I’m annoyed and concerned!
I’m observing many one sided experiences being projected into this space as instructions to not pursue “fill in the blank”, whatever is “trending”.
This is upsetting me because therapy, counselling or coaching can be beneficial for individuals and some people contemplating reaching out end up not because the spell casted upon viewers creates fear or increases fear. This is irresponsible.
Are there unprofessional, misguided and even dangerous therapists, coaches, and counsellors? Yes, there are. Just like there are insensitive, thoughtless, inconsiderate, unsafe, dangerous people.
Remember that no person should tell you what to do, especially not the professional you’re seeking help from.
That includes every profession!
Yet, we have been conditioned from an early age to just do what people tell us so it’s hard for some people to know the difference (Sometimes this is the work in itself! :) ).
Support involves exploring and understanding why you’re feeling what you’re feeling. That doesn’t mean cut off and end any relationship (with the exception of physical safety) and yet it could…if YOU know the reason for your choice costs you more than what you gain.
It’s not easy to arrive here.
It’s not overnight.
It’s not a 6 week program.
It’s not self-help.
It is a safe place.
Without judgment.
It’s processing what’s going on beneath the layers with someone who has training to help YOU get there. If you’re feeling pulled, rather than invited, this could be risky.
If it feels safe, even if you’re being invited to perspectives that may challenge you, growth is meant to be uncomfortable but not impossible or unattainable.
Trusting yourself is key. Remember you can have free consultations, ask questions, trial it out and even change your mind! Just talk it out with someone.
Cause leaving it up to an algorithm to inform you by the same messages, could be the very thing keeping you stuck.
With care,
Sabrina
