Around the same time I started my own therapy I came across a pile of childhood photos stored high in a forgotten cupboard that neither my mother nor I had seen before.
 
My father was a keen photographer, keeping his 35 mm slides archived neatly in wooden boxes. I was very suprised to see myself as a lively, vibrant little girl, full of fun and life. I had forgotten that part of me almost completely and was amazed to look back at myself. As the photographs catalogued the process of me growing up it was noticeable that the joy-filled child became increasingly serious, sometimes wary and less outgoing. The inner light seemed to go out.
 
In therapy you come up against the most fundamental life questions:

• Who am I?
• What really matters to me?
• What are my real needs? How will I meet them?
• How can I live my life creatively to my full potential?
• How can I be with others and stay myself?
• How can I create relationships which are fulfilling and which give me freedom?
• How can I express myself fully and openly?

For me, therapy has been a way to reconnect with the energy, life and sense of fun of the little girl that I had forgotten, to find a way back to a more vital and deeper sense of myself.
