This Too Shall Pass
'.. this too shall pass'. This is a famous Persian adage, which beautifully reflects how all situations, no matter how distressing, are usually temporarily present in our lives. Even if there are significant life long changes... Our minds and bodies have amazing mechanisms to adjust to the human condition.
The capacity to observe, notice, accept and describe is powerfully effective when you are feeling overwhelm or distress. It becomes a skill when you come to the realisation that any and all feelings can pass.
We all need an environment and support which can safely hold and contains us, on all levels.
