I sure hope you do not agree with everything I say.
Think for yourself.
God gave me my brain and God gave you one that works equally well …
Maybe better,.
But I know one thing, if one of our brains was enough,
one of us would not need to be here.
And we both are.'
So there!

Just because I centered that and put it in a quote box, does not make it a poem,

Nor does this, this.

Only a few things are true today that were not true yesterday.
Some are getting more attention.
Nothing was true yesterday that is not still true today.
That's true – now about TRUTH:
IT has always been the same

and always will be

no matter what is "true" at the moment.

I like to do coaching – even when there is pathology involved.
We all have pathos eating at us.
But also, even the most contorted soul has real strengths.
And when our own strengths are inadequate – and they are …
There is God's strength from which all strength comes.

I had some physical therapy a while back. Some was for balance because I needed more.

Some was for range of motion because I was losing it.

Some was for pain management and I was grateful for it.

It gave me tools to practice outside of the session. I am still using those tools and they help a lot.

Is therapy, on every level, about empowering people with the skills to manage their own lives, bodies, minds, emotions, and relationships?

If so, might coaching and therapy have similar goals – one coming from a deficit perspective and the other from strengths?

I think I know.

Assume less than you suspect.
Inspect even what you expect.
Squint the eye examining minutia.
Ask more questions than you answer.
Preface your declarations with wiggle room for change of mind and heart.
And yet, somehow, live with confidence.
Learn trust.
Relax and believe hope.
