The answer is the question!
What is the question? There are so many. Why won’t my back stop hurting, why am I sick all the time? Why am I so tired? Allowing the questions to surface is the way to grow and change. Answering the question too quickly for someone else may not be helpful, in fact, may hinder the natural progression of healing. Listening and waiting for your own response is extremely helpful.
Example: When a client comes in with pain, seeking help, immediately I think of a dozen things I could do to help them. I am a trained nurse and somatic educator and therapist. Instead, I suppress my need to know the answer and allow them to come up with their own movements, their own solutions. I do offer assistance in the form of options, when someone is stuck, but ideally, they become empowered when thinking for themselves. Listening to inner guidance is a much more sustainable skill to learn, then having to come to me to find their own way.
