Therapy.
It was a major period of my life.
I discovered it when I was 8, after listening to my ex POW dad
enough to notice he wasn’t telling the same old story over and over again
anymore. I had discovered narrative
discourse therapy and decided to keep listening so I could heal him.
I discovered Gestalt when I was 15 and used processes from
books with my family and friends.
I underwent Primal Therapy when I was 18 and started
training to be a primal therapist when I was 22.
One of the teacher therapists who I admired greatly,
returned from a trip to the States, promoting a workshop that all of us at the
primal therapy centre enrolled in.
We all discovered together in this workshop, that we could
spend the rest of our lives in therapy, or, we could choose how we wanted to
live. We all discovered the power to
choose powerfully.
The result?
The whole centre fell apart.
We all chose to live exciting, fulfilling and rewarding lives. We moved on from working through our issues
and simply chose the lives we wanted to live and took our attention off our
issues.
My life became full of joy and possibility. My life was challenging and things still
stopped me or slowed me down, but I no longer had my attention on my issues,
agonising when I would ever be able to transcend them.
I stopped trying to be a therapist.
I started and sold three businesses. I left a toxic relationship. I faced my dad and brother’s cancers and
deaths. I learned to meditate. I travelled and taught overseas. I became a trainer. I took a punt on a relationship and committed
to a marriage.
My life was about creating a future instead of looking back
to my past.
When I worked as a therapist, I was helping people work through their issues. When I worked as a trainer, I was working to transform
people’s lives so that they had more possibilities and quality to their life.
Then I started to train as a coach.
Coaching was all about creating clarity and focus in people’s
lives.
All through my career as a trainer and a coach, I’ve used my
therapy tools and have never been afraid of helping people through emotional
states. But if someone needs therapy – I
refer them straight away to the people who are committed and talented in this methodology.
I value my joy and vitality in my life and know what results
I want to help others create.
My work is about helping create futures of joy, empowerment,
fulfilment and choice. I help people
clarify what’s important and focus on doing the important, significant things.
A therapist looks back and beyond and within.
A coach looks
forward, within and about doing the things that will get you to where
you want to go.
I’m a coach and a trainer, not a therapist.
Thank God!
