From Defy the Darkness. Some of you are looking at your life from a point of view that masks all the solutions to your problems. And it's everything, not just negativity. It's how you talk about your story. It's how you interact with people. It's what you are willing and unwilling to try. It's the anger, hate, faer, all of it that keeps you from seeing anything different. You can't see solutions if you only focus on the problem in front of you. If you're Suicidal, guess what? That doesn't happen overnight. So if you're focused on that problem, you don't realize the solutions begin years if not decades before what you feel today. Solutions focus on the roots of where the problems came from. That requires perspective. #DefyTheDarkness #DylanSessler #NoOneFightsAlone #IAmAVoice #InvictusNation #InvictusTribe #perspective #pointofview #pov #perspectives #perspectiveshift #perspectivematters #perspectiveiseverything #perspectivetherapy #problem #problems #solutions #mentalhealth #mindset #mindsetshift #solution (at Milwaukee, Wisconsin) https://www.instagram.com/p/CRUTGItnD_2/?utm_medium=tumblr

It isn't impossible even though it feels like it. I did it by myself and I wrote the book that can become your survival guide.

Speaking the right thing for you to the wrong people leads to insecurities. Think about it. Get back to me when you realize it. #DefyTheDarkness #dylansessler #NoOneFightsAlone #IAmAVoice #InvictusNation #InvictusTribe #speak #speaking #speakup #rightperson #wrongperson #insecurity #insecure #insecurequotes #insecurities #insecurepeople #communication #shame #guilt #regret (at Milwaukee, Wisconsin) https://www.instagram.com/p/CQygj-vn5_q/?utm_medium=tumblr

I call it 'Perspective Therapy'. I'm beginning to notice through all the trauma, hardship, and adversity, the one thing hurt the deepest is perspective. We don't even see it changing. It's the interactions we give up on because it's not worth the fight. Slowly but surely, you stop fighting all together. You stop seeing the opportunities to enforce your boundaries and it's starts to creep in. 'It's is the doubt, the people willing to use you for their own gain, the self-loathing. Your body recognizes you're not willing to step into conflict and begins to show the signs of social decay. Why talk to people? Why give anyone your attention because they won't get it. They won't respect your dignity even if they did. They tell you something to make you feel better like get over it or it'll get better with time. Hearing that over and over again doesn't help anymore. You need detail. You need empathy. You need to recognize what things you are doing wrong without being treated as a failure and a burden. You need to be treated like a human being. Perspective Therapy is a recognition of reality. It's self-awareness. It's the self-realization of where the divergence began. How has your pain developed your perspective and your purpose? How does your pain limit your power? How can you recognize what you must process and what you must power through? Perspective might just be the best medication you can give the human body.

Grief is uncomfortable. The more people recognize that, the better they see that you can't always make things better with words. Grieving people need time to grieve, process, and find peace with what they experienced. When you see others who are facing grief and loss, create an environment where they feel allowed to feel. Show them its okay to feel these dark moments. Respect their space and silence. It may feel uncomfortable, but willingness to work through uncomfortable moments creates strong bonds. Bonds that can help mend the void left behind in loss. #DylanSessler #DefyTheDarkness #NoOneFightsAlone #IAmAVoice #InvictusNation #InvictusTribe #loss #grief #grieve #grieving #griefquotes #griefjourney #griefandloss #griefsupport #griefsucks #griefawareness #griefrecovery #mentalhealthcoach #mentalhealth #uncomfortable (at Milwaukee, Wisconsin) https://www.instagram.com/p/CQmp_HFnAo0/?utm_medium=tumblr

I have fought so many battles that people don't understand. This one may be the hardest one yet. There are no words that can explain it. People don't know how to talk about it. They apologize and stay silent. The silence is deafening but the defeat is silent. How do you express this loss? So many live everyday with the silent loss of miscarriage. How many mothers and fathers out there have lost a child before they were ever introduced to their face? Something as common as it is feels so... hidden. "The things we keep silent are the ones that destroy us." I remember saying this to clients, friends, even soldiers. Now I had to choose whether to remain silent or not. Hardship touches all. Silence does not have to follow suit. I must live the example I set for others. You don't have to speak your hardest moments on social media, but I beg you, have the courage to share with the ones you trust. Process with them. Learn with them. Grieve with them. Vulnerability may feel weak but I promise you it is the path to a strength that cannot be compared to what came before. As I process all of this myself, I hope you see a path forward as I do. Life is hard and even when you are at your best it will strike you down. Never quit on yourself. Feel and stand true, do not let your love of life fade because you have lost. Let the light of those who have passed carry forth your purpose and passion for life. I see you as you see me. #dylansessler #DefyTheDarkness #NoOneFightsAlone #IAmAVoice #InvictusTribe #InvictusNation #fathersday #happyfathersday #happyfatherday #father #fathersday #miscarriage #miscarriageawareness #miscarriagesupport #loss #grief #hardship #grieving #iseeyou #solemn #painful (at Brookfield, Wisconsin) https://www.instagram.com/p/CQWy2senKvV/?utm_medium=tumblr

You didn't know what self-doubt was until another human taught you to question yourself. At that point, you were forced to confront it indirectly. You conducted self-doubt in secret, behind the closed doors, alone. When someone else shows you that you shouldn't trust yourself, you pay attention. Sometimes it's the subtle indirect behavior that sends the harshest message. The things like the so-called 'unconditional love' that is only offered when you do everything within certain conditions. The open behavioral disappointment, animosity, and frustration when a child doesn't perform can be the most confusing thing in their world when it's followed up with, "it's okay" or "it's fine". If it was fine, why did you react with the body language that tells a child the opposite message? We still do this to each other as adults even and quite frankly, I think it's a major underlying factor in mental health issues. Humans are really perceptive and we pick up on body language far more than we pick up on words. When the actions people take don't fall in line with the words said, we take notice. But what if that's what you grow up within? How confusing would life be if you never saw someone who was consistent with both words and actions? How do you think this affects people? How has it affected you? #dylansessler #DefyTheDarkness #NoOneFightsAlone #IAmAVoice #InvictusNation #InvictusTribe #perspective #selfdoubt #doubt #doubtful #parenting #parents #impact #confusing #confused #mentalhealthissues #mentalhealth #communication #words #actions #underlyingcauses #toxic #poison #bodylanguage Join my inspirational daily text community by texting 'hi' to 1-608-336-4480 (US/CAN only).
