Daring greatly means the courage to be vulnerable. It means to show up and be seen. To ask for what you need. Talk about how you’re feeling. To have the hard conversations.
My Approach to Counselling
What I love about this quote is the profound truth it holds. It takes tremendous courage to come to counselling and share your story with a stranger. Often, it’s the messy parts of life we wish to hide, making it challenging to be vulnerable and reveal that side of ourselves. I am always honoured when someone allows me to witness their story. I understand that while this can be difficult, it can also be incredibly empowering.
