Counseling can be simple but simple may not be easy

Counseling can be quite simple although simple may not be easy.

There are 2 key parts.

1. Helping our patients to defuse/zoom out and be mindful of their thoughts, feelings, and narratives in order to get more perspectives and more clarity.

2. Helping our patients to “zoom in” to what really matters to them with workability in mind and what they are truly in control of. Take action.

It’s a dance between 1 and 2 with 1 often the rate limiting step.

I wonder if you can relate….
