Someone posted this quote on Mark Brady's blog and I loved it. It reminds me of not only mothering but also my work as therapist. I love my job.
“to listen another’s soul into a condition of disclosure and discovery may be almost the greatest service that any human being ever performed for another”
Quote from Douglas Steere, 20th Century Quaker writer…
Mothering, for me, has become my Dojo for sitting face to face with the young vulnerable self who I had neatly avoided but could no longer once becoming a psychotherapist and now mother of two. This blog is about my journey of healing and the profound role mothering is playing in that process.
