Courageousness of Heart
If you find yourself here, you are taking the first step on your path toward healing. What this says is that you you still have hope and are finding the courage to heal. Seeking answers to questions that feel futile and painful are actually the first step toward your own healing. My definition of healing is to recreate what was painful, and by confronting it, transform it into love. Because we need to face what ails us, in order to transform it into love, this journey takes courage, and courage comes from the heart.
Making Friends with Ourselves
With many "theories and training" under my belt, I specialize in listening with heart, and being well listened to helps people heal. My definition of love is relating and connecting to what is important to us. Often we may first learn, "don't be emotional," or, "its weak to feel." Consequently, we may tell ourselves or believe the story that goes something like this: "if I get emotional, something really bad will happen." As I grow up I begin to not trust my feelings. When I get or feel emotional, I may feel bad about myself, I may even think I am bad. Therefore, we first begin by practicing Compassion with all of who you are.
The Unfolding of Compassion
The courage to heal asks that we befriend all of your rejected parts from the past and that show up now. We welcome all feelings as you would an important beloved friend. Clients share with me that as they learn to be more tolerant and loving to these painful parts, while learning to sit with painful feelings, these same hurtful feelings change from challenges. They break through and lead to the most transformative moments.
Embodied Compassion
It may first appear difficult to start, but as the Chinese sage Confucius says, "A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step" and relief comes by taking the first step. Each step leads to another, and as the Alchemists from old said, "All will be resolved by walking." As you go about your journey, you will begin to figure it out. There is an organicity to every journey that unfolds and reveals who we are.
Wisdom and Compassion
As you take your first step know that you will not be alone. I find that it is deeply rewarding to be a witness, coach, mentor and therapist with you on your journey. Helping you discover more potential, resolve old losses and learn to express, not repress your feelings, achieve more of your life goals and embrace a happier more fulfilling life.
