The Quest for MORE! When All You’ve Ever Wanted Isn’t Enough
In fact, that is the most critical piece of any healing and growth process, whether it is letting go of the ever-present quest for more or the healing from past trauma. When I get people coming to me, telling me they are stuck in their self-work or when I have a client who doesn’t want to go deeper and is resisting, it is invariably being driven by an inability or an unwillingness to identify and put words to the real, deepest issue that is operative in this situation. There is either something they can’t see or something they really, really don’t want to look at. Thus, my work is to help them see and say. Scary as that can be, there is almost nothing more liberating than the final awareness and articulation of deep and powerful truths.
This is the power of “naming the beast.”
