Mirrors of the Mind 2018
December 5th, 2018 adminOne of my photos was selected for Mirrors of The Mind 2018. Someone approached me about the caption beneath the photograph, and I thought I would share it here:
Therapy is about opening doors on each door is unique. Interior garden back into me. In my work, I hope to help others to discover the Freida territory that lies beyond the gates, walls and locks of the psyche. We often discover tragic neglect of the intended parts of the south. This saddens me and stirs my compassion. But I have learned I cannot rush in even though I yearn to relieve pain. I must stand respectfully at the entrance and take each step forward with the permission of the other. After all this is another is this private world. I do not attempt to open doors uninvited. There is something sacred about that for me. It is a privilege to be granted entry.
Doors have always intrigued me, especially when they have a history. They hold so much promise and mystery. What lies beyond them? My mind associates Ainsworth.s attachment styles to each door. When my therapeutic partner begins to share my interest, appreciation and compassion for all that lies within the self, it is as if the doors slide open on their own accord, the magic mechanism. Neither of us is pushing. The door itself has life and will.
Strolling in the late afternoon in San Miguel D’Allande and discovered this doorway with its infinite textures, patterns, and striking colors coming together with perfect synchronicity. Similarly made those in my care discover the beauty that lies within them and feel enough safety and freedom to swing open their doors to the delight of self and others.
