Your First Session as a Client

I often get asked, in a consultation call, about what to expect in the first session. What happens? What do we talk about? And it seems to me that the above quote " walking the mystical path with practical feet" is a really good description of that first session.

I am always curious as to what really lights a person's heart on fire. What gets them out of bed - or not - in the morning. What does their 'bigger world or community' look like? Who are their allies? The resources? Who has their back and loves them unconditionally. Big questions...often, in my experience, bordering on the mystical. The magic of life and circumstances, intersections and overlaps. 

And then the practical. When have you felt happy? What was happening in your life at that time? What did you feel or experience? Were other people involved or part of the experience. What can you do, now and every day, to create or recreate for yourself the good experiences. The question of 'what do I have to look forward to' this day? What brings you alive? 

I have had this quote in my mind for a number of years and although I certainly do not think of it every day, I often am reminded, with clients and for myself, how much I value this viewpoint. For life is made up, every single day, of both. The mystical. And the practical. 

If you are having trouble with mystical...or practical...or both, call/text me 360-432-1236. I am pretty good at both and would love to help you.
