thoughts from me to you
Bereavement and beliefs
Whilst I was training, I worked at a bereavement centre, counselling clients who had lost someone, often in traumatic circumstances, sometimes not. I have no preference as to what other people believe, but what I noticed was that those who believed in some form of...
Perpetuating the cycle
Sometimes our self-sabotaging relational patterns show up in the form of beautiful people - the perfect mixture of growth and comfort, all in one nicely wrapped package of synchronicity and chance meeting. It's so confusing, mixing up familiarity with healthy...
