The word I was thinking about in terms of the work you do is “catalyst.” The strict definition of “catalyst” is a substance that initiates or accelerates a chemical reaction without itself being affected. It also can mean something that causes an important event to happen.
That’s how I think of you. Everyone is looking for a catalyst in their lives that fits in with whatever else they are doing, that accelerates the good stuff in their lives and causes other good things to happen, while the “catalyst” remains unchanged and unaffected.
So when I was in psychotherapy dealing with some difficult emotional issues, working with you allowed me to release some of the emotional pain around those issues and move forward. You didn’t ask questions which I appreciated. You were focused on what you do. I continued working with you and moved into meditation. Meditation was a good thing for me and a further improvement in my life. The work I was doing with you accelerated my positive experience of mediation and my mediation enhanced the work I was doing with you, but you stayed the same. I continued working with you and moved into Pilates. Same thing. Throughout the whole process of working with you, I’ve become pain-free, and physically and emotionally more aligned and balanced. Throughout these phases, you’ve been supportive and positive in a pleasantly detached way about the various things I’m doing without getting personally involved or trying to influence me or changing how you work with me. You’re a catalyst!
