I find myself talking about this with my clients a lot. Just like the idea of we don’t know what we don’t know, when we are accustomed to chaos, peace feels threatening. The challenge lies in being willing to take the risk and stay there long enough to acknowledge this feels scary and weird, but I think I like it!. The more we give ourselves permission to do that the more options will unfold. And the more we are open the more we give ourselves the chance to see those opt...ions and more opportunities to try them out. #affectivemovementcounseling #sensingsaturdays

For those that have ADHD, this hits home.

"Change causes fear, and fear causes responses in ourselves and those around us we might not expect."
