People come because they are in pain, if they knew how to ‘get over it’ they would do it.

People don’t come to me thinking,

‘I’d really like to clear the emotional impact of financial losses.’

They come because they are in pain.

They don’t say, ‘I would like to stop being so disturbed by this outcome, which I have been perceiving as a failure.’

Even though this is what I do.

They come because they are exhausted by trying to deal with it alone. They come because their relationships are suffering under the burden of secrecy and preoccupation.

We understand the wisdom of getting clear so that we can move on. We understand intellectually that this will help us look at our situation as it is, instead of through the lens of what might have been.

This is all true.

But this not usually how we experience the situation, which generally feels more like this:

– sense non-specific of doom or dread

– hopelessness and despair

– terror of the future

– lack of trust in self

– secrecy

– counting on a miracle

It is possible to clear all of this before you have restored your finances/professional standing. In fact, it’s much easier to recover once you have cleared out the emotional impact of what has happened.

I learned the long way round and wasted a lot of time and money in the process. You don’t have to.
