First part of the session we were discussing, how she can go back to teaching career. But I could feel there is something else behind it. Something more deep and personal. And than the flow of session completely changed
⠀
17:25 Me: "If you start taking new education, what will you feel?"
⠀
Irina: "On one side I will be excited about this new opportunity, that it gives me. But on the other side I have this thought - oh, now I am trapped with this career only. Now I HAVE to do this"
⠀
And that's when we discovered her deep fear. She is afraid to be trapped. She is afraid to choose wrong path.
⠀
20:30 Me: "Do you really need to know, that this is what I am going to do for the rest of my life?"
⠀
Irina: "Maybe not. Maybe it's ok to change careers from time to time. Even if it's not forever, if it makes me happy now, why not?"
⠀
Magic words, isn't it? IF IT MAKES ME HAPPY NOW, WHY NOT?
⠀
Irina concluded our session like that: "I know, what will take me back. I know, how to do it. It's just me making it difficult. Changes are not scary. It's normal. It's ok, that my path is always different. And what I want is not hard to get"
⠀
That was a wonderful job with beautiful insights.
