My key to success has been #MentalHealthTherapy. I wouldn’t be able to experience success on this level had I never asked myself hard questions…until the answer was eva-dent. Tip: a therapist can’t GIVE you the answer, which most of y’all think is the case. But they can guide YOU to find the answer. After I got the answer, application was next. Lastly, rinse and repeat. 

What does that guidance sound like from a therapist, Ken? I’m glad you asked!

Therapist: I noticed you said xyz. Tell me why you said it. What did you feel when you thought of it. Where did that come from? When was the first time it happened?

After conversations like this, the goal is for you to start implementing this same strategy with yourself. 

You: oh [crap], I just blanked on my son for xyz. Why did I do that? When he did it, what did it remind me of? What was I feeling at that moment I blanked on him? Was I mad at him or mad at myself for being an absent Father early in his life…and since I can’t change the past, imma just let him be my outlet for now. (Damn, I kinda fell into the answer explaining to y’all some real shit that goes through my mind after years of asking myself these hard questions until I find the answer)

Then, I go back to my son and explain to him everything that just happened in my mind, believing that this process will be intertwined in his thought process one day. Lastly, rinse and repeat 💪🏾❤️
