I just wanted to share this with you. Yesterday I was editing a podcast conversation with someone with bi-polar and realised how my energy had entrained to his after a 5-10 minute initial conversation. Normally when I do the introduction I do so fairly slowly, this time it was fast. We were both grounded and present, but his energy was fast and he spoke very fast. It was an interesting to see this after the fact.
In the conversation he shares how the survival part of him convinced a psychiatrist he was OK, how transition is a issue and how words such as recovery and fixing took him away from healing. It was natural metaphors that supported him to start to heal. It was a wonderful and insightful conversation.

I screen recorded this for you guys because I know many of you are not on Facebook. This is Chris Waters - I’ve quoted her here before. She’s an amazing woman and yes, I got a text message right in the middle of it but that’s typical isn’t it? So when you hear my signal for a text message just push through it because it’s worth it xx
