The assistance offered by Heart and Soul Coaching has been developed in answer to some of the most desperate questions asked by many people whose lives are themed by one or more chronic health conditions, pain and/or disability:
• How can I still enjoy a life of quality and meaning within the context of living with a chronic illness?
• How can I accept my permanent losses?
• Is there any meaning to my suffering?
• What lies on the other side of a changed life?
• If my full participation in life is no longer possible, what is still possible?
Permanent illness, pain and/or disability challenge just about all aspects of life to the extreme. From finances, social life, family roles, professional life, and domestic liveability, to self-esteem, future fears, mood swings, and life purpose; no area remains untouched.
In this program, we will address and work with your personal, direct experience of your condition(s), the many ways your life has been and is impacted, and we will find ways to bring in avenues of creativity, self-esteem, work and future direction.
Some passages from the program:
Rather than seeking out yet more medications, therapies, operations, and promises, your search now becomes how to live with your fate. And not only how to merely cope with your situation, but even, or especially, to bring renewed inspiration, creativity, expression, and life purpose into your changed life.
Within the person who is convinced that her life has collapsed, resides a healthy human being.
And this is also what enlivens the soul – to create and to be nourished and enriched by other people’s creations.
Your self-worth, which previously found its strength in what you did, now has to be found in more hidden realities. The ‘human doing' becomes a ‘human being'.
Hence, it is very important that you know and acknowledge your needs, since a working commitment that does not accommodate your needs will make you feel threatened, vulnerable and give you additional stress.
Added Value: Like all packages offered by me, each session of this program is accompanied by a detailed pdf document that will be sent to you in preparation for that session. In addition, as we progress, you have the option of being sent articles and reflections relevant to your particular needs from a considerable library of articles available.
N.B. If for reasons of unpredictable symptoms, fatigue and/or time zone inconveniences you are unable to commit to real-time video sessions, we can also work through this facilitated program entirely by email at a reduced fee.
