Needed someone to take care of you?…

You like taking care of people 

because it heals the part of you that needed someone to take care of you.

— Bianca Sparacino

I’ve worked with numerous coaches now (traditional therapy, group therapy workshops, energy work, life coaching, EMDR, spiritual coaching/A Course in Miracles), and the predominant message has been to take ownership of one’s own healing and self-care. What does that look like? Well, for me, it was years of intensive therapy, along with weekend workshops that taught exceptional communication/relationship skills. Probably the most impactful new skill I learned was inviting discussion around discomfort and tension. This allows each person to share their experience and perhaps make a request, which is very non-threatening and facilitates greater understanding and compassion. Admittedly, it’s a work in progress, as I continue to struggle with certain people and scenario’s (anger, predominantly). Just sayin’ :) Hugs and good luck. XO
