🙃 In the last week, working with a particular Client and a dear Sisterfriend has stretched me in ways I really did not take much stock of.before. This particular Client is a hurt person dealing with trauma and mental health issues. They can be verbally abusive and threatening, generally not willing but most times not able to own or understand the part they play in some of their current circumstances. The easier thing for her to do is shift blame and become belligerent. The easier thing to do is match her energy but it wouldn’t benefit me. So when she went on a tirade, I apologized for the sake of peace. In that moment, peace was more important than trying to make any point , which probably would not have been well received anyway.
With my Sisterfriend. She is a very sensitive soul, particularly at this time in her life because she is battling a serious health challenge. She is also dealing with the hurt of someone she took at face value as a sister who has been stirring up dissension amongst various individuals (hurt people trying to hurt other people). While the particular issue of my Sister’s hurt for some others would be seen as something that has already happened and move on from it and just put distance between the two, she is still living in the place of her hurt. I honor snd respect her place in my life as well as her experiences; at the same time it calls for me to dig deep each time to rehash the same situations and talk her through it, and offer the same advice regarding the situation. Understanding a bit of what she is going through, I have found myself stretching snd breathing through each stretch to walk with her through her points of hurt with love and patience. I don’t know when the breakthrough will come, but I honor her and walk beside her through it all as much as I am able to without losing myself in the process to her situation. *Thank you for patience. I hit send before I should have and then had to get some precious cargo out the door to school. 🙂
