 Well, this is my first blog here and I have to say I sat here thinking about what I would write!
Well, I could go into a long winded explanation of what I am doing here and who I am but I reckon you would have clicked off long before I had got to my 2nd paragraph!
Still here then?!
So, I must admit I am in a state of overwhelm at the moment.
My book is out on the 8th July, my courses are taking off and my therapy clients are banging on the door along with my training becoming even more important to me as my "get away time".
The odd thing is that friends ask me whether it feels like I get pulled in ten different directions or not and I have to say, that withthe work I do, no. However, if they asked me if my head is going in ten different directions I would say YES YES YES!
Now, something I tend to get told off about is that when I see a therapy client, if I have a personal situation of my own or a personal example I will give it. Apparently we therapists are not supposed to give any part of ourselves to the client but I find this unproductive and the client is entrusting you with thier own issues which possibly no one else knows anything about - so why not?
Also, we are taught, and I also teach to my students - elements of rapport and that NLP, Hypnosis and many other therapies are a "do with" and not a "do to" process which mean you must, as a therapist connect with your client.
So, one of the comments, and the reason for this blog, was about my book Rebel Diet. I use a number of personal examples about situations which have happened to me in order to explain about confidence, self image issues and various other things which can affect out state of mind and therefore our body's metabolism. Some of those examples are funny, some are embarrassing and some are serious and the ability to be open and laugh at ourselves and feel able to give freely is partly what the book is about. So, do I get annoyed? For a second, or do I write a blog and pour out my thoughts onto a page?!
You got it!
So, the rest of the week ahead is planning my Rebel Diet seminars to go with the book, have dinner with my Publisher who is in fact turning into a mentor these days (who would have thought it?!) see my clients at the clinic, get the venues sorted out for the rest of my courses, decide on long term goals, book my flights for Australia for training updates and train increadibly hard to get my head back into a place of normality! Thing is - it sounds like a lot and the reality is that I will already know the answers, I just have to extract them from my unconscious mind which is what I do with clients every day! Physician heal thyself eh?!
So, back to work, cheerybye until tomorrow
Be well, be excellent and be you.
