Terrible, Thanks for Asking..

A beautiful young lady came to see me the other day. She had recently lost her husband to cancer and she was struggling.

We talked about the usual types of things that can support us, when grief comes to visit, but she wasn’t drawn to anything we discussed.

She did promise though that she would book an appointment with a grief counsellor.

On her next appointment, I could instantly tell something had changed. There was a smile on her face, a skip in her step and humour in her words.
I asked what had happened since we last met… she said, she found this wonderful ‘Podcast’ and although she cried at nearly every episode, it really made her feel better.
She went on to explain, that the Podcast is about the stories of everyday people, who have had sadness and tragedy knock on their door.

It is called “Terrible, thanks for asking” Click here to listen

I have since listened to a few episodes and I too, can vouch for the incredible effect it had on me.

Thank you “Terrible, thanks for asking” team

Try this exercise when anxiety starts to build…

Try to visualise your anxiety as a small child knocking at your front door.

The child may be wet, cold and afraid, or the child may be agitated and aggressive.

However you see the child – take him/her in your arms and reassure the child that it is safe…

Ask the child the following questions and jot down, what ever response comes to mind/heart/body first.

“What are you feeling”?

“What has happened that you felt the need to come to see me today?”

“What are you trying to tell me or show me?”

Then visualise sitting with the child on your lap, in silence for as long as you feel comfortable.

Continue to reassure the child that it is safe.

Dont worry if you don’t feel anything, when you first start using this exercise.

Each time you stop and acknowledge the anxiety, and just sit with it, you will find it gets easier and easier to just rest, until the anxiety/child feels ready to move on.

Over time, it will be like an old friend coming to sit quietly with you on your front verandah.

You will know that it isn’t coming to harm you.

You will know that it will pass.

You will know that it just wants to be acknowledged.

Stop using the word ‘Healing’

We do not do ourselves any favours when we talk about personal ‘healing’.

What does that mean?

It means we believe that there is something wrong with us.

That is so aggressive to ourselves

That is so destructive to ourselves

Lets aim for ‘acceptance’ and realise we dont need healing because there is nothing about us that is wrong or broken

I have had enough………

When you get that feeling that you have had enough and you want to run away….leave it all behind

from your job, partner, peer group

….just remember

What you run away from

You will run right into again….

Unless you change the way you run

Peace and harmony to all
