Everybody has his or her prejudices. Everybody judges.
Within the wellness industries, we all have our perceptions of what is serious and what is cheesy, what is valid and what is kooky. And that’s particularly the case with choosing, if we choose at all, those people, or rather professionals, who we seek out to offer support.
Depending on whom we talk to and depending on the stage in the process, they might tell you something works or they might tell you that the same thing doesn’t. They may celebrate therapy, but shy away from coaching; they may advocate for acupuncture but have an aversion to homeopathy; they may encourage volunteering but tend to avoid people. It’s all terribly woolly, and somewhat confusing. Because all those things could switch around, the negatives becoming positives depending on whom you are having the conversation with and when. The supports, the strategies and the systems that we choose to negotiate our lives are this particular and this personal.
Joe’s Daughter is about sampling these different approaches. This week we’re going to focus on those methods that are based on being one-to-one with another person; someone who is there solely for you, whether for a half-hour burst of planning or the full therapeutic hour. We aim to offer up the different philosophies, and the people behind these, until it’s possible for us to sample on an individual level and to build one’s own, unique, life practice.
