Transformation
I have a story to share with you…
Once upon a time, there was a little girl with a natural sense of wonder and curiosity. She had a desire for taking pleasure in every little thing; she loved concentrating and knowing everything about the world. One day, she was riding her bike and fell. It hurt and no one noticed. She tried to tell her mom, but she was distracted and told her to “go away.” She looked for someone else to tell, but everyone seemed to brush her aside. These responses made her feel even more pain – more than she could deal with. She disliked this pain so much that she retreated into her own imagination and became amazingly good at diverting her thoughts to pleasant things whenever any kind of pain showed up. What she did not realize was that feeling pain was important even if it didn’t feel good. Real joy can exist only in the presence of having experienced pain.
Well, that’s not a feel-good story for sure. But there is good news…transformation is happening in that little girl’s life because she grew up to be ME. As I have journeyed and begun to recognize the stories that have captured me in a limited world, I have experienced freedom and integration.
And I want to share the tools with you.
Are you reliving old narratives in your life?
Are you feeling stuck the same old song and dance?
Do you long for acceptance and rest for yourself?
I want to understand myself and my story more
I want to experience my emotions in a safe space
I want to be encouraged and challenged to grow and become more integrated
I want to break unhelpful patterns and habits
I want to understand my mind, my feelings, and my body and how they work together
I want help telling my story
I want to dream about what my life could look like
I want to explore possibilities
I want to get unstuck
I want to better understand and engage with my personal and professional relationships
I want to understand complexity of myself and the world around me
I want to find acceptance and rest for myself
I want to be kind to myself and bless others with my being
I want to think for myself and have my own opinions based on my very good identity
I invite you to join me at Five Oaks Counseling to tell your story, unpack the details, understand where you are limited by old messages, and discover more of who you are created to be.
