I’ve often told myself there were
things I couldn’t do yet.
I am passionate about supporting families and children, but wasn't sure that my ideas were new or profound enough, so I kept waiting.
The internal discussion went something like this…”I’m not a
good enough writer.” “What if someone disagrees with me?” “What if I don't make sense?"…the list went on.
I am a Play Therapist, practicing
Synergetic Play Therapy (SPT). A main tenet of SPT is authenticity. I can be completely authentic with children, but with adults, can I
really do that? Am I being authentic if I keep waiting to be "my version of perfection" before I move forward?
Being authentic requires being vulnerable. Being vulnerable,
brings up all those hidden thoughts that are grounded in shame. I'm chosing to try to be authentic, imperfections and all.
