Facilitation of thoughts in therapy

Facilitating peoples' communication

LOL that's a statement and a half isn't it ....?

Funny though, because, a lot of therapy actually is just that.

Helping people sort out the thoughts that whirl around their heads, which can lead them up wrong paths and hearing them as they learn to discern what the more helpful thoughts are through bouncing back their comments and letting other ones permulate the air around them whilst they work out and process what they are saying.

Whether one person who wants to communicate better or a couple who want to re-ignite their communication - for a practice which has more talking from the client than the counsellor, the facilitating comes from holding the space that enables them to feel safe to tell me what's going on in their minds.

Just think how many times communication is at the centre of what is going wrong in your life today - and where that will lead to if it's not sorted - and, god forbid, how much money it's going to cost if it's not resolved and remedied.

We see on here and other social media forums the damage and division that can be caused by a badly worded comment or post - and the stakes are low - magnify that up to your work colleagues - your family - your friends - your partner and children.

Often the communication style we have is rooted in something we think we can't control - our past, our history, the events that have intertwined to make us how we are - and maybe we don't know how we are to others because of it - or, maybe we don't think that there's any way to change it ...........

Don't hold out - address those questions, have those conversations, and, most of all, unravel the tangle in your mind that makes your side of the communication and help yourself to peace and help others to communicate with you.
