Summary

My client, Monica, is terrified for her adult daughter, who is taking prescribed meds. Monica and her entire family are all moving through a very difficult situation as a family unit. I have included Monica’s Judge-Your-Neighbor Worksheet below for those of you who want to follow the thoughts above on Monica’s Worksheet that are causing her suffering.
Worksheet:
1. My daughter shouldn't take medication. She should handle life without medical help.
2. I want my daughter to go through life without any medications.
3. She should go through life without meds and use a strong inside.
4. I need her to go through life the strong way that I did.
5. She is weak, lost, addicted, lost her mind, and can be even worse than she is now.
6. I don't ever want to see my daughter so depressed and taking medication.
You can download your own Judge-Your-Neighbor Worksheet on TheWork.com. And now, with or without your own Worksheet, I invite you to close your eyes, get still, follow along, and notice as you begin to realize your own discoveries as Monica and I question the cause of her suffering and how to end it.
