Seeking personal growth with Nonviolent Communication skills?
When you you have been hurt, feel numb or detached, overwhelmed and anxious or despairing that life has not given you what you wanted or needed, that energy can remain with you. Like fog covered glasses, your perspective can be clouded. This perspective on life then becomes the lens you see your world through.
Be it present circumstances or years of self-defeating beliefs, it all serves to affect us mentally, physically, emotionally and spiritually. Outwardly you can react by means of harmful behaviors to yourself or others or turn it inward on yourself often leading to quick fix remedies to alleviate the discomfort. This accumulated debris from unresolved issues plays havoc in our day to day life. You carry the composite of You wherever You go.
Many people think it is all about thoughts. How we think, we act. That is true; however, there is more to consider. The heart receives impressions and remembers what was needed at any given point in time. The mind, in service to the heart, seeks to justify, defend, project outward or find creative relief for the situations we find ourselves in. Our behaviors are then reflective of what we believe to be true for us and in accordance with the stories we tell ourselves about a given situation. A holistic approach to therapy considers the sum total of all of our parts.
As our heart heals, the rest of us follows behind. Often that is all that is needed. Along the way, it's also helpful to have someone to consider action steps and strategies with to deal with the current problems.
