BE GENTLE WITH YOURSELF – YOUR LIFE CAN BE BETTER THAN EVER BEFORE After any traumatic experience there is a period of natural regeneration, just like you might find after a bush fire. Plants grow back lusher, seeds are spread wider, fertilizer is composted quickly on the ground, ash adds valuable nutrients. Our hearts, minds and bodies come back into alignment just as in nature. I often use these metaphors as a way to understand and allow the process to be easier. WELL-BEING IS OUR NATURAL STATE ~ ER
