The Challenge of Self-Application for Change Workers
Change workers often find it paradoxical that, despite having tools and techniques to facilitate change in others, they struggle to apply these methods to themselves. This conversation highlights personal anecdotes where practitioners, despite their knowledge, bypass using effective strategies during their moments of distress or emotional struggle. For example, a hypnotist expressed frustration about remaining in a foul mood rather than employing the skills they would typically apply with clients. This phenomenon suggests that even seasoned practitioners can become entangled in their emotions and neglect their expertise when it comes to self-care.
