Welcome to Gently Shifting Sands
Committed to being a source of support, guidance and empowerment for the loved ones and caregivers of those afflicted with mental illness, mood or dissociative disorders
Are you the lover, the partner, the parent or the caretaker of someone with
BIPOLAR DISORDER, POST-TRAUMATIC STRESS DISORDER or DEPRESSION?
Are you caught up in a DIFFICULT RELATIONSHIP with an obstinate teenager; an inconsiderate spouse; a demanding parent; an obnoxious co-worker; a narcissistic business partner or any other relationship that seems to require so much effort to endure?
Has being in one of these relationships taken away your excitement for life, your confidence to voice your opinion, your hopes, your dreams and your goals? Do you feel isolated, angry, embarrassed, unappreciated and drained? At the worst of times do you feel that you are at the end of your rope and ready to walk out the door?
The time has come....to love yourself...take your life back...be the person you are meant to be!
As your Certified Professional Relationship Coach I care and I want work with you to find your strength and power to OWN WHAT IS YOURS and LET GO OF WHAT IS NOT. Together we will open the door to re-ignite your dreams, desires and goals once again!
I am passionate about this journey because I understand. I have spent many years living and feeling the frustration and isolation of loving someone with Bipolar Disorder, PTSD and Depression alongwith my share of other difficult relationships as well. I walked in the confusion and the daze wondering "how can this man love me so much one minute and hate me the next". I wasted so much time wondering "what I did wrong", or "why do I allow myself to be treated this way" or "what did I do to deserve this?"
I am happy to say that I emerged from the darkness, the self-pity and self-loathing to find my strength and my voice that allows me to live a full and productive life, not only with my love, my soul mate, my husband who suffers from Bipolar Disorder & PTSD but with others in my life that don't necessarily make it easy to be a part of their lives.
Through this process I've learned that I have the power to contribute to both the positive and negative aspects of any relationship and more importantly I've learned that no one can take away my dreams and my goals if I don't allow it to happen.
DESTINY is not about fate, destiny is about taking control!
