What I Wanted to Hear
I heal me, for you! You heal you, for me!
I share this for the possibility that it may help another.
There are many soothing words, healing sentences and moments that do take place in each therapy/counselling/healing session which reach a deep place within, and yet there remain some things that you specifically want to hear, that another has not yet given you.
With counselling, therapy, energy healing session, workshops, reading, talking with others, watching videos or whatever it is you do for your own self healing there are still some things that seem to never get said directly to you, but the psyche aches to hear the words out of someone else's mouth.
A healing sentence, a validation, a reminder of a deep knowing, that connection exists.
Here is a collection of what I needed to hear directly from someone - a parent, a wise other, a therapist, counsellor, practitioner, a spiritual mentor, healer of some sort - but didn’t.
I realised that there are something things that I still needed to hear even after years of lots of reading, watching, learning, a Holistic Counselling course, picking up clues in my own (as client) therapy sessions along my own self healing journey.
A NOTE FOR YOU:
For clarity - to maintain trust, respect and safety for clients, there are unsaid rules, ethics, and more to adhere to in private client/therapist sessions. Especially to respect not creating more trauma, secondary trauma for clients.
Not everyone is able to hear such truths directly from someone until they have developed inner resources and the strength to take on these words of reality. This is why some therapists/counsellors/healers may not offer these words.
Also know that no matter how much 'healing' one says they have done, as humans we are beautifully vulnerable, sensitive and amazingly resilient and incredibly adaptable. The truth may hurt at first but ultimately it is the medicine you didn't know you needed.
What I share below I can offer because I do believe that within each of us, there is a divine space to take on all and every truth of our own reality and it is from this place within me - I open up to you.
A RECOMMENDATION AS YOU READ THROUGH:
I recommend you take your time to peruse.
Why? To let your body and your psyche take on the essence of each insight as if a therapist was right in front of you saying these words compassionately to you. Visualise it, feel it.
Sith with each one and feel into how it resonates with you. Is there a part of you that didn't know you needed to hear such words? Let the feelings arise, it may take time, it may connect right away.
Some of these insights, you have have moved through the healing of it already on your own journey, and others you may not have crossed the path for it yet.
There is much more I wanted to hear but from this I hope you can find a space within to give yourself the healing words, healing moments you seek.
