We are going on a metaphorical journey to meet FUTURE YOU! Does that sound crazy? I promise it’s not. This would probably make an excellent walking pep talk, btw.
Whatever has happened up until now, whatever tools you’ve been working with and whatever skill level you’ve had, all these things have shaped and created present day you, and while present day you is NOT broken, chances are you are not operating at the highest possible version of yourself that you can imagine. Most of us operate at the lowest possible version of ourselves that we will accept. FUTURE YOU serves two functions - 1) it gives you the option of raising your own standards and 2) it lightens your load so that actually achieving those standards becomes possible.
If you've experienced trauma or abuse, counsellors will often suggest the use of a 'container' to hold thoughts, beliefs, memories, that you don't feel equipped or ready to deal with on your own. It is meant to be a temporary holding space so your brain doesn't feel constantly hijacked. FUTURE YOU is my version of 'container'.
