There are two words I occasionally hear coming out of a client’s mouth, that fill my heart with joy.
The most recent time was with someone who’d had a few sessions with me, as I helped them to overcome a fairly recent traumatic event. It was something completely out of their control and a terrible experience that had been haunting them since.
The body was getting in on the action too, with physical symptoms, and it was all pretty rubbish, truth be told.
So we did what we do with Innate Health coaching: we spent almost no time at all looking at ‘the problem’ and lots of relaxed, fun time looking at the nature of experience itself (of which ‘problems’ are a trifling subset).
And things started to shift. Slowly at first, and then in every session, I’d be greeted with tales of personal change, delivered in such a matter-of-fact way, that I had to double check the facts.
😆
But then my client got ill.
Which brought back a lot of the physical symptoms—symptoms that had them climbing the walls when we first started—and as they lay there in bed, they had an insight. Quite possibly the biggest, most helpful one, yet.
They realised they were actually pretty much ok with it all. It didn't bother them any more.
What had previously been a problem, had stopped being an actual problem.
And as they were describing this transformative revelation to me, that’s when my two favourite words popped out of their mouth:
“Oh well.”

p.s. If you’d like problems that seem like problems to no longer look like problems (and therefore not be problems), well then, let’s have a chat → https://www.gilespcroft.com/individuals
