Xxx...Files Poem by Jordan Legaspi

XXX...files


…the world gone mud: All- the you; the me! ! !

“Talk to me about the problem that you are experiencing.
The answer lies within you,
and by using the talking process it will come to resolve itself”

“Your screaming about the pain is very ‘childish.’
You need to ignore the ‘parent’ messages from your mind
and begin to respond with maturity as an ‘adult.’
You need to rewrite the ‘script’ of your life”.

“Here are some dolls and a thumbtack.
Would you please use them and show me what is happening to you? ’

“Punishment and Reward;
the candies in exchange of your pain”.

“I can see that your whole body is involved with your pain.
There must be a significant goal or purpose for all of your behavior”

“Please share your thoughts with the entire group.
They will help you work through your pain”.

“Let your hurt and pain out…scream about all the pain.
Strike your pillow”.

“Let’s bring your pain into the here and now.
Use your imagination and place your pain in this empty chair.
Now talk to your pains let it know how you feel about it.
Next, switch places with your pain.
You became your pain and talk back to yourself”.

“Change you negative belief system and have a positive thoughts”.

“We need to look at your family system
and network and see how it is influencing your present pain.
You were a victim of child abuse and
had most likely suffered emotional, physical, and sexual abuse”.


“Your pain in near your sexual organ, you have a sexual problem”.

“…trust to God and things will be fine;
offer the things that troubles you in prayer and God will hear you- will deliver you;
God is the eternal healer…

Friends the truth is, none of us is free from pain and sorrow.
We are all wounded from our experiences:
from our family life to our community affairs;
from our circle of friends to our acquaintances;
from our personal and close relationships to our own selves.

Friends the reality is, we are capable of hurting other people- the human tendency.
Therefore let us…
Acknowledge our strength and potential-
let us use it to build healthy relationship starting from our selves and to other selves.
Be aware of our limitation and weakness-
let us not change it rather master it and not allowing it to over power us.
Be open to the possibility of growth and maturity coming from our past experiences.
Be willing to live life as simple as possible- the kind of life that has…
love to who I am and to what I have;
faith to “one and eternal” who is above me and to all that is and was and to be;
hope for what is good and best for ourselves and for the whole community.
Be honest and humble to admit failure and mistakes-
and willing enough to continue life’s journey...

…the mud got his world: All- the you; the me! ! !



Note:
The following “XXX…files” were different theories taken from the Discipline of Psychology- the attempt to study-understand the human behavior. These theories are as well tools (therapy) to minimize if not to eliminate the effect of the unpleasant experiences-abuses (during our childhood) to “man's” present condition.
