During and in the wake of a crisis, some people seem
to “get stuck.” They withdraw, shut down and
become reclusive—staying inside, closing off the
world around them. They begin a pattern of avoiding
people, places and things. Do you see yourself as
getting stuck?
Other people use the painful energy from their crisis
to make destructive choices. They turn to alcohol
and drugs, or become engaged in serious conflicts
with their families, friends and coworkers.
I have a passion for working with people during times
of crisis because I believe that the pool of painful
energy inside you presents enormous potential. It
can provide the fuel that propels you to make
constructive choices. It can open the door to
opportunity!

I seem to go in and out of those periods. The back and forth is exhausting.
