On 22nd March 2018 I had the pleasure of presenting this talk to an audience of counsellors and counselling students at Tyne Met College.
Would you rather have your problems right in your face or at a more manageable distance?
If you look at your passport or your driving license you can see your name and your photo.
If you burnt the toast this morning as you were making breakfast you could say that you blamed yourself for the mistake.
Some people feel like they are making no progress in their therapy or self-development.
Tend to the moments, and the years will take care of themselves.
People often feel stuck. Stuck with a problem, not able to change the way that they think, feel or act because they are depressed, or their relationship is broken, or they can’t overcome their resistance.
We have a love affair with miracles. Most of us have been brought up on a diet of miracles in our fairy stories, our religious traditions and popular culture.
