Today I wanted to explore therapy (remember that on some level we are all nutters)
And just to make it clear, my mumble jumble point of views are in no way scientific, just me and my head and all the little fairys.
Anyway/ back on track (okay?). Ever thought about getting therapy- or heard someone say that they where receiving it or trying to get a referal, and you thought "Yikes", maybe even got slightly uncomfortable.
Everything is therapy. From Psychoanalysis and CBT, to Drawing class, watching the ocean or eating a sandwich on the undeground. And at different times we need different kinds, but we all do undergo them, and we all need them. At least the one that should take place in our head all the time. Growth, learning- whether it is about ourselves, our strenghts or limits, or how to be around others- how to be there for our friends. Even everyday body acceptance (look into the mirror, and your eyes when you feel the grosest) & Calming down...
And maybe you are one of those who have tried and simply can not find the focus, too many gremlins and cymbal playing monkeys in your head, don't worry- they are often taking over most of my inner peace too. But that my friend- acceptance, being there with yourself as you are, No Judgement and a new found closeness to yourself in the humour you see in you. That is therapy too.
I can't Yoga for all I know but I do Yoda.. I think.. And no I do not bring a cape and a cane (although that would be funny). I have no clue on how to muster my inner godess for more than a quarter of 10 minutes. And then I just sit there- do the moves somewhat uncrazefully.. but sometimes.. just once in a while, I love it anyway. Just getting myself into a room filled with people doing something good for themselves, the aura in that room, is really what I come there for. Same with dance, I'm not the best, and I can't keep up. But I go for the smiles in a room. And I find myself smiling too.
This brings me back to inner peace- it can be practiced anywhere, and It doesn't mean that your head has to find Nirvana. You can be right there, Cry, be angry, confused, laughing from your deepest belly or picking your teeth from yesterdays cupcakes. To be here with you. This is therapy too.
So, some things need a certain approach or technique, some might involve a professional, and those everyday ones (for all) involve you (with yourself). We all go to therapy everyday (or can- and should) and when someone needs tools- let's without judgement- support them through.
Today I'm going to a farmhouse zoo, with my friend and her 1,5 year old- That is therapy too.
Have an Insightful Saturday.
