“Welcome everyone, I’m Miss Seles here to bring to you, Emotional healing.Our body’s response to trauma is by shutting down, numbing all the negative feelings until it becomes too much to handle, which is why we often fall into depression. It is important to note that the symptoms and causes might vary, however, for the sake of our mission here today. We’ll be focusing on the most common symptoms and causes that I’ve noticed within this group upon reading the application letters.Symptoms:Self hate Dislocation Resentfulness Suicidal thoughts Obsessive behaviour Binge eating Anxiety Causes:Childhood traumaPressure (peers, family members, sexual partner, work)Fear Low self esteem Remember, as overcomers of depression, we’re here to PHG. Prevent, heal, and grow from depression. Not to shame others. With that being said, let’s start with Shantel. The girl, whose name was called, stood up. Miss Seles gave her an encouraging smile, and she told us why she’s here. “Hello
I had just gotten home from work, exhausted. I wanted nothing more than to shower and take a nap.When I open the front door. I didn’t expect to see my parents in the living room. They drenched their faces with disappointment. I awkwardly joined them on the couch. The atmosphere felt suffocating “Um, is everything alright?”I laugh nervously “Claire Elizabeth Woods, I’m disappointed in you “Oh, this can’t be goodWhenever he uses my full name, I know he’s really mad. “Why?”I asked, as I tried to think of the reason for his disappointment.What could it possibly be ?“You haven’t been working for a full month and you’re already letting some dude finger you?, not that you should be letting anyone besides your mate do that “My cheeks burned with embarrassment. I’m not sure I understood him. “I thought you were gonna wait for your mate “This time it was mom who spoke “I am. I haven’t done anything. What are you two talking about?”Overcome with emotions, I started to cry. I cou
The sunlight escaped through my window and shone directly on my bed. Which irritated me. I need to do something about this as I wasn't ready to get up.My eyes scanned my room for a solution when it dawned on me that I haven't cleaned in a while. No work today, no friends, no plans, might as well clean my room right. I grabbed the cleaning supplies from my storage cupboard and began cleaning my room. There was a lot of trash under my bed and In the corner of my room which made me realise how depressed I actually was. My room was a pig style and I was never one to keep my surroundings dirty and untidy. I did all my laundry since I was 13 and when my mom insisted on helping I'd throw a fit. Thankfully, I'm out of that depressed state now.I owe it to my parents for saying enough is enough. Maybe I would have lost myself and my wolf completely.***A few tired hours later my room was clean and tidy, so was my bathroom too. I made sure to turn my bed away from Windsor so that I
It's been a month since I've last seen Max and or spoken to my parents. On a positive note, work has been great. Doctor Lynch and I get a long quite lovely. Occasionally we have a few disrespectful patients or disagreements but nothing we couldn't handle. I was on my way to the storage room to fetch some medicines that needed restocking When I felt a familiar feeling. normally I'd curse but this time around I was ecstatic.finally! I turned around and glared at the man I've been wanting to see " Max, how could you tell my dad such a lie?" I asked but he kept his head straight pretending not to notice me. " Look at me, I'm talking to you " I grabbed his arm but he shook me off and said, " What's this, I could have sworn you said to stay away from you "Well I guess I did, but there's an issue that needs to be resolved, an issue he created when he lied to my dad. My parents and I aren't talking because of it.He walks away and I groan " We aren't done yet!"I yelled then
I headed back to work, there was only an hour left before it would end. As soon as it did, I went home, Max must be avoided at all costs. I sighed and opened the front door, this place no longer felt like home. The warm cosy feel it had, vanished the moment my parents and I stopped talking. I loved them, they were the best parents I could have ever asked for. We were all so close, I was their only child. It's sad they'd believe Max over me I know he's soon to be Alpha but stil. They've been together even before they knew they were mated, they both said they could feel the chemistry and it was impossible to stay away from each other. After finding out, mom got pregnant with me shortly after. I think they tried having another child after me but it never worked out. The appetising smell of mom's cooking filled my nostrils the moment I entered causing my stomach to grumble in excitement. " Good evening My sweet daughter, how was work " She yelled from the kitchen indic
At 11 in the morning, I sat in the living room of our home watching Tv. When my parents decide to disturb me, “Sweetheart, you can’t stay mad at us forever, we gave birth to you “Mom says, but I remained focused on the show at hand. I was in a good mood after last night and I’d be damned if I let them spoil it. Wolfie and I spent an hour in the woods playing, which I vow to myself to never do again.I was warned multiple times not to stay down at the river too late. Sadly, I didn’t get to question him about how he became rogue, as he didn’t want to disclose anything. When I tried to ask how, he growled at me. All in all, we had a great time. “Claire, we’re speaking to you “I pause the show. “What you said might be true, but you guys weren’t parent enough to know your own daughter ““I’m sorry “Dad apologises “We shouldn’t have believed him over you, he cleared it up yesterday, he said he was only trying to get back at you for something “I shook my head in utter disbelief
There you go. I heard my dad’s voice as I regained consciousness.“Hey ““What happened?”“You drained yourself out “He tells me as he hands me a sandwich. Which I'm glad we brought.“So did I shift?”“No, you need more stamina, your body is too weak to shift either that are your mind is preventing you “I nod as I try to figure out ways to build my strength.“You know Max, he could train you, he’s a trainer “Ugh.“Max’s a busy man. Wouldn’t it be a bit much to ask him to take a few minutes of his hectic schedule just to train me?”
Work ended and here comes the moment I’ve been dreading all day. Training with the monster. I hate the guy, but if he can help me. I’ll take it. With him and PHG. I’m sure Clarissa and I will be up and running in no time. Last night I thought about this, and it’s the perfect strategy. Build physical strength while also working on my mental strength. They go together like glue. If one isn’t functioning properly, the other won’t either. I changed out of my work uniform and into some purple and black leggings with hints of grey, a matching top, and black sneakers. Leaving my bag on our stands, I took my water bottle and made my way over to the field. There were around 15 men on the field doing stretches. I scanned the field in search of Max, but I didn’t see him. His presence I could feel, though, so I knew he was somewhere around here. Suddenly my body shivers, which made me aware he was close, a little too close. I turned around and there he was, smirking at me.“Creep “
