"The most beautiful people we have known are those who have known defeat, known suffering, known struggle, known loss, and have found their way out of the depths. These persons have an appreciation, a sensitivity, and an understanding of life that fills them with compassion, gentleness, and a deep loving concern. Beautiful people do not just happen." Elisabeth Kübler Ross
Someone very dear to me, sent me this in a moment when I felt defeated and fed up, when I could not find the way out. It made sense instantly, this is why is important to talk to one's "support group". These people know stuff that I can not see, like in the exercise of the "Johari window", they see the "blind spot" of me. I am human, and because I am a counselor does not mean, I have all the answers. My only advantage is that I learn techniques and I use the tools on my self first, when the "experiment" shows positive outcomes, then change happens; which then allows me to grow more and understand a bit more about life.
These learnt techniques are the one's I share with my clients.
