Where Do Your Emotions Go When They Hide? – Counselors in Birmingham

How many people do you know have unexplained physical pain or illness? And how many of them are on a pill of some sort for some unknown symptom that doctors just don’t have the answer to?

What if there were answers and they happen to be right inside of you?

If you have lower back pain, motivational author Louise Hay might say it is because you feel a lack of support in your life. Or if you have migraines, she would describe in her book, Heal Your Body, that maybe you have issue with control (or lack of control).

Sometimes these feelings hide so deep within our cells that we just can’t put our finger on it. We have experienced a life crisis and think we managed it just fine, but can’t seem to get your act together since then, life just seems less bright these days — or the laughter, not so sweet.

But what is it? You cant quite put your finger on it?

But what if you can?! What if tapping your fingers on meridians (energy pathways on our bodies) can release these hidden feelings and not just release them, but allow you to move through the experience lighter and less emotionally charged? What if tapping could help you find that sweet taste of laughter again, to breathe in the sunshine a little deeper — feeling so grateful for the day ahead?

I (Thriveworks Birmingham counselor Dawn Gaden) am so inspired to walk through this journey with you. With tapping, also called EFT (emotional freedom technique), I can guide you through these emotional experiences. I will be frank: you may feel the pain. It is our natural right as humans. It is who we are. How would we know joy if we didn’t know pain? We have the privilege of experiencing an enormous range of emotions — be grateful! You are human!

Be Joyful!

If you have good thoughts they will shine out of your face like sunbeams and you will always look lovely.” ― Roald Dahl

As we tap through the pain we become clearer in our understanding of the experience, good and bad. And move forward, removing the stuckness of the past. Even experiencing an appreciation for the knowledge and lesson gained from the crisis.

Every experience in life can be viewed in either of two ways: as a gift or as a punishment. It is up to your to choose which way to see it. It is truly in your power to make that determination. And with that, you get what you want out of life, whether you are conscious of it or not.

So why not make the choice to be mindful of your life, to be present in every moment? Yes, it is a big responsibility to take charge of your path, but who else will do it? You can do it! It may be difficult at times, but it is so worth the journey. So why not give it a try!

Review for Sandra Quigley

★★★★★
*****I have been a patient of Sandra's for nearly 2 years now and I really can't say enough good things about her work with me. She is a true Christian counselor and that was exactly the perspective I needed to guide me down the path God was trying to lead me. She definitely strengthened my faith and made many of life's big problems seem like small speed bumps when looking at the big picture!! I highly recommend Sandra Q. if you are looking for the someone who honestly cares about you and the journey you are on. Remember, there’s ultimately only one way to peace in your life, and that’s to walk daily with the Prince of Peace, Christ Jesus!! *****

I wouldn’t recommend it – one of the worst therapists I’ve ever seen

★☆☆☆☆
The doctor (PhD) I saw for therapy decided, on the second session, to pay more attention to doing things on his phone than to listening to me. He thought he was hiding what he was doing behind his portfolio, but he was not. I could see the reflection of what he was doing, and he was looking down more than up. He was pretending to listen but didn't do a very good job of that, because when I stopped talking, he would incorrectly try to restate what I said or, make a comment on what I said which turned out to not be relevant because it was clear he wasn't listening. He did not seem to want to be there. It was a horrible experience. I called the next day to complain to the lady on the phone, and got a sincere "I'm sorry" and that's it. When I got the bill (very expensive, by the way), I have been attempting to call the office to pay it over the phone but I keep getting told that the people that do the billing are currently busy and that I should call back. It should not be that difficult for someone to take a credit card number and apply it to my bill, especially a bill I shouldn't have to pay due to horrible service. I hope the other therapists at Thriveworks are better than the one I selected, and actually have interest in helping their patients.

She helped change my life

★★★★★
Dear Marcy, I can't thank you enough for recommending your therapist Dawn Gaden to me. She has helped change my life. I have always struggled with feeling misunderstood. But recently I fell into a deep depression; beyond something I could resolve myself. Therapy was required for my recovery. Since childhood I have been weary of therapists because I would talk through my problems but I didn't get tools and strategies to handle my problems better. Dawn has changed that. For the first time I leave each appointment not only relieved from having talked my issues through, but more importantly with tools to help me move forward. She has introduced me to methods I had considered silly, but now I could live without. I am proud of the person I am becoming and the journey I have chosen to take. Thank you for all you have done to change my life and my family's future.

She Inspires Hope

★★★★★
I found Sandra Quigley on the web while searching for a Christian counselor. I was having a lot of anxiety about making a career change. She not only helped through the anxieties, she also helped me with concerns in my personal life. Sandra's non-judgmental and compassionate approach, made me feel comfortable and hopeful.

Everything I needed

★★★★★
I found Sandra Quigley in the back of a magazine (Psychology Today). I desperately needed someone to talk to. Newly retired with plenty of time to allow my mind to take over my life, I felt constantly anxious and very out of sorts. Enter Sandra Quigley- compassionate, non-judgmental, kind, and gentle. She is everything that I needed to heal myself. I had never talked to a therapist before, so this was a new venture. It was very important to me that I find someone with whom I could feel comfortable. Right away, I felt comfortable. I did have assignments; I never was prescribed a single drug. She went out of her way to help me specifically with my issues- finding me articles, books, telling stories. I never felt uncomfortable; I felt and still feel that my time with Sandra is valuable. With Sandra’s help, I have unearthed a much calmer, happier, together self that now wakes up each morning looking forward to the day ahead. We all have our baggage- I never once realized that I could unpack that bag and put my crap away. I now get to walk through life so much lighter!!

So helpful!

★★★★★
I really love the helpful and peaceful approach at Thriveworks. I have known Marcy for a long time and her ability to work through tough spots and discuss personalities makes her a lot of fun for me. Time flies when we chat and that is a good thing for a guy like me who is always worried about time. I also love Dawn Gadens video blogs! Wow...so insightful and easy to access. I don't see Dawn in counseling but if she is that good on video I have to believe she is great in person. Give a shot...I bet you will love them.
