Canned introductions are difficult. So lemme tell you a story… since I like stories.
A long time ago, in a galaxy far away I was speaking to a large group. I remember it vividly. My heart burned because what I spoke of mattered. I was fired up and so was the audience. I’d lay something out and they’d shout back. As the intensity grew, an awesome thing happened. I was no longer speaking to them – we were having a conversation – deep, shared, and oddly unspoken and understood. Overwhelmed I paused mid-thought, laughed, and exclaimed, “man, this is fun!” And on we went. An attempt to describe what it meant will only diminish it so I’ll just say that for me it was transcendent… and fun.
It’s moments like the one above that fuel my passion for therapy. Moments where what is happening is more than it’s component parts – a room, chairs, and a couple people talking. What’s more, it can show up in unexpected places. Sure it can happen in moments of wonder and insight. But it also happens in the middle of pain, problem solving, skills building or just… laughter.
