I think people learn how to have a balanced life, which is a bit of an overused word now. I think what my clients learn to see beyond first appearances of what's going on in their life. It's not uncommon for clients to come to me hating their jobs, but they are not ready to leave. I had one guy in particular who got fired from his job. He called me panicking and I congratulated him. He stopped mid-sentence because it baffled him that I would congratulate him. Some people would say the universe was lining up to give him what he really wanted which was a new job. He can't get a new job if he already has one.
We actually sometimes sabotage the gifts that come our way because we're afraid of them. With that awareness we can change things, because awareness is curative. You don't change anything if you don't see anything to change. I help my clients see another way of looking at things. We were brought up to believe that we are victims in this world. We forget who we are and start to judge or start to feel attacked. When we start to feel weak, we start to attack back. It's just a sick cycle.
