Think I saw you at Runyon today.
On the outside: Yeah, I go there a lot. Should have said hi! On the inside: This freaks me out! - Angry |
If you want to know what rebirth looks like, watch the entire video. (Was a bit shocked when I saw Diamond Dallas Page. I know him. We’ve hung out. He’s a good man. Small world.) - Angry |
 The day will go on, again and again whether you make the most of it or not. So don’t lose another one. - Angry |

I am not concerned with what you think of me. I am only concerned with what you think of yourself.

My Fucking Feelings
It’s 11:54pm on a Tuesday night. I’m in my bedroom in my underwear typing away feverishly on my little white Mac, trying to create a dialogue that may help others. In this case, quotes from Brene Brown on authenticity. I’m doing it on the same little white Mac I created The Angry Therapist on two years ago, on the same bed, with the same intent. But much has changed since then. My hair is longer. I have to blow it out of my face as I did in high school. My keyboard is partially paralyzed. Words vanish randomly. And I coach people every single day. I used to answer questions about addiction, relationships, sexual abuse. Now I process these questions with real people from all over the world. Words have turned into lives. My blog went from two dimensions to three. It’s really surreal. I don’t know how I feel about it. From the outside, people congratulate me and tell me I’ve come a long way, that I’m changing the rules. But on the inside, sometimes I feel like I’ve trapped myself. I’ve opened a door I can’t close. - Angry |

I try to make authenticity my number one goal when I go into a situation where I’m feeling vulnerable. If authenticity is my goal and I keep it real, I never regret it. I might get my feelings hurt, but I rarely feel shame. When acceptance or approval becomes my goal, and it doesn’t work out, that can trigger shame for me: “I’m not good enough.” If the goal is authenticity and they don’t like me, I’m okay. If the goal is being liked and they don’t like me, I’m in trouble.

Hi, my name is John Kim and I am a licensed Marriage Family Therapist. In 2010, I started a blog. Partly to document my own journey but also to create a dialogue that may help others. Coaching people online was not my intent but by the end of that year, I had two clients.
