The Brave One's Journey

At the end of the session, I was happy to feel my inner energy, to realize that I can stand up on the inside, and at the same time to have enough inner wisdom to deal with my own issues, and to experience the wisdom of dialoguing with my own self.

At the same time, I found that I had a new understanding of “coaching”, which seemed to provide me with a new way to get along with myself, as if I had split off another self from my own body, and could quietly and compassionately watch my own body as it slowly solved the puzzle. I was able to quietly and compassionately stand by and watch my being slowly solve the puzzle. In this coaching session, instead of Helen being the coach, I realized that she played the role of another me, accompanying me to solve the puzzle with gentleness, compassion and patience, and after I experienced this way, I became clearer about how to talk to myself and how to mobilize my inner wisdom to respond to the issues. Of course, in addition to being open and brave enough to face the issues, Helen may have used many techniques and methods that I was not aware of, which made my path of discovery seem so silky smooth.

If I were to give this coaching a name, I would say it is “The Brave One’s Journey of Breaking New Ground”.
