Last therapy session (for now)

In the midst of writing projects and preparing events, I had my last therapy session. It was perfect timing. With all the things that I've been working on since last week, I had a chance to see how the tools that I developed in these 6 sessions work in practice - 10 minutes of quiet time and checking in with myself. And they do work. I’ve never been more emotionally balanced and well hydrated & fed on a day split between writing funding applications and getting ready to facilitate an event.

I’ve learned a lot about myself. Discovering the Enneagram theory personality types has been extremely helpful for me, especially because I always like to improve. That’s exactly what the Enneagram is about - identifying your blind spots and practising ways to work with them. From a workaholism perspective, I would slowly identify myself as a work-passionate or a work-enthusiast. Of course, my work is infinitely important to me, but now there’s space for emotions and movement.

There’s definitely more that I’d like to explore in therapy. It’s also very important for those of us who work with other people’s souls and well-being (e.g. youth workers) to make sure that WE are okay first. Of course, when I decide to book some more sessions, I will be writing about them here!
