It may very well be that our deepest longing and need
is for connection. To be heard. To be understood. To be known in our deepest places. To learn to be more connected to the broken lost neglected parts of ourselves and those we care for. It isn't always an easy road. Perhaps even considering connection sounds intimidating or scary or dangerous. Often it entails letting go of destructive habits. Sometimes we just want to get unstuck. Sometimes, you and I will need to look at old patterns and troublesome symptoms to create new ones. There may be moments of laughing, or crying, or facing hard truths. You may need to take a new path or new future that is unknown. On the other side is the gold, or the jewel, or new life. However, through hard work, you can create a more satisfying life, with less pain, less hurt, and less fear. You can live a more authentic life, being fully who you are. More able to love and be loved. More able to move through the world with ease. More forgiving of yourself and others. All along the way...I will be with you. -Hillary, Clinical Psychologist |
