I remember in my practice, clients at times
would become so overwhelmed . With physical symptoms. With having certain
conditions. With really tough circumstances . And some of them made substantial
sacrifices to come for a half hour , learn ways to support themselves and
improve their health all month long , and then get worked on a little bit too.
It was a gift of an occupation .
They always needed honest support , being right in there with them so they weren't alone. Letting them know how really hard it was for them. And how absolutely beautifully they were doing , anyway . How conscientious or tireless or determined or tenacious they were.
And they often had this misunderstanding . They would be uncomfortable , and say to me 'But I'm not ALWAYS ________" this or that .
I'd say to them "Of course not . You wouldn't be human if you were always perfect and never ate junk and never acted like a jerk. It's ok. It's still all true . "
And they'd smile , I so remember that . With the realization that remarkable was actually exactly like them, the way they were. How they looked was exactly how powerful and strong and courageous and determined looks .
Because , you know , it's true.
