The art of “INNER HIDE AND SEEK”.
One of the main things I have come to understand as a therapist, is that people have a tendency to look for answers outside of themselves.
Outside is easy and accessible.
However, the answers to our deepest questions should and can be found within ourselves.
Maybe it’s surprising to hear but I give little advice in my clinic or workshops.
It’s not a part of the therapeutic process.
One of the major techniques that I practice with my clients is the art of inner "hide and seek". Which simply means to slowly develop verbal, physical and emotional intimacy between me, myself and I, or karma / god / mother earth for those who hold spiritual beliefs.
The more my connection with myself grows and deepens, the more my dependence on external reality will decrease and together with that anxiety decreases, stress goes down, addictions are reduced and a sense of happiness and freedom rises.
Change is seen as something big, and truly there are beautiful breakthrough moments in life.
But real and deep change, the kind that comes from within, happens day after day by small actions of self-intimacy that enables clarity of the mind to appear as I walk the path of life.
