Knowing You...

What can we gain by sailing to the moon if we are not able to cross the abyss that separates us from ourselves? This is the most important of all voyages of discovery, and without it, all the rest are not only useless, but disastrous.

THOMAS MERTON

Awareness

"Without awareness, we are not truly alive."

~ James F. T. Bugental, 1999, Psychotherapy Isn't What You Think, p. 257

When we share the challenges in our life with a counsellor it should be a partnership in which personal awareness is enhanced. Bugental once described the process as 'like the sport of curling.' The therapist sweeps in front of the stone clearing the way for the stone to utilize it's own impetus. If we become aware of our self,then we become truly alive. TJS
