Empowering Women
Women possess, intuitively, everything they need to know to live satisfying, joyful lives. A collective unconscious, fully operative and alive lies deeply buried inside. For generations society has ‘turned women's heads', distracted them so that they no longer know how to access this knowledge they carry. Why this distraction happens is a case for the sociologists. Suffice it to say that it happens and because of it, women (and many men as well) operate on what they see and hear rather than what they feel, what their minds and bodies are telling them. Most women today, from my years of experience do not know how to begin to tap into this innate knowledge, let alone use it.
To paraphrase Pinkola-Estes, in her book Women Who Run With the Wolves,
we learn that counseling should apply to the total being: body, heart, mind and soul. I counsel women who are brave enough to say that in their secret lives, they want more. Do you feel that you are stretched too thin? Have you forgotten how to create, to have fun, to get dirty, to laugh, to cry or to growl? As in Estes book, I try to offer women the insight they need to be whole again.
