LIMINAL STATE COUNSELLING
LIM·I·NAL
Occupying a position at, or on both sides of, a boundary or threshold.
Relating to a transitional or initial stage of a process.
I think some of the toughest parts of life, can be times when we're between one thing or another. Whether we're between the start of something or the end like at the start of our busy day or the end of a relationship; between roles in our life, like going from parent mode to work mode, or parent to spouse, or student to professional; between getting along and arguing, loving someone or grieving what was, grieving a life, a feeling of safety, a love, something that never was; experiencing these parts, and so many others can be so hard. From feeling emotions, of stress, overwhelm, frustration to happiness, joy, to noticing thoughts, meanings, values, and an ever-evolving sense of self.
In counselling, there's this quote, from Dr. Dan Siegel,"name it, to tame it", a simple notion that can lead to transformation, healing, and change. By naming, understanding, and processing how we feel, we often move towards greater self-awareness, confidence, and connection with ourselves and our loved ones. In honour of this notion, I called my counselling practice "liminal state" to help name how mixed it can feel to be at the start, between, end or moving from one thing to the next.
By starting or restarting your journey in counselling, you are honouring your self, your experiences, your loved ones. And creating a space where you may slow down to name, understand, organize and process parts of your life. To further connect with your self, others, and what you truly want for yourself and your relationships.
