🪻This upcoming weekend, my three-year journey with the Gestalt school of Turin will come to an end. 🪻
In the process I have gained an inexplicable amount of practical knowledge, but most importantly, I have come to deep realisations within myself. The group process that sustains the experience has been fundamental for my growth, as we only exist as part of something larger.
In my past as an expat and solo traveller, I have become very independent and autonomous, but often times I would feel lonely and detached from people and happenings. The past three years have marked a 360° shift from feeling like I have to do everything on my own, to being able to receive and feel a sense of belonging.
So much so that I wrote my final thesis on Loneliness and Projections. It is so moving, so nourishing, to remove the mirrors that have separated me from the world and realise that I was never, ever really alone.
A friend told me last week "your talent is what you decide to do because it aligns with your values". I decide to pursue Gestalt counseling, actively listen and welcome people, and co-create another path together.
Much love,
Cecilia 🪻
