The Single Most Important Insight That Will Send Your Therapy Practice Stratospheric

I have long championed the idea that if we are to be therapists and healers, we need to be healed or on a path to our own healing. The talk I gave at the James Braid Society at the end of November highlighted how we are so much more than the techniques we offer or the theories we have studied.  In fact, I would go further and say it is who we are that even makes any of our technique-ing work. All of those wonderfully painful and cleansing life experiences that we have passed through are the very fuel that will make us amazing healers and therapists.  If we at any stage, believe there is nothing else to heal and we are still working in this intangible field of the mental, emotional and spiritual healing of others, I believe we have lost the light of enquiry and the spark of our mission.

We are Leaders

As leaders of personal well-being, we owe it to ourselves, our families and our clients, to be in the vanguard of personal development. And what a fantastic privilege to be in this position. What an amazing and wonderful thing to be able to do: to work on ourselves, clear out our own stuff, gain insight and wisdom and peace of mind, and to absolutely know that, that alone, will offer our clients the best chance of recovery from their malaises. Watch, no techniques!

As we vibrate at a higher frequency so we will implore our clients, our families, our friends to match us. All we have to do is dedicate and devote ourselves to our own development. This dedication is paradoxically the most self-less process you will ever put yourself through. As you free yourself from the shackles of your family patterns and step fully into your power, your mere presence will give others permission to do the same.  This is mentorship: leadership at its most inspiring.

How do you ensure you are doing that?

You need to seek like minded people, or people who are just ahead of you and you feel instinctively good with. You need to seek out people who will challenge you and inspire you to grow and develop.  You need to adopt a fearless attitude to your own histories and forgive what cannot be changed and step into the here and now with courage and mission.  You need to feel resonance with others with who you are.  Feel, not think.  This seismic shift in consciousness will change the way you ‘do’ life and your clients over night. What you thought was impossible will just fall into your lap. And the reason for that is because you are living YOUR life courageously and not waiting for the route map to ensure that your every step forward is a safe one. 

I know for me I am on another seismic shift in consciousness that I will share with you over the coming weeks.  My mentor is helping me break out of my limitations so that I can better serve not only my colleagues but my clients, my family and of course, me!

If you think I can help you find your mission and purpose, email me and let’s set up a dialogue. Or if you’re feeling particularly brave, leap straight in and join me on my psychodrama day in January.

Anxiety – Not all in the Mind?

Anxiety: The multi-faceted solution. Is it time to harmonise your emotional state with your natural environment? If you spend too much time in artificial light, eating artificial food, breathing air conditioned air, drinking artificial water, and a myriad other of the normal toxic expectations of modern society, detox your mind AND body and tune in to nature’s calm. Here are a few hints and tips how to do that.

Fear of death and what to do with the hours left till I die?

Standing in St Paul's cathedral on Elizabeth street, Melbourne, I mused again, for the umpteenth time since my arrival 2 weeks before in Australia, about all the names of the fallen listed on imposing brass plaques mounted on aged teak that lined the walkways through...

Healing the earth needs healed men and women

Clear the fear of reaching out

First steps

I'd always said I wanted to travel, to learn from some of the masters around the world, metabolise and process their teachings and bring them all together in a powerful mastery of personal transformation so that I could inspire others to do the same.  I dreamed of it....

Clear the Fear – The Journey Continues

I've been banging on for years about therapists doing their personal work, clearing their fear and modelling authenticity. And the only reason I've developed such a passion for it is because when I first started out training my colleagues, I naively thought everyone...

The signs your unconscious fear is holding you prisoner?

While the fear mechanism is hugely beneficial to you at various times in your life, guiding you to be cautious so as not to be physically and often mentally and emotionally hurt, what do you do when it appears to be running your life on autopilot? The tell tale signs...

Do you fear being rejected?

I discuss one of the most painful and debilitating fears that many people experience: the fear of being rejected. If this fear was once upon a time important for us to stay attached to the safety of the collective, why do we still harbour these seemingly needless...

How your environment reflects your deepest fears

I have moved house 26 times in 30 years. I have been in my current house 8 years. So some of my moves were only months. What fear was I running away from? In this blog I talk about how our fears manifest our outer reality and that we have a duty, especially as leaders...
