Ever felt like you're stuck, circling through your own thoughts and emotions, unable to see what's really going on, and how to move forward?
I often get asked why someone would use a coach or counsellor. Honestly, this is exactly why!
There's a reason why your BodyMind keeps things stored in hard-to-reach places. And the conscious mind just can't go there - at least not on it's own.
l can confidently say, after years of repeating old stories to new therapists, my usually very strong conscious mind didn't get me very far. In fact, often it tried to trick me with intellectual gymnastics and justifications. While my heart and soul hurt, my conscious mind was very diligently trying to keep the status quo just right. It was trying to keep me 'safe' - or so it thought.
And certainly, you can do a lot with what you already consciously know, but you just can't see your own blind spots.
π And to someone who can see, the Unconscious likes to leak clues. It will leak through your posture and physical symptoms, through your language, through your intonation, sometimes even just through the energy you bring to the room. It's always leaving breadcrumbs back to the core wound.......if you have someone on your side that can see the trail and help guide you to the healing wisdom that sits along side it. π
π So, if you're feeling like you're inside that jar, remember that working on yourself is a courageous step toward self-discovery, healing, and wellbeing and you can be supported on your journey.
