I’m sitting in my therapy room across from a young woman. She is relaxed in the chair, her arms open and loosely moving as she speaks to me—a transformation from the tension and nerves of her first session. We have only had a dozen appointments. She looks into my eyes and starts to nod and smile as she says, ‘You know what?
I know it’s going to be hard, but I know I can do it.’ My eyes sting, and I swallow. The smile sweeps across every muscle in my face. She has felt the shi, and now so have I. She came into this room some time ago, fearful of the world and everything she had to face. Pervasive self-doubt led her to feel dread for every new change and challenge.
She left therapy that day with her head held a little higher. Not because of me. I have no magical ability to heal anyone or change their life. She had not needed years of therapy that unravelled her childhood. In this situation, as in many others, the major part of my role was as an educator.
I passed on insights about what the science says and what has worked for others. Once she understood and started using the concepts and skills, a transformation began. She felt hope for the future; she started to believe in her own strength. She started dealing with difficult situations in healthy new ways.
