Your Life-Story, Part 3: View it Now

Where are you now physically? Where on Earth are you? Where’s your home? Where do you work? 

Who are the other influential human characters, friends and foes, in your life-story? With whom do you interact with on a regular basis?

Are any pets or wild animals influential characters in your life right now? Any trees, flowers, or other plants? Are any land forms or bodies of water characters in your life-story right now?

What about buildings? Art or décor of any kind?

What is your opinion of your life right now? Do you view it favorably or unfavorably? Why?

What emotions do you feel as you view your life right now? Happy? Sad? Frustrated? Some other emotion?

These are just a few of the questions you and your Life Therapist ask and answer together as you view your present life.

Life Therapy Sessions

In Life Therapy, appointments are collaboration sessions rather than treatments. You and your therapist collaborate in attending to, serving, and taking good care of your life. 

You bring your Life Therapist into your life. Your Life Therapist becomes a supportive, influential character in the story of your life. Your sessions are not appointments to check off your “to do” list for the day. They are part of the story of your life.

You collaborate with your Life Therapist to co-create the narrative of your life.

Together you look at the condition of your life right now. How’s your spirit? What’s going well? What needs to go better? 

What is your life-story so far? What has harmed you? What have you overcome? What are you proud of?

If you live seventy-five years, how many more do you have? What do you want to make of your life in the time you have left? What must you do before you die?

Your spirit is what makes you alive. How’s your spirit right now? How alive are you? 

What are the life-affirming desires of your heart? Where are you in realizing them?
