Joy

October 3, 2016

As a carer, it has been validating as well as challenging, and a great support and safety valve at a difficult time in my life.

I found talking with James covering my still feelings of grief after the death of my first husband most rewarding. We also discussed my own mortality and the feelings surrounding it as I enter my 76th year, usually a taboo subject but now I feel much more comfortable facing my own death… a journey we all must make. Thank you James for your listening ear.

For me, James creates a very safe space where I know that I am listened to without judgement. He helps me to get in touch with the feelings that I struggle to express and uses approaches that push me towards finding the answers that I know are there but cannot always say out loud.

On reflection – using the sand tray – it takes me out of my head and into my heart.

James has helped me to identify and to express the thoughts and feelings I have, both positive and negative, in an atmosphere of acknowledgement and acceptance.
