I'm grateful for the last rays of autumn sun

𝑭𝒓𝒐𝒎 𝑰𝒏𝒔𝒊𝒈𝒉𝒕 𝒕𝒐 𝑬𝒎𝒃𝒐𝒅𝒊𝒆𝒅, 𝑪𝒐𝒉𝒆𝒓𝒆𝒏𝒕 𝑨𝒄𝒕𝒊𝒐𝒏 — 𝑨 𝑪𝒐𝒍𝒍𝒂𝒃𝒐𝒓𝒂𝒕𝒊𝒗𝒆 𝑹𝒆𝒔𝒐𝒖𝒓𝒄𝒆 𝒇𝒐𝒓 𝑷𝒓𝒂𝒄𝒕𝒊𝒕𝒊𝒐𝒏𝒆𝒓𝒔 A client may understand a great deal about themselves and still struggle to move forward. They may understand where their difficulties come from and still repeat the same patterns. Insight does not always translate into change. Underlying this can be 𝐝𝐞𝐞𝐩𝐥𝐲 𝐡𝐞𝐥𝐝 𝐛𝐞𝐥𝐢𝐞𝐟𝐬 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐢𝐧𝐧𝐞𝐫 𝐬𝐭𝐫𝐮𝐜𝐭𝐮𝐫𝐞𝐬 𝐭𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐬𝐡𝐚𝐩𝐞 𝐩𝐞𝐫𝐜𝐞𝐩𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧, 𝐢𝐝𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐢𝐭𝐲, 𝐦𝐞𝐚𝐧𝐢𝐧𝐠, 𝐬𝐞𝐥𝐟-𝐭𝐫𝐮𝐬𝐭, 𝐫𝐞𝐬𝐢𝐥𝐢𝐞𝐧𝐜𝐞 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐚𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧. The stories, narratives and language through which people interpret their experience also shape these structures, influencing how they understand themselves, what they perceive and what they believe is possible. They can be recognised, questioned and changed. My focus is 𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐬 𝐢𝐧𝐧𝐞𝐫 𝐚𝐫𝐜𝐡𝐢𝐭𝐞𝐜𝐭𝐮𝐫𝐞: 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐫𝐞𝐥𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐬𝐡𝐢𝐩 𝐛𝐞𝐭𝐰𝐞𝐞𝐧 𝐩𝐬𝐲𝐜𝐡𝐞, 𝐛𝐨𝐝𝐲, 𝐛𝐞𝐥𝐢𝐞𝐟, 𝐦𝐞𝐚𝐧𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐥𝐢𝐯𝐞𝐝 𝐞𝐱𝐩𝐞𝐫𝐢𝐞𝐧𝐜𝐞. I help people bring 𝐛𝐫𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐠𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐭𝐞𝐫 𝐜𝐨𝐡𝐞𝐫𝐞𝐧𝐜𝐞 𝐛𝐞𝐭𝐰𝐞𝐞𝐧 𝐰𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐲 𝐮𝐧𝐝𝐞𝐫𝐬𝐭𝐚𝐧𝐝, 𝐞𝐱𝐩𝐞𝐫𝐢𝐞𝐧𝐜𝐞, 𝐛𝐞𝐥𝐢𝐞𝐯𝐞 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐝𝐨, so that insight can become embodied and translated into action. This can support people to act in accordance with what they have come to recognise, rather than leaving insight at the level of intellectual understanding. It can support greater inner stability, a clearer sense of direction and discernment, while allowing previously disconnected aspects of experience to be re-integrated towards wholeness. This includes 𝐩𝐬𝐲𝐜𝐡𝐨𝐥𝐨𝐠𝐢𝐜𝐚𝐥 𝐜𝐨𝐮𝐧𝐬𝐞𝐥𝐥𝐢𝐧𝐠, 𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐨𝐥𝐨𝐠𝐲, 𝐬𝐩𝐢𝐫𝐢𝐭𝐮𝐚𝐥 𝐠𝐮𝐢𝐝𝐚𝐧𝐜𝐞, 𝐬𝐮𝐩𝐞𝐫𝐯𝐢𝐬𝐢𝐨𝐧, 𝐦𝐞𝐝𝐢𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐤𝐢𝐧𝐞𝐬𝐢𝐨𝐥𝐨𝐠𝐲. 𝐋𝐚𝐧𝐠𝐮𝐚𝐠𝐞, 𝐜𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐯𝐞 𝐞𝐱𝐩𝐫𝐞𝐬𝐬𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐤𝐢𝐧𝐞𝐬𝐢𝐨𝐥𝐨𝐠𝐲 𝐚𝐫𝐞 𝐢𝐧𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐰𝐨𝐯𝐞𝐧 𝐭𝐡𝐫𝐨𝐮𝐠𝐡𝐨𝐮𝐭 𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐬 𝐰𝐨𝐫𝐤: words shape how experience is understood and given meaning, images and visual expression can make inner experience accessible, and the body, explored through kinesiological tests and techniques, reveals another dimension of that experience, with each influencing how the others are understood and experienced. It has grown from more than 20 years of experience in learning and personal development, as well as my own lived experience of moving from suffering towards sovereignty. I bring these perspectives together according to what each person needs, including where relevant questions of spirituality, faith, existential meaning, family or religious conditioning and openness to not-knowing.
