Introduction to Pieces of Me (Activity)

Sharea Farmer, LCSW

As I sit here listening to Ledisi’s song “Pieces of Me”; a thought crossed my mind, what are the pieces that make up a person?  The truth is that God only knows the whole of a person.   As a therapist, I have asked people to tell me who they are, who they want to be, or even what makes them up.  This question can be very challenging and upsetting for some who struggle with defining themselves in a world that is mostly defined by their past. So after some serious thought on how I can help others find the strength … Continue reading Introduction to Pieces of Me (Activity)

Work in Progress…

Sharea Farmer, LCSW

Every morning I go into my bathroom and look at the light over my mirror and tell myself; “I really need to put in a replacement.”  Then every day I walk out of there with no intention or plan to complete the project.  The truth is, there are many areas in our lives we look at and even acknowledge have issues and do absolutely nothing.  So similar to my morning routine of looking at the light, the issue remains, without any idea what it could be the consequences.  For example, the lack of light could be affecting my vision or … Continue reading Work in Progress…
