Corona Virus has been a main theme through most of this year, as has racial injustice. And now we Californians also face serious wildfires in our beloved forests. With an important presidential election coming up as well, it’s a combination of factors that make almost everyone uncomfortable - and that’s besides dealing with in one’s private issues and concerns.
2020 seems to be taking a toll on everyone. Even if you feel luckier than some people, issues that once could be ignored may seem inexcapable. Relationships at this time may become more intense - or seem to simply disappear. This “new normal” is not what we were hoping for in the new year!
However, this has also been a year of great opportunity. Because non-essential distractions have largly fallen away, one’s inner world - with its unresolved issues mysteries and conflicts - may be more present. You may find that there is no time like now to begin working on yourself.
Practicing now by phone, I have seen my clients make remarkable growth and change this year. If you think this might be a good time to see someone, you are probably right. Now is a good time to take stock of where you are today and lay plans for where you would like to be in the future. And you don’t have to do it all alone.
