You are the expert on your own experience and emotions. What I help you with, is exploring those experiences and emotions in a new, more gentle, way.
The private sessions are simply a dialogue between us.
When you tell me about your experience and whatever might be troubling you, this brings up a natural curiosity in me. Reflecting on my own process and experiences, this curiosity gives rise to questions that help me better understand your thoughts, emotions, and experience in general. What creates the experience you are having? How do you relate to the emotions that come up regarding this situation?
While these questions help me understand your experience, they also invite new insights and open up the possibility of seeing the troubling situation in a new light. Sometimes this alone can shift our experience and resolve the uncomfortable feelings.
The next time we experience something similar, it might no longer trigger us as it used to. Often this does not require any conscious effort on our part. As we have already looked at the underlying emotions, we perceive the situation differently, and consequently also react differently.
The questions also serve another purpose. They allow me to notice if you are being unnecessarily hard on yourself. This is important, because self-criticism can be a big factor in our experience of anxiety, and also create problems in our relationships. Many of us are very critical towards ourselves without really being aware of what we are doing and why we do it. When we recognize this tendency, I can then guide you from being self-critical to experiencing self-compassion.
The process is very gentle and you get to define the pace that is comfortable for you. Often self-compassion develops even more quickly, when we slow down a little. It can be very liberating to take a moment to simply be with our experience and emotions without trying to change them or fix them in any way.
The dialogue helps us tune into our emotions and really hear what they are communicating to us. We start to understand our own experience better and our self-compassion opens up effortlessly. We start to feel more at ease and notice a newfound sense of freedom. We might also notice being more alive and more able to enjoy our life, relationships, and the present moment.
