Trigger warning: suicide.
I am probably an outlier in the mental health field.
The usual narrative is people find therapy helpful so they become therapists to help others (Not saying this is bad).
Mine is the opposite. It was the harm that I experienced and my cousin's suicide that draw me. I want to prevent harm and help others.
I am committed to increasing my level of consciousness.
@Roxanne Koh (Therapy Without Boxes) that's a BIG why! 😍
I guess I am weird as I am now because there is nobody in the Philippines who has short grey hair, wears no makeup, always wears a white blouse/ shirt, who talks about the different areas of small businesses that owners should focus on.
@Myrna Natividad that's great!
I can be very intense, very introspective. I am a bit over the top with my zest for wellness. I tend to be ready at a moments notice to jump on my portable and invisible soap box to rant about something that is needing to be changed in the world or in ourselves as humans. I suppose that can be annoying.
I can find myself funny and playful on a video when I am amused by myself. I guess what I am saying is I do not take myself too seriously even when I am intense. I embrace my weridness
@Donna Becker sounds like you're raring to go! Awesome, bring it!
My soft way of interacting may not be as compelling on video. One-on-one, I have a desired outcome, hold it loosely, and weave everything together in a way that works for the client. I just know how/where to go next. Not sure how to convey that on video. I leave space for my clients to speak about their sources of strength and knowing.
You might be surprised how many physicians use their intuition as a starting point and then substantiate their hunch with best practices- not what is talked about in medicine.
I am a little weird that I weave spiritual principles (human principles) into leadership development.
@Deborah Munhoz for someone with a soft style, check out "the cottage fairy" on YT. You might be inspired
Inspired by this nudge towards letting our freak flags fly, I made and posted this: https://www.instagram.com/r...
@Liz Moyer Benferhat this is great! Maybe it my connection, but the video paused briefly every 10 seconds. Is that happening for anyone else? I love your brave experimenting, go girl!

@Christine Weddle thank you! All good now
I'm looking forward to leaning in and finding my weird. I'm sure it's not far away, I've just been suppressing it to " fit in." Banishing that now....
