Have you ever felt the tireless inkling inside that there is more to you? Are you feeling stuck or dissatisfied with your current life and feel you might have something more to offer to the world and yourself? Perhaps something new is trying to emerge for you, but you do not know yet what that is and how to approach it?
You might be baffled to fathom that therapy and human potential go hand in hand. After all, therapy might appear as a space where you can bring the issues that are bothersome and hope for some sort of resolution, insight, alleviation of what is troubling you at the time. It can also be true that therapy is not the first thing that might pop into your mind when you are struck by a new dilemma, difficulty or need to develop a new skill.
However, therapy is much more multidimensional as a process than many people believe. It is not only a place where you can share your emotions, thoughts and experiences. It is a vast but intimate microcosm between you and your therapist that brings forth your personal life, events that formed who you are, a vast array of emotions that you never thought existed. All is welcomed.
You might be asking how then this might be related to human potential or more so, my own potential?
First of all, when I think of potential I think of who may I possibly become or what can I develop within myself. Therefore, potential for me is directly related to self-development. Therapy is one of the ways in which you can develop yourself from within. Here's how.
That all might sound too good to be true, but therapy is an environment where this is possible. Of course, as for everything, the process requires motivation and dedication. However, the reward is greater self-knowledge and greater self-mastery over previous feelings of helplessness. Another side effect of therapy is that you do start seeing more choice available to you where previously there seemed to be none. As the great psychologist Abraham Maslow said: "What a man can be, he must be". And therapy is one of the ways you can come closer to choosing exactly that.
