She was finding it hard to adjust back to life. In the previous session, I asked her to take a zoomed out view and see what season of her life she was in currently. She struggled this and drew a blank. <br><br>Given what we were discussing, I suggested for her to consider that this might be a period of Bridge-Cossing. And if she agreed with this perspective, it meant that this bridge-crossing chapter is <em>transitory<\/em>, and that she might need to give herself some time to re-adapt. <br><br>Instead of pushing herself crazy, I later learned that this subtle shift of framing allowed her to listen to her needs at this phase of re-adaptation, and freed her to be more psychologically flexible as she took the time to find her feet on the ground again.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-spacer\" style=\"height: 50px;\" aria-hidden=\"true\">\u00a0<\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">A Reason to Think in Seasons<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Understanding the current season you are in helps you figure out where you are at, in order to know where you need to go. Appreciating the seasonality of your inner and outer life provides you a navigational guide as to where you need to nurture your nature. In this video, I provide a way to open a conversational doorway about this with your client, so as to provide focus and directionality of the therapeutic endeavour.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-spacer\" style=\"height: 50px;\" aria-hidden=\"true\">\u00a0<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>\u23f3 Time Stamps:<br><\/strong>1.
