This can be challenging to contemplate...
This man is wise. Regrets are illusory.

This is a story I hear all too often... fortunately this man got the right kind of help and support to turn his life around.

Tom Kirk, from Scunthorpe, became so weak he was unable to walk, but now runs a drug support group.

Echoism... courtesy of Daily Om: "Echoism (derived from the story of Echo and Narcissus) is a quiet, often unnoticed way of being, but its effects can be felt deeply in our lives. At its heart, echoism is the tendency to put others’ needs first — sometimes so much so that we forget our own. This pattern often takes root early in life within environments where our voices weren’t always heard or our needs were overshadowed, teaching us that the wants and desires of others were more important than our own.

When echoism takes hold, we may find ourselves quietly stepping back, holding back our feelings, and suppressing big emotions, all in an effort to avoid upsetting others. We pour our energy into helping, giving, and being there for those around us. And while these actions come from a place of good intentions — when unreciprocated — they can leave us feeling unseen, unheard, and disconnected from what our hearts truly desire.

But there is so much hope in healing from echoism. It’s a gentle and loving journey of finding your voice again — learning that your needs are just as important as anyone else’s. It’s about giving yourself permission to be true to who you are, to express your feelings, and to set healthy, loving boundaries. By embracing your own worth and stepping into the fullness of your authentic self, you create space for healthy and balanced relationships. Remember, you matter. Your voice, your presence, and your well-being are a gift to the world around you".

Practising self-awareness, self-care, shoring up or creating new boundaries, embracing your emotional body and expressing your authentic voice can all help to heal echoism.

Do you feel that people are increasingly disconnected from what is truly right and wrong?

Do you get the feeling we are being culturally engineered? That something feels very off and that the layers of manipulation, deception and lies are rapidly being revealed?

If we abandon morality, what hope do we have of discerning when we're being abused?

What is the essence of rightness? Wrongness?
Evil? Good? These truths are principles of natural law not man made law. They are immutable truths.

In the early stages of a relationship, knowing that you share foundational principles and values of right and wrong is paramount. So is the path to individuation for each of you.

I support individuals and couples on this path of inquiry, awareness and self knowledge. Do get in touch.
