Open To Change David R Ford

from Thriving Adoptees - Let's Thrive · host David R Ford, Simon Benn

Would you like to handle change better? Life started with a profound change for those of us adopted as infants: a new family. Later - search and reunion can bring about huge changes in beliefs we've held for our lifetime. David and I dive into navigating change when life throws us curve balls.Here's more about David and his bookBLIND IN ONE EYEA Story About Seeing the PossibilitiesWhere was my brother, the one born seven years before me but kept by my birth parents? Was it really possible that, after the lifetime I'd spent wondering about him, he was the guy a friend had just seen on the subway – the one who supposedly looked like my older twin?Finding my brother would soon feel like a naïve goal. His secretive and frightened parents had far more to hide than I could have imagined, and they had worked hard to maintain the elaborate facade of an ordinary family. Breaching their defenses would trigger events that quickly took control of my life.Blind in One Eye is the richly detailed story of an adoptee finding, and being absorbed into, a shockingly troubled birth family – a story about abruptly leaving behind life as an only child. But it's also the story of someone with focused and demanding expectations who learns to see other possibilities, to see that the answers he actually gets in life might be more important than the ones he thought he wanted.The most remarkable discoveries seem to come while looking for something else – as long as you're open to the possibilitieshttps://www.amazon.com/Blind-One-Eye-Seeing-Possibilities/dp/0982971508https://blindinoneeye.com/https://www.linkedin.com/in/davidrford/https://twitter.com/blind1eyehttps://www.instagram.com/findford/ Guests and the host are not (unless mentioned) licensed pscyho-therapists and speak from their own opinion only.
