“The personal cannot be divorced from the professional,” says author Parker Palmer.[1]<\/span><\/p>\n

While we teach methods leading to competencies as a psychotherapist. In order to ignite the work within the walls of “professionalism”, we must not forget to go inward and bring forth our personhood into the partnership.<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

We can’t be “professional” in any real endeavor, without digging into our souls and unearthing the toil from our lived experiences.<\/span><\/p>\n

\n

To be a professional, we must get personal.<\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

To be personal, we must have a dose of professionalism in the way we tend to our personal lives.<\/span><\/p>\n

When we take the courage to not divide the person from the professional, we have to see that we are not mere technicians, slaying our clients with cutting-edge <\/span>evidence-based<\/span> practices. We can’t just do CBT\/EFT\/ACT or another one of the approaches unto our clients. We enter into the conversational nature of reality formation. In turn, we have to see – and convey a knowing – that our clients have inner lives as well.<\/span><\/p>\n

Like a fruit is dependent on the growth of the tree, the way that we can excel in the craft of therapy is to nurture the roots from within.<\/span><\/p>\n

The Greeks call excellence<\/em>,\u00a0\u00a0arete<\/strong> (Greek: \u1f00\u03c1\u03b5\u03c4\u03ae): “The capacity to intensify a passion for excellence…”<\/span><\/p>\n

May we come to see the person and the professional as one and the same.<\/span><\/p>\n
