I have always believed in the invisible connections between people, and I think this can only happen when each of us connects with our inner self and takes care of our own growth. The better we know ourselves, the faster we evolve and adapt; the more we connect with our inner self and find freedom beyond the ego, the more those around us notice it, feel drawn to us, and begin to desire change themselves. This is the path of healing.
It is a difficult path, requiring effort and the use of resources, but it offers many benefits through improved quality of life, well-being, and a shift in our attitude toward life and others.
By changing beliefs about ourselves, altering the lens through which we see the world and life, updating the internal map that doesn’t match reality, bringing missing pieces into the present moment, and rewriting our life story, we can step onto a new path toward the self.
That is why a psychotherapist needs a great deal of attention, understanding, empathy, emotional intelligence, clarity in thought and action, critical and analytical thinking, acceptance rather than accusation, judgment, labeling, or withdrawal from the relationship, so that they can truly help a person create order and restore inner peace.
