I'm Tired, So Tired
Who are you without your story?
After a counselling session where I was the client I had an interesting aftermath. I felt agitated and uncomfortable in my body - frustrated.
I sat with this a while - as in overnight - and asked myself a few gentle questions of why I was feeling this way after my own personal session. I went through the waves of feelings, sensations and thoughts that ran through me for some time.
Then I felt the urge to write - the below is what poured out of me. I was going to write it in a journal but thought why not put it here, share it, make it available for others to see or not.
It's a long one.
