Every Time I Fall

The analogy of peeling an onion aptly captures the progressive and layered nature of therapeutic exploration. It emphasises the need for patience, self-reflection, and a willingness to delve beneath the surface to gain a deeper understanding of oneself.

1. Surface Layers: The outer layers of an onion represent the superficial aspects of a person's personality—the behaviors, thoughts, and emotions that are readily observable. In therapy, the initial focus might be on the surface-level issues or symptoms that brought an individual to therapy. This could include addressing specific challenges, symptoms, or immediate concerns.

2. Deeper Layers: As you peel away the outer layers, you reveal the inner layers of the onion. Similarly, in therapy, the goal is to go beyond surface-level symptoms and explore deeper layers of the psyche. This may involve examining underlying beliefs, past experiences, and subconscious patterns that contribute to current thoughts and behaviours.

3. Uncovering Emotions: Each layer peeled reveals more potent and sometimes tear-inducing compounds. Delving into deeper layers often involves exploring and processing emotions that may be more intense or challenging. This could include addressing past traumas, unresolved feelings, or buried emotions.

4. Understanding Core Beliefs: At the core of the onion is its essence. Similarly, therapy aims to reach the core of a person's psyche—their core beliefs, values, and self-perception. Understanding these fundamental aspects can lead to profound insights and promote personal growth.

5. Gradual Process: Peeling an onion is a gradual process, and each layer requires careful attention. Therapy is also a gradual process, with the therapist and client working together to navigate through different layers. It takes time to build trust and explore deeper aspects of the psyche at a comfortable pace.

6. Tears and Release: Peeling an onion can evoke tears, symbolizing a release of emotions. Similarly, therapy can bring about emotional release and catharsis as individuals confront and process previously unexplored or suppressed aspects of their psyche.

Layers of Resilience

Episode 14 - Layers Of Resilience (Boutique Caring)

As an advocate of disability, homelessness, and community health, I created the "Collaborator Spotlight,"

A podcast that shines a light on professionals dedicated to promoting accessible living and fostering inclusion in our communities. Each week I invite experts, advocates, and innovators to share their knowledge and experiences. Our goal is to empower disabled individuals and inspire everyone to create a more inclusive society.

​Here at "Collaborator Spotlight," we firmly believe that accessibility is not just a legal requirement but a fundamental human right. Through our engaging conversations, we aim to break down barriers, challenge misconceptions, and provide valuable insights into various aspects of accessible living.

We believe that true progress lies in the collective efforts of our society. By embracing accessibility, we create environments that allow disabled individuals to flourish, contribute, and participate fully. Each episode will provide a platform for our collaborators to showcase their initiatives, projects, and achievements, as well as discuss emerging trends and future possibilities.

Whether you're an individual with a disability, a caregiver, a professional, or simply someone passionate about creating a more inclusive world, "Collaborator Spotlight" is for you. We invite you to tune in, engage with our guests, and be part of the conversation.
