Personal Development – Feelings

I have an uneasy relationship with my feelings. Traumatic events in my childhood and then years of pretending I didn't have any feelings in order to not be vulnerable was exhausting.

Even after years of personal development courses, counselling, therapy etc. it's a daily effort to remember that I'm not responsible for everything;

I am allowed to express my happiness, sadness, anger, fear, pain, joy, and many other feelings. I believe it's important for my mental and physical health to be able to do so!

That's probably why I originally became an actress, I found a way to explore feelings without having to own them.

As I learned to reconnect with 'feeling' I opened a door once again to my psyche and became aware of 'spirit', something I'd not expected or planned for but it felt real, comfortable and normal to continue and become a Clairvoyant and Medium.

But there was still something missing.

I was so used to being self contained and relying only on myself that I was unable to ask for help even when I really needed it! Then I was offered some sessions with a Life coach in training which blew my mind and opened my heart. Thanks to that amazing person (they know who they are and thanks once again), I decided to train as a Life coach myself and oh boy what an exciting roller coaster ride that was!

Deciding to become a Life Coach seemed like the next natural step that would allow me to work with clients who wanted practical tools to help them move out of grief and loss and look at what they wanted next for themselves.

Do you think that once you know your true purpose it becomes easier to reconcile all the past mistakes and decisions you made? Maybe not but during the Life Coach training I had to have counselling and took the opportunity to reconnect with my inner child, teenager and young adult. I was able to observe them with kindness and understanding and to embrace them as parts of myself that never gave up on me, that helped me to survive and live, and that nudged me towards reconnecting with myself and others.

So my true purpose is to help those who are searching to find themselves again, or the parts of themselves they put away for safe keeping and who now feel ready to bring them out into the light again, to see how they fit now, and if they do, (or not), what to do with them.

Deciding to use a Life Coach is not a one size fits all journey, it's as individual as each human being. With the right coach by your side it's good to know you have someone to travel safely with while you move towards your goals.

NB I am a qualified Life Coach not a Counsellor. A Counsellor addresses a completely different need.
