Our Path to Healing

When we are on our healing journey, we may choose to look for help along the way from people trained in a particular field or we may choose to go it alone and do our own research. It doesn’t matter what we choose because each of us is undertaking a very individual journey.

If you choose me as a counsellor, I can’t heal you. All I can do is help you to explore the problem that brought you to counselling. I can help you bring certain aspects of the problem to light and help you to consider them in ways that will ultimately lead to you being able to deal with them in a healthy way. I can look at your problem with fresh eyes and suggest ways for you to go through or around the problem.

While no one path works for everybody, psychologist Gabor Maté has found certain healing principles help people in general terms and I am going to present them in future blog posts. Perhaps one of them will appeal to you as you undertake your healing journey. Or…perhaps you want to combine it with having “fresh eyes” look at the problem.
