This has opened up such a lot, I am a recovering overthinker, not preparing is a challenge.

I have a client who loves to talk and gets into her story, our sessions always take so long and I feel tired usually, it’s like trying to get kittens to line up. To help me to keep her on track I really have tried to manage the time, to almost enforce a framework. It felt artificial and restrictive even if it achieved the goal of her getting what she needed and us finishing on time.

We just had our last session. I’d done my usual prep of reading through notes from before but that was it. I spent time getting myself comfortable, attending to wellbeing, resourcing myself and becoming present to the moment and trust.

I prefaced the session with we can ‘chat’ or we can have a powerful conversation, what do you choose? She sensed we were approaching the session in a different way and was open to co-creating that. We dropped into an amazing space. Lots of clarity, resolution and action steps for her and me feeling energised at the end. The session ended 15 minutes early!

Thank you, Michael, this is such a gift.

We have the powers but we need to be told by someone who knows the rules. Like a secret passage in a game or a card that you hold which allows you to do something extra. Once we know what they are we look for them and ask ourselves can I use this now?

My husband will also be thanking you too, as this will improve trips away. When he first met me I needed to pack the kitchen sink. I have got better over 22 years together! I sense this way of being aware of the vast well of wisdom-in-the-moment that’s available, will relax me into travelling light in more ways than one.
