A request came from a client.
”It hurts so much because my husband said something terrible to me.” With this comment that seemed more like a reaction, I had to ask for more details. Afterward, she said clearly,
“I have lost trust in my husband.”
While listening to her request,
“Yeah, I can understand why you would lose trust,” I noticed my own wavering emotions.
“I empathized with the feeling of being told, ‘You shouldn’t have done it,’ about something you believed you did for the sake of your family… and being told this only after the fact.”
After the consultation ended, I took some time to reflect on myself. Then, I realized,
“No matter what people say, I should be grateful that I could do what I wanted to do. Even if I’m criticized by others, I want to do what I believe in, what I want to do.” I felt a sense of clarity both in body and mind.
Later, she said that the sadness caused by her husband’s words had disappeared and that the distrust she felt toward him no longer bothered her.
”I realized that by recognizing my own wavering emotions, even the worries and problems of clients and their families can all change if I truly understand what I want to do,” I couldn’t help but make a fist pump. This was the first time I felt joy in being able to respond to a request with such confidence.
