Letting go and making a new start
You have probably reached an end point and are at an impasse. A relationship crisis, a painful loss or a stressful illness often brings with it the desire for a change of direction.
Are you at a turning point and saying: “We can’t go on like this?”
What is the taboo?
What is holding you back from recognizing your truth and freeing yourself from blocking beliefs and entanglements?
You have probably reached an end point and are at an impasse. Often a relationship crisis, a stressful illness or a loss brings with it the impending change of direction. Sometimes it is also an inner call that prompts you to break new ground and the question arises: What should happen next? You want some direction. One that frees you from the awkward situation you find yourself in and shows you the next steps.
Embarking on a journey - going your own way
It may be half a lifetime before you let go of your emotional baggage and set off. It doesn’t matter when this time comes, and you don’t need a plan. All you need is determination: to set off step by step into unknown territory and begin to open up to your feelings and trust your inner compass.
You stop hiding behind reservations and apparent certainties, take off the shoes from your childhood that have become far too small and dare to try something new. The greatest adventure and the bravest journey you embark on in life is the one to yourself.
It is helpful to have an experienced travel companion at your side. Someone who uses their heart as a compass, who is familiar with adverse weather conditions, who has also gone astray and who knows how to tame unbending demons when fears and doubts make it difficult to move forward on the path; because there are many obstacles to overcome on your inner journey – above all your own illusions and rising resistance.
The wisdom of not knowing
When I was in a mental crisis myself, I felt my vulnerability and also the difficulty of accepting help.
Despite my many therapeutic training and further education courses, I had neither answers nor solutions – I didn’t know what to do. My experience is that an inner wisdom unfolds in not knowing. We find the answers when we are ready to let go and open up to our own truth.
