Basically, my job is to help the client see things as they really are.
There's no need to add anything from myself. On the contrary, I try to remove all the unnecessary parts. Metaphors encourage us to notice what is already there, even if it's not obvious. Questions lead us to paradoxes, promising new meaning.
But for this approach to work, my perspective must remain clear. A professional photographer carefully ensures the lenses are clean. During a session, my task is to disappear, becoming an effective tool, like a magnifying glass.
Everything else, reality handles on its own. False beliefs melt away in its light, like dew in the sun. Reality then provides the energy to transform stifling carbon dioxide into life-giving oxygen.
To understand this, remember how your injuries heal. You can assist your body with medicine, diet, and rest. Or you can hinder it with smoking, alcohol, sugar, and so on.
In any case, the process of regeneration happens on its own.
Within each of us is this fundamental drive for life. Like a mother wolf, it pulls us, foolish pups, towards growth, away from troubles.
Yet we always think we know best. So, again and again, we get ourselves into some kind of trap. The solution is simple: start letting go of illusions and face reality head-on.
If we don't complicate it, healthy living is essentially simple.
Sincerely yours,
-Alexander
