Committing to therapy for myself was the best thing I have done, and none so much or so meaningfully as the therapy I undertook while training as a holistic counsellor and psychotherapist. It has given me a deeper understanding of myself and others, of the ways in which we are hindered and supported in our individual process of living, and what it actually means to 'heal'. In working on myself, I have developed a greater compassion. This was largely through one of the hardest things, which is to face those aspects of myself I denied or suppressed, otherwise known as shadow work (Jungian) and integrating them through awareness. This remains an ongoing process.
