Have you heard of the 2 Mountain Metaphor? đď¸đď¸
Some people may believe that their therapist has life all figured outâbut itâs not like that, because you see, as youâre climbing your mountain, Iâm also climbing mine.
From where I am on my mountain, I can see things on yours that you cannotâlike if you follow a certain route youâll encounter an impossible overhang, but I also see different routes you can take.
But, on my mountain, I am still climbing too, still making mistakes and learning from them as I go.
So, we are the same.
All of us climbing mountains. All of us getting better as we go, better at appreciating the journeyâand that is what therapy is all about.
Humans helping other humans.
I suppose a metaphor like this can also relate to parentingâwe may not have all the answers but we do have a certain level of acquired insight to help guide.
May you find those to work with whom you feel safe, supported and truly seen.
And may you gift yourself some grace when it comes to parenting your kiddos.
All the love,
