In today’s episode of the Tranquil Awakenings Podcast, Debbie will be in conversation with Jack Brown a person-centred therapist who integrates CBT into his work.
At school Jack had a deep sense of empathy, feeling his mission was to help others. He did not however know what to do with that. After commencing several careers, Jack found his calling in becoming a therapist.
As part of his journey, Jack had to work on his self-esteem and fear of judgement, learning to embrace himself, taking a different path from the forces background in which he grew up. Through this exploration Jack learnt to focus on the goodness in the world, and each individual, having faith that we all have the ability to tune into our inner wisdom, transmuting darkness into Light.
KEY TAKEAWAYS
- We tend to play roles within our life based on circumstances and the expectations of others.
- Societal expectations can draw us away from our purpose.
- When going on a spiritual or healing journey it is also important to consider what will help you to remain centred.
- It is important to allow yourself to feel and experience your emotions.
- It is important to feel safe within the therapeutic dynamic.
- Small positive steps, combined with the right intentions, can produce a big change.
- Emotions are there to provide messages of either what we need to change or what we need to seek more of within our lives.
- Intuition can steer us in the right direction and tapping into it becomes easier as you clear your baggage.
BEST MOMENTS
- “I've almost seen life as a pantomime with the different roles people play.”
- “But I wanted to know people's stories. I wanted to know Tina's story from the over 50 swim every week. How is she since moving here from the Isle of Wight, you know, and hearing her struggles.”
- Because I do believe we all have this internal wisdom. Every single person. I had the internal wisdom all along. I had to connect with that.”
- “And I believe in people. I believe people are inherently good. And I believe people have the answers within themselves. And it's my mission to help them find those answers.”
- “We're always changing and always evolving and we have to embrace that. We have so many layers, don't we?”
- “You know, there's always a dark side to the moon when you're a spiritual person. And I'm always aware of that. It's always with me, always in my peripheral.”
- “I always encourage people to face that fear. Fear wants to give you nothing. Fear wants to hold you back, you know, you have to work through that and embrace the journey.”
