I can agree with the idea of the impetus towards growth being inside each person -- I think you and I have talked about this together before and Maslow's ideas about this. I also like the idea of the drawing a circle around the person who's being healed. I wonder how the work that I want to do coincides with this. I've talked with you about how I see counseling as being more like a traditional healing than medical healing, and as the counselor, I'm responsible for creating that safe space -- the circle to hold the healing. As you mentioned, I tend to see the healing as being held within the person rather than me. So often, I think I'm just the witness, the coach, the midwife. Or at least I will be when I figure out how. :) Rachelthisisbeautifulhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18443794954477320819noreply@blogger.com
