Once you have flown, you will walk the earth with your eyes turned skyward;
for there you have been, there you long to return.
– Leonardo Da Vinci
Clients often ask: is it really necessary to go back in time and relive all the trauma that has happened to me in order to heal.
Just a few years ago therapist would have answered this question with a definitive: “yes!”
My opinion and experience on this subject is: yes it is good to go back in time and remember, but rather then remembering the trauma, reconnect with the joy filled energetic child you once were.
We all do have a memory of being whole and complete somewhere buried deep down.
“There you have been, there you long to return.”
Remembering this pure state of being helps you to know where you are ultimately headed on your healing journey.
