Many of us drag our pasts along with us like a ball and chain that clanks loudly whenever we move; we are never able to forget those events and traumas because every time we try to change, the loud noise reminds us of all the things that have hurt us. So…what if we really acknowledge the past, and the terrible hurts, and then grasp, viscerally, that there is nothing we can do about what has happened? What if we ask ourselves if we have to continue to be hurt, to replay old issues and be triggered by them, and let them continue to run, and perhaps even ruin, our lives?
Supposing we just shift our perspective a hair, the slightest turn of the head? Can we see what was, in a different light? Perhaps, we can then free ourselves of an endless repeating loop, and get on with our lives, finding solutions and resolution in where we are now, and where we want to go.
Instead of treading and retreading the same old tired ground, what if we looked up? What if…we thought and felt we could fly? What if we aimed for joy? In our embodied and somatic work together we might play, dance, laugh, sing, draw and, of course, talk - I call it non-traditional counseling. Please visit my website for more information.
