Psychotherapist, Gestalt Therapist Sydney.

When you were born you were given a bucket. At the bottom of this bucket rested crystal clear water that reflected back your true self. Over time other people and experiences put stones in your bucket. Some of your stones belong to other people and came from their imperfect ideas about who they thought you should be. Some stones were created by experiences you had that left you with with their weight because they were not nourishing.
The amount of stones in your bucket determines how much of your true self you can still see.
The work for you now is unpacking the stones to reveal the light of your true self .
Hawaiian Poem gifted to and in loving memory of Anna Bernet, Teacher and Mentor
