I was working with difficult and complex issues that I have held inside me for the majority of my life.
The whole process was presented so clearly and compassionately that I found it so much easier than I had expected, to engage and allow whatever needed to emerge and come into the light to do so.
I am actually fairly astounded at how whilst it could have been a distressing and emotional process - the way I was supported in taking responsibility for and making my own investigations has meant that I have actually made a great deal of progress in a fairly short period of time and have felt that my narrative was coherent and made sense. This was quite a surprise, because during previous attempts over the years to have therapy I became very distressed on repeated occasions and felt that I made no progress or sense, even to myself!
In many ways I had given up on ever being able to find a way through.
I think that having access to a listening ear in the one-to-one sessions at intervals throughout the Intensive was also really helpful. It was an opportunity to consolidate what was emerging for me and check in with an external view.
