having to move because of it, then being raised below the poverty line and being excited when your dad got out and was on parole but he was such a different person that it felt like you actually lost your father is in fact traumatic.

There was also some other stuff of course but it's wild how long it took my siblings and I to realize how much that had an impact on us

Hi, thank you for making this Tumblr. I am someone who Liana latched onto when I was in my early 20s. She tried to offer herself as a "caring mentor" to me ... which I realized more recently was her grooming me into giving her money for her peer counselling sessions. They made my mental health exponentially WORSE, leading to me needing inpatient care. I wish I had never met Liana.

1 Kings 12: Jeroboam Returns To Israel From Egypt

1 Rehoboam went to Shechem, for all Israel had gone there to make him king. 

2 When Jeroboam son of Nebat heard this (he was still in Egypt, where he had fled from King Solomon), he returned from Egypt. 

3 So they sent for Jeroboam, and he and the whole assembly of Israel went to Rehoboam and said to him: 

4 “Your father put a heavy yoke on us, but now lighten the harsh labor and the heavy yoke he put on us, and we will serve you.”

5 Rehoboam answered, “Go away for three days and then come back to me.” So the people went away.

6 Then King Rehoboam consulted the elders who had served his father Solomon during his lifetime. “How would you advise me to answer these people?” he asked.

7 They replied, “If today you will be a servant to these people and serve them and give them a favorable answer, they will always be your servants.”

8 But Rehoboam rejected the advice the elders gave him and consulted the young men who had grown up with him and were serving him. 

9 He asked them, “What is your advice? How should we answer these people who say to me, ‘Lighten the yoke your father put on us’?”

10 The young men who had grown up with him replied, “These people have said to you, ‘Your father put a heavy yoke on us, but make our yoke lighter.’ Now tell them, ‘My little finger is thicker than my father’s waist. 

11 My father laid on you a heavy yoke; I will make it even heavier. My father scourged you with whips; I will scourge you with scorpions.’”

12 Three days later Jeroboam and all the people returned to Rehoboam, as the king had said, “Come back to me in three days.” 

13 The king answered the people harshly. Rejecting the advice given him by the elders, 

14 he followed the advice of the young men and said, “My father made your yoke heavy; I will make it even heavier. My father scourged you with whips; I will scourge you with scorpions.” 

15 So the king did not listen to the people, for this turn of events was from the Lord, to fulfill the word the Lord had spoken to Jeroboam son of Nebat through Ahijah the Shilonite.

16 When all Israel saw that the king refused to listen to them, they answered the king:

“What share do we have in David,     what part in Jesse’s son? To your tents, Israel!     Look after your own house, David!”

So the Israelites went home. 

17 But as for the Israelites who were living in the towns of Judah, Rehoboam still ruled over them.

18 King Rehoboam sent out Adoniram, who was in charge of forced labor, but all Israel stoned him to death. King Rehoboam, however, managed to get into his chariot and escape to Jerusalem. 

19 So Israel has been in rebellion against the house of David to this day.

20 When all the Israelites heard that Jeroboam had returned, they sent and called him to the assembly and made him king over all Israel. Only the tribe of Judah remained loyal to the house of David.

21 When Rehoboam arrived in Jerusalem, he mustered all Judah and the tribe of Benjamin—a hundred and eighty thousand able young men—to go to war against Israel and to regain the kingdom for Rehoboam son of Solomon.

22 But this word of God came to Shemaiah the man of God: 

23 “Say to Rehoboam son of Solomon king of Judah, to all Judah and Benjamin, and to the rest of the people, 

24 ‘This is what the Lord says: Do not go up to fight against your brothers, the Israelites. Go home, every one of you, for this is my doing.’” So they obeyed the word of the Lord and went home again, as the Lord had ordered.

Golden Calves at Bethel and Dan

25 Then Jeroboam fortified Shechem in the hill country of Ephraim and lived there. From there he went out and built up Peniel.

26 Jeroboam thought to himself, “The kingdom will now likely revert to the house of David. 

27 If these people go up to offer sacrifices at the temple of the Lord in Jerusalem, they will again give their allegiance to their lord, Rehoboam king of Judah. They will kill me and return to King Rehoboam.”

28 After seeking advice, the king made two golden calves. He said to the people, “It is too much for you to go up to Jerusalem. Here are your gods, Israel, who brought you up out of Egypt.” 

29 One he set up in Bethel, and the other in Dan. 

30 And this thing became a sin; the people came to worship the one at Bethel and went as far as Dan to worship the other.

31 Jeroboam built shrines on high places and appointed priests from all sorts of people, even though they were not Levites. 

32 He instituted a festival on the fifteenth day of the eighth month, like the festival held in Judah, and offered sacrifices on the altar. This he did in Bethel, sacrificing to the calves he had made. And at Bethel he also installed priests at the high places he had made. 

33 On the fifteenth day of the eighth month, a month of his own choosing, he offered sacrifices on the altar he had built at Bethel. So he instituted the festival for the Israelites and went up to the altar to make offerings.

Mastering Peer Supervision in Counseling: A Comprehensive Guide for Success

In the dynamic realm of counseling, peer supervision counseling stands out as a cornerstone for professional growth and excellence. At CMH , we recognize the pivotal role that effective peer supervision plays in enhancing the quality of counseling services. In this comprehensive guide, we delve into the intricacies of peer supervision, providing valuable insights and strategies to empower counseling professionals.

Understanding Peer Supervision

Peer supervision involves a collaborative and reflective approach among counseling professionals to foster continuous learning and development. It goes beyond traditional supervision models, emphasizing shared experiences and mutual support.

