Just a little counseling insight from this past month talking with, listening to, and dialoguing with, other poems and people, cities and places….

What people are really like in their eternal spiritual selves! I always try to see that when i’m working with where they are at now.

It’s not idealism. It’s not just, I wish they could be like that, it’s sight into what they really are. Maybe it’s easier to see others whole, than ourselves! We need each other, it seems!

It’s trying to contextualize the current versions of us, in the larger story. Once i see a person, more as they really are becoming, they are always taller and more themselves, and usually filled with kindness of being. It helps me work with myself and them, where we are at. To heal is to be made whole. When I see someone more whole, i’m able to listen them towards that taller expression of themselves. Maybe that’s the goal of counseling.

Anyways, i enjoy seeing people as more themselves, and helping them move towards it. One of my favorite parts of helping others become! Hope i am getting to be more myself as I do!
