What is happening in your life that makes you feel like that?
· Redundancy
· Divorce/separation
· Parents dying
· Children leaving home
· Moving house
· A new job
· Coming out as your true self – perhaps in respect of your sexual or gender identity.
I wonder whether this change in your life feels exciting, sad, terrifying, just part of life, lonely or a mixture of many emotions.
Nobody but you knows the level of intensity of those emotions. I wonder if you are you carrying the weight on your own or expressing them to someone you trust. Or perhaps you are suppressing them – even from yourself.
There is a difference between that sense of coping, because life goes on and you have to, and suppressing what you truly feel. Speaking out loud what you are going through, whether it is a relatively small matter that causes a large reaction in you or a large life change, can be freeing. Somehow, hearing your voice say what your emotions are, empowers you to make a choice as to how you react. Following that you are better able to make choices.
Speaking these things out in the presence of a carefully listening coach or a wise and trusted friend, can increase confidence in your own decision-making.
