My Approach to Helping
In my work with people I start by showing up. By that I mean I make a commitment to be present, to be myself and to be with them. I don't talk at people and I don't just sit and listen. I build relationships and out of that help folks look at their story. We live our stories everyday but the problem is that some of the strategies for living that we develop along the way end up not being very helpful to us. And sometimes are even harmful. Those strategies for living and the stories behind them make up what I call our Stuff. So I help people look at their Stuff--what it is, where it comes from and what can be done about it. I don't have all the answers, and I won't pretend that I do. But I'm not afraid to be with folks in the midst of whatever is going on in their life. And I'm also not afraid to offer hope because I think that there's real life and freedom available to all of us if we do the work to deal with the things that are getting in the way.
