"The Chinese have two brush strokes to write the word 'crisis'.
One brush stroke stands for danger; the other for opportunity."
- John F. Kennedy
We all experience times of transition or crisis, and in these moments we have choice: How am I going to view this? Do I really want to do this alone? What resources do I have around me? How can I resource myself so I can navigate this new landscape with wisdom and courage?
"Not knowing when the dawn will come,
I open every door."
- Emily Dickinson
Second Arrow Coaching's philosophy is one of acceptance -- of accepting what is, not punishing yourself with "shoulds" and shame. From that point, we can move forward differently. We can approach things in new ways rather than falling back on old coping mechanisms that might only give us a modified version of what we have.
There are things we are powerless over, but we do not have to collapse into hopelessness and despair. The pain you feel in that place can be a powerful messenger whispering, "Do you really want to stay here?" or "There is a way through this". This is the moment when we can reach out of our isolation.
Working together, we will go inside and embrace the power and talents within you. Together, in an atmosphere of non-judgment, we will view your life and patterns with curiosity and kindness. By accepting what is, by seeing the benefits where before you only saw difficulties, we can move forward with clarity, compassion and healing.
My mission is to help you get clear, gain the insight of seeing your life from another perspective, allow you to connect to your deepest passions and dreams, and support you in joyously embracing all the aspects of your unlimited life. I will provide you with tools and resources that can connect you to your authentic, resilient, and most powerful Self.
