Is it draining to be a Therapist and Coach? Might you get bored of listening to me?
Listening to other people’s problems, a behind-the-scenes perspective.
"You're listening to
People's problems
All the time...
Doesn't it drain you,
To be a coach and therapist?"
I get asked this question
Very regularly.
My answer?
Sometimes,
For very specific reasons.
But mostly, It doesn't
Tire me at all.
Quite the opposite.
Why is that, dear fellow Inner Pilgrim?
Because
When you talk to me
About your problems
Your pain
Your confusion
Your hurt,
I am listening.
But what I am aware of most
Is your spirit underneath,
Your desire for change,
Your quest for deeper happiness.
I see your soul
Shining through.
You know that song
From India Arie
Being a Coach & Therapist
For me, feels like that.
I see
Your heart's desire
And the divine in you.
I am aware of
The person that's
Longing to come out
Into this world.
And I remind you
Of who you truly are,
Underneath all of the chaos.
I tease it out:
The creativity,
Hidden inside an
Overwhelmed mother.
The gentle kindness,
Trapped below
The burnout
Of a manager.
Watching your true nature
Gaining solid ground
Is the most energising
Most heartfelt,
Joyous wonder
And the biggest gift
My clients give me.
So is my job
Exhausting?
Draining?
Nope.
Absolutely not.
Because even though
I listen to every word
Of your problems
And your pain...
All along
I continue to see
Who you truly are:
A treasure
Going through
An alchemical process
Of turning lead into gold.
With love, Karin