The Benefits of Peer Supervision

1. Enhanced Self-Awareness

In a peer supervision setting, counselors gain a heightened sense of self-awareness through open dialogue and feedback. This introspective process contributes significantly to personal and professional growth.

2. Skill Refinement

Peer supervision creates a platform for skill refinement as counselors exchange techniques, strategies, and best practices. This collaborative effort elevates the overall competency of the counseling community.

3. Emotional Support

The counseling profession can be emotionally demanding. Peer supervision serves as a vital support system, allowing professionals to share challenges and successes, fostering a sense of camaraderie.

Implementing Effective Peer Supervision

Establishing a Structured Framework

1. Define Objectives

Begin by clearly defining the objectives of the peer supervision group. Whether it's skill enhancement, case consultation, or emotional support, a well-defined purpose sets the foundation for productive sessions.

2. Structured Meetings

Regular and structured meetings are crucial for the success of peer supervision. Consistency promotes a sense of commitment and allows participants to anticipate and prepare for each session.

Creating a Safe and Supportive Environment

1. Confidentiality

Emphasize the importance of confidentiality within the peer supervision group. A safe space encourages open communication and the sharing of personal experiences without fear of judgment.

2. Active Listening

Foster a culture of active listening. Each participant should feel heard and valued, promoting a collaborative atmosphere that encourages the free exchange of ideas and insights.

Overcoming Challenges in Peer Supervision

Navigating Differences of Opinion

1. Encourage Constructive Dialogue

Differences of opinion are inevitable in peer supervision. Encourage participants to engage in constructive dialogue, emphasizing the mutual goal of professional improvement.

2. Mediation Strategies

When conflicts arise, implement mediation strategies to address issues promptly. A proactive approach ensures that challenges are resolved, maintaining the integrity of the peer supervision process.

Peer Supervision and Professional Growth

Documentation and Reflection

1. Journaling Practices

Encourage counselors to maintain journals to document their reflections and insights gained during peer supervision. This practice promotes ongoing self-assessment and continuous improvement.

2. Goal Setting

Set individual and group goals based on the outcomes of peer supervision. These goals should be specific, measurable, achievable, relevant, and time-bound (SMART), providing a roadmap for professional growth.

Conclusion

In conclusion, mastering peer supervision is essential for counseling professionals aiming for excellence in their practice. By embracing a collaborative and reflective approach, counselors can harness the power of shared experiences, fostering a community dedicated to continuous learning and development.

Who Will Help Me Get To Paradise? 

Carl Pollard Proverbs 1:15-19 says, “my son, do not walk in the way with them; hold back your foot from their paths, for their feet run to evil, and they make haste to shed blood. For in vain is a net spread in the sight of any bird, but these men lie in wait for their own blood; they set an ambush for their own lives. Such are the ways of everyone who is greedy for unjust gain; it takes away…

Mental Health Support

In today’s fast-paced world, stress, anxiety, and emotional burnout have become a common reality for many individuals. People often find themselves struggling to maintain a balance between work, relationships, and personal well-being. The pressures of daily life can sometimes become overwhelming, leading to feelings of helplessness and isolation. However, it’s crucial to understand that the journey to emotional well-being begins with seeking the right support and developing mental resilience. That’s where EasyGoingsMentalWellness comes in, offering the best online counseling for depression and best online counseling services in Pathankot to help you navigate these challenges.

One of the most significant issues that affect mental well-being is the lack of self-awareness. When we fail to recognize our emotional needs, we tend to ignore signs of stress, fatigue, or depression, which leads to deeper issues down the road. Self-care is not just a buzzword—it is the foundation of a healthy mind and body. By prioritizing self-care practices such as mindfulness, proper sleep, and exercise, we can reduce anxiety and build emotional strength. At EasyGoings, we emphasize the importance of developing a self-care routine as part of our best online wellness courses to enhance your mental resilience.

Another key area to focus on is learning how to manage stress effectively. High levels of stress not only affect our mental health but also our physical health. It’s easy to get caught up in a cycle of overwork and exhaustion, which only exacerbates anxiety and lowers our ability to cope. Our online peer support training equips individuals with the tools they need to manage stress and connect with others who understand their struggles. By building a strong support system, individuals can feel less isolated and more empowered to take control of their mental health.

Confidence plays a pivotal role in managing stress and emotional well-being. It’s no secret that confident individuals are better equipped to handle life's pressures. When you believe in your abilities, you are more likely to face challenges head-on and seek the support you need when necessary. At EasyGoings, we work with individuals to boost their self-confidence through personalized counseling sessions and wellness programs. We firmly believe that confidence can be the difference between merely surviving life’s challenges and thriving through them.

Lastly, seeking professional help when necessary is vital. Many people hesitate to reach out for counseling services due to stigma or misconceptions. However, therapy and counseling are tools that provide an essential opportunity to process emotions, gain clarity, and develop strategies for long-term well-being. EasyGoings offers accessible online counseling services that make it easier for individuals to seek support from the comfort of their homes. We are here to ensure you have the mental tools you need to lead a fulfilling life.

In a world where mental well-being is often overlooked, taking proactive steps toward mental health is more important than ever. Don’t wait for the problem to escalate; take charge of your emotional wellness today. With EasyGoings, you can begin your journey to emotional healing, resilience, and a brighter, healthier future.

For personalized support and guidance, book an appointment with our experts at EasyGoings, your trusted source for healthy living online services.
