Getting in your head

A client and I were recently discussing some strategies she was using when trying to figure out how to respond to her ex- husband. I had you in my head, she said, I knew what you would say to me. I laughed and said that is the biggest compliment you can offer me. 

I actually hear that a lot and it makes me chuckle. It is not because I  feel overly confident about my perspective, advice or knowledge. In fact, my hope is that the questions we raise together are what sticks. The questions are used to get to the truth, to help my clients get to what they really want. The questions lead to a deeper inner knowing and that is what I hope for them to lean into and rely on. 

So when they are saying they have me in their head, it is really their own inner voice. I am just the guide who shows them how to hear that. I trust that we all know what we really want, and even more, what we really need. It takes a certain courage to listen. I offer them a safe place to try it out, so it is easier when they try it out with their loved ones. 

What are some questions you can ask yourself to get to your inner truth? What would feel good to admit to yourself and others?
