reality check
Learning more about the rapid resolution process means getting more useful with what people need assistance with.
The rapid resolution therapy techniques are seeping into my every day and I'm finding that it's being effective in the world of addiction that I work in, and for people in general. In fact, the more I learn about addiction and what people go through, the more I see that it's misconception and judgement that colour people's view of others in that situation and that habit of shame and self-judgement can be as difficult to break.
Drugs and alcohol have the potential to ruin lives and take lives and carry such a stigma that the stigma itself can keep people locked into shame, self-judgement and repeating the cycle. I'm chuffed to be able to help change perspectives about people's own value and worth. I've been using RRT to help people feel ok about the task of freeing themselves from addiction and with the motivation to find what matters to them in their lives. It can be such a tangle of emotions and stuckness. It's such a pleasure to do this work and it is actually fun!
To be in working with the 'real', 'gritty' side of life feels important to me. There is all sorts of beauty and human truth to be found there, just like there is in working with the natural world - in fact they are one and the same.
I am very grateful to now be making a difference for people so quickly in ways that amaze and delight me and others. I want to share some feedback I got from a participant Shona, from a recent simple but powerful session we had. I hope to share more feedback soon:
I remember having a rush of happiness during the session and that hasn’t changed. I feel so much more peaceful and freer than I have done in years. And I’ve had so much energy.
I was a little nervous before the session as I didn’t know what to expect. But there really was nothing to be afraid of. No awkward questions to answer and no delving into events of my life that could have led to my need to hoard things.
I have now de-junked all of my attic rooms, something I’ve been trying to do for years.. No one can believe the change in me and how much I’ve achieved. I just don’t feel so attached to it anymore.
The only thing you need to do is open up to the possibility that it could help. It seems incredible to see how such can be achieved in an hour of your life but it has. And best of all, it’s been fun!!!. I’m in total awe of this and will continue working with Alan on other areas I’m stuck with. - Shona
I'm still doing free sessions till the end of August, although I'm currently booked up until the end of July. Get in touch if you want to give it a go for free. There's no need to let emotional stuckness get in the way of what you do. It can be shifted quickly and painlessly.
My retreat is happening this weekend too. Still room for last minute people - the forecast looks good! https://endless-river.org/nature-retreat-2023/
