Most therapists are drawn to the healing profession by instinct. It is a vocational calling! Similarly, most therapists have experienced personal difficulties in their own lives. There is great value in having FELT those emotions a client feels – empathy can increase our effectiveness.
However, having reached the point in our lives where we begin to work with others,
the very experiences and limiting beliefs that have imbued in us
an understanding of emotions, become a hindrance and a burden.
BEHIND THE SCENES…..
It is easy to become so absorbed in our work helping other people, that we forget to look inwards, or even choose NOT to look inwards, giving others the priority
of our time.
It is all too easy to keep our personal baggage on the back burner while we get busy with someone else’s!
Most of us have an understanding of the mind/body/spirit connection and comprehend that -
Our lives and experiences are born
WITHIN OURSELVES…
And yet ….for various reasons, we seem to forget about the importance of continuing to refine who we are -
Things are ‘ok’.
Things are much better than they used to be!
We haven’t the time.
We haven’t the money.
We’ll get around to it.
We are therapists now!
Etc, etc !
When this is the case we have lost sight of something vital -
that life is about personal growth and moving towards our full potential as healers and more profoundly, as human beings.
Therefore -
*** Our challenge is to heal the healer ***
