sunflowers thrive in the sunlight.

In fact, they crave the light so much, that they turn and twist themselves to chase the sun across the sky, their faces always towards the light. But what happens when the sun is hidden behind the clouds, and the day is dark and dreary? You may think they would shrink and wither, but they don’t. Perhaps in one of nature’s most beautiful depictions of resilience, the sunflower rebels against the darkness and continues to chase the light.

 

Sometimes we all feel disconnected from that spark of life’s wildness, and in turn our experience of living becomes dark and heavy, clouding our internal fire. We might believe we are not good enough, that our life is out of control, and we might negatively apply this towards our bodies. We become desperate, searching for that light that will make life feel worthwhile. We put pressure on ourselves and our bodies, and we seek comfort in bad habits, temporary fixes, rigid viewpoints, and the allure of other people.

 

This is where our work at Rebelliously Thriving Counseling and Coaching Services begins. Whether you are deeply troubled by your body focused thoughts, emotions and body based experience, or you simply feel that there is some part of the relationship with your body that can be improved, I can help. We can work to face and rebel against the negative body image, foster your ability to thrive, and most importantly, chase and harness your inner light.
