How can I start to feel some joy again because right now, it feels impossible.When people first start working with me, the things they always list as goals are all of the things that they want less of.Less anxiety, less pain, less overwhelm or grief and it takes a while to start to think about what is it that you want more of or that you want back, instead of all of the things you want less of. More joy, more peace, being more present and engaged with your life. More feelings of being connected and having an expanded emotional range so that you can feel so much more than where you feel stuck at the moment. But a lot of that is going to depend on where you are right now. So, lets talk about where you can be stuck, what to do when that happens and how you can start cultivating a practice to include more of the things you want, including joy. Kerry Jeffery is an award winning Coach and Counsellor who specialises in helping clients online around the world with the emotional issues of living with chronic illness and the impacts it has on their lives and relationships.
