When In Doubt . . .

Doubt! How do you handle doubts when they crop up? Do you treat them as irritants? Do you allow them to immobilize your thoughts or actions? Do you give them more power than they deserve? Do you listen to the warnings sometimes imbedded in them?

All too often we tend to treat Doubt as if it were an enemy – something to either be eliminated or retreated from. When we treat Doubt as an enemy and nothing more, we exclude ourselves from potential insight and progress!

I wonder what might happen if, when a doubt surfaces, our first action would be to pause and pay attention to that little voice inside? You know, just stop and listen to our intuition. I wonder what might happen?

Perhaps we could complete the phrase “When in Doubt” with more purpose. Perhaps we could say: “When in Doubt” – Think; or Back Away; or Move Forward; or Reach Out; or Hug; or Pay Attention; or . . . Well, you get the picture. When in Doubt, we have many options. We just have to give ourselves a moment to pause before doing that next thing.

Have a great day!

Peace!

I want to invite you to visit two sites that tell a bit more about my work! I would love to help you or your group in any way I can. The first site is my Amazon Author Page and the second is my Mark E. Hundley website. Hope you’ll enjoy your time on those two sites!

I have been a Licensed Professional Counselor since 1994 and a Licensed Professional Counselor Supervisor since 2011. I received my BA in Sociology and Psychology from Hardin-Simmons University and my Master’s in Counseling from the University of North Texas.

I specialize in the field of loss/grief and have written, trained, and presented workshops on loss/grief since 1990. Helping clients learn to work toward reconciliation and integration of life losses is the basis of my work in this area.

My wife and I are both therapists and often work together with couples in our practice. We find that couples respond well to our co-therapist approach.
