“I’m just WAITING for my life to happen!”
Stephanie (name changed) was anxious and unsettled when she first contacted me. She described her life as “stalled,” and wanted to:
- explore different career options;
- find a satisfying romantic relationship; and
- understand and feel more in control of her finances.
We began exploring each of her concerns in depth to help Stephanie discover the underlying issues at play. What exactly did she want from her life? What were her values, her needs, her dreams? What beliefs might be holding her back?
During our sessions and between, Stephanie had many insights about her life, finding new and enlightening perspectives. As a result, she:
- relaxed considerably regarding her original goals;
- rekindled her love for her chosen career;
- found a relationship (and ended it healthfully); and
- took concrete steps to become more knowledgeable about her financial situation.
What underlies her success, however, is something pretty fundamental; Stephanie has gained huge awareness about the anxiety that was present in so many areas of her life – its origins and how she was feeding it. By developing her very own anxiety management techniques, she now has tried and tested ways of identifying and diffusing the anxiety when it shows its face. And in fact, Stephanie tells me that the anxiety is a lot less present in her life these days. Stephanie is also learning the importance of being kinder with and more accepting of herself. This makes for an altogether more peaceful and contented person, one who now professes to ‘like herself more’. What a gift!
The Outcome:
Stephanie felt motivated to set brand new goals that reflect her evolved self, and is keen to make sure that her new habits become an integral part of her life so she doesn’t slip back into old patterns. We continue our work together and I feel sure that she’ll continue upgrading more and more areas of her life as she realizes she has the choice and the ability to do so.
It’s a joy to witness someone like Stephanie unfurling like a flower and discovering deeper happiness.
