What’s Calling Out to Be Seen?

I love working with the unseen. The grief we hold that we don’t often talk about, the anxiety we don’t let others see, the loneliness inside we carry by ourselves when we don’t know how to reach out to others.

 In a culture like ours where hustle culture, individualism, isolation are so encouraged, it’s so easy to feel alone and lonely. It’s so easy to struggle in silence. Our society makes it easy to push through. There are so many ways we may be grieving and not know it. There are so many experiences in life that leave us feeling sad or heartbroken, yet we rarely talk about them—often because they don’t fit into the conventional ideas of what we’re 'allowed' to grieve or mourn. This can be a job loss, the losing of an item that was so precious to us, the loss of somebody we weren’t very close with, yet they had an impact on our lives, watching a loved one slowly decline from illness, moving to a new city or country, the person we sat next to at work who’s now moved on to a different job.

 Something we may sometimes forget is where there is grief, there is also love. And my role is to make space for both to be honoured in our time together. To allow what’s calling to be seen, to come forward.
