Sungshim and John share in an ad hoc conversation about the importance of waking up to the unseen reality.
Therapy grants people an opportunity to learn how to pay attention to their inner world and be transformed from the inside out. The other option is to stay asleep and allow external forces to wake you up.
Life is a mixture of both, but we will have more freedom and power when we intentionally engage in mindful awareness practices.
Would you like to stay asleep for a little longer or wake up?
Trauma plays a part in our need for sleep, or to live in an automatic state of survival. Surviving is a good and beautiful thing, and yet, there are moments in life when we have the opportunity to be open, to learn, grow and heal. If the client and therapist discern, EMDR can play a role.
