Sometimes my blue heeler walks into the bathroom while I’m shaving. Looking in the mirror, I see an unfamiliar dog. He looks a lot like mine in size and coloring, but something about him is fundamentally wrong. Immediately, both curiosity and anxiety are awakened. The reflection merely flips the image horizontally. But such a small thing is enough to turn a familiar “object” into a stranger. I see him with new eyes. His coloring and gestures suddenly reveal patterns that I had not noticed before. In banality, novelty opens up to me.
This is why I appreciate the sessions with my therapist. At least once a week I have a chance to get a different perspective on myself. The therapist, like a mirror, “only” flips the picture 180 degrees. What has been seen cannot be unseen. Slowly I begin to change.
In business therapy, my ideal is to help the tech founder get something out of nothing, one out of zero, to find a breakthrough solution at almost no cost. After all, often what we need most has been waiting patiently at our fingertips for a long time.
Sincerely yours,
