This is so wonderful. I've just entered my third year of intense and persistent therapy and it has seen so many arrivals "back at the beginning", which has so often disheartened me. But you're exactly right - "something is picked up from the sandy bottom and brought to the swelling surface where the sunshine glistens on the water and we have room to breathe" (honestly wow, what a sentence!). It's growing and healing with gentleness and patience and reflection and gratefulness. Truly wonderful piece!
Wow I so appreciate your comment - thank you for your kind words. Huge respect and admiration for going into your third year of therapy, it takes so much courage to even begin to look at ourselves more deeply, so to be continuing the work is a brave thing to do. I believe it's where we can really heal though, even though it can feel like we're 'back at the beginning' sometimes. We are always integrating our healing, none of our learning is ever lost so really there can only ever be growth, even if it doesn't feel like it sometimes. Thank you again and sending love for your continued self reflection 💙
Thanks for your thoughtful comment Luisa. The internal stuff holds the biggest shifts and I believe it will definitely be noticed externally by those around you and more than likely bring things into your life as a result.
Really interesting what you say about 7 year cycles, I've heard of that before but never really given it much thought. But now that I do, I would say I'm at the end of a 7 year cycle too...and probably at the beginning of a new cycle that's going to be an entirely different one to the last 3 x 7 year cycles. That's given me something to reflect on, thank you.
Life really is funny. Sprawling on the sofa is a very necessary part of being excited 😊
