I did different things in my life. I studied and was lazy, built a family and gave up this business without being able to manage it, lay in depression and cried from happiness looking at some bush of some lilac. Those feelings on the edge, those ups and downs, and so much more have made me who I am. And in the sense of a profession, it made a psychotherapist.
I worked with addicted people in drug centers and with conditionally healthy people who simply could not cope with life alone. To the first, usually beautiful posters promised unearthly happiness immediately after stopping use (although often it was precisely because they were too far from happiness that they came to chemical dependencies), to others it seemed that as soon as this or that problem went away, life would become magical. And every time I felt that something important was slipping away from me.
It was not easy for me myself, and it was difficult to survive as a winner. That’s why I know well what it’s like when things don’t go as planned. And it is especially scary when there seem to be no visible reasons, and as a result, neither society nor close people can understand, accept, or support you. It’s just bad inside and that’s all. And when the phrases “take yourself by the hand, it’s hard for you and this” can make you move your legs for a while, but they can’t make you want to do it. When the tunnel at the end turns into a black dot instead of the promised ray of light…
I was there. And it was scary. But there is a way out. And I came out alive. And now I know how. And this is where I can be useful and effective. How to stay in a relationship and not lose yourself, how to find new meanings in life if there is nothing left of the old ones, how to start anything at all. Just starting a new profession, a new relationship, a new life, how to find yourself and how to stop in time. Because if you believe that we all fit into a long line of the same problems that someone already had, then sometimes you don’t need to think like an arranged violin, but it is enough to find someone who will teach you to play it.
And then life will sound differently and this sound will come into harmony with the voice that comes from inside us and it will become music that creates and gives life and then it will become clear that you are a part of this world, that it has accepted you, that you have become one with it wave and you will feel what happiness it is to be at least somewhere in the world than to never be anywhere.
