When potential clients ask me how I work with people, I struggle to find succinct wording of how exactly I do it and what my process is. I have a broad base of education and life experience and as I learn and grow daily, I'm certain my process with clients grows and changes as well. Are you wondering what it would be like to work with me and how it is I can help you bring about the changes you are looking for? Here are some thoughts about my process of working with clients.
First and foremost, I help you, the client, become more conscious of what is going on in your brain. The way you think creates your life. More often than not, the human brain loops around and around in patterns of thinking and believing that keep you stuck and disempowered. I track what's in your brain and help bring you awareness of those patterns.
I believe that every action we take in life is so that we can feel a certain way. This is why paying attention to feelings is so important. Often we try in maladaptive ways to make ourselves happy. And we work hard to avoid or resist negative feelings like anger, sadness, fear, resentment, and disappointment. I help you, the client, see that you need all the feelings, and that you can work with all the feelings. There is no feeling you need to avoid or resist. When you avoid or resist a feeling, it gets stuck and then you feel stuck.
If you seek me out to work on things that happened in your past, we talk extensively about what happened, recognizing that re-experiencing the past within a safe and non-judgmental environment is healing in itself. But we don't stop there. I help you look at your past in a way that serves you instead of a way that disempowers you, in a way that motivates you instead of depresses you. Your past happened for you. Your past happened exactly the way it was meant to. The ability to move forward with wisdom and joy is available if you want it to be. You have the power to create whatever it is you want in your future, starting now.
Mostly, I want to help you create whatever you want in your life because I believe you were made for that. You were made to dream big, show up big, and to live an expansive, creative, mind-blowing life, whatever that means for you. If you fully commit to the process, we just GO.
My process with clients rests under the wide umbrella of complete and utter love, respect, and honour for each and every person I see. I believe that every client I work with is 100% whole as they are. When I see you, the client, as 100% whole, the rest is just gravy. Tears are shed. Laughter abounds. Together we take an experimental, curious, and playful approach to whatever it is you are wanting to create.
Until next time,
