Unlocking Emotional Freedom: A Client's Journey to Balance and Clarity

Recently, I worked with a client who was experiencing significant emotional distress due to relationship issues. When she joined our session, she was visibly stressed and struggled to articulate her needs. I started by asking her, "What do you really need right now?"

She responded, "I need clarity and strength to go through all this."

To dig deeper, I asked, "What will the strength give you in this situation?" I wanted to understand her core needs. 

She explained: "A space where I could know I’m safe and not alone. It’s so intense… I wish I could just jump over the emotions so I don't need to feel everything."

I empathized with her feelings but reminded her that emotions are meant to be experienced, not suppressed. I inquired about the specific emotions she wanted to avoid and where she felt them in her body.

She placed her hand over her heart, indicating profound sadness and loss. "I just want to be FREE and do things that I wanna do and have SAFETY at the same time and it just doesn’t work," she said. I noticed a clear disconnect in her perception of freedom and safety.

I asked if she truly believed freedom was the opposite of safety. She agreed, feeling trapped in this belief. To shift her perspective, I introduced the metaphor of a bird flying freely while trusting its own safety, showing her it was possible to integrate both.

She responded with a nod and a faint smile, revealing that she envisioned a box of emotions inside her, with herself holding the key. I asked her to describe the box. She described it as metal, containing swirling emotions, and I suggested she thank the box and observe what happens.

As she did, the box opened, revealing only darkness inside. I encouraged her to thank the darkness, which then transformed into light, leading to a powerful metaphor: Marie Magdalene’s hands holding an open book. Although she wasn’t religious, this image stood out to her. The left side of the book was written, and the right side was blank, awaiting completion.

I asked, “Who is supposed to write the book?” Surprised, she answered, “It’s me!” Yet, she felt resistance and pain in her neck, symbolizing her challenge. I asked her to explore this pain further.

She described seeing a black cloud and a rock. The rock represented safety, and she expressed a desire to release the heaviness and negative attachment to it. I suggested asking the rock if it was willing to relinquish its duty now that she was resourceful and capable of taking care of herself.

The rock’s response was a firm "NO," and it dramatically threw itself into the sky, hitting and killing the bird (representing freedom). This moment highlighted a profound truth: her need for safety was so overpowering that it suppressed her freedom. 🪨

I then guided her to activate additional emotional resources—certainty, wisdom, and acceptance. Slowly, the rock’s hold loosened as these resources harmonized.

As these resources integrated, she visibly relaxed, her tension dissipating, and a gentle smile emerged. The rock transformed into sand, flowing from her crown chakra into the Earth, while the bird, once again alive, happily chirped from the tree. 🦅🌳

This transformative experience allowed her to embrace both freedom and safety, bringing balance and a sense of well-being that would positively impact her relationships and overall life.  

I want everyone to experience this beautiful balance of safety and freedom. Schedule your complimentary clarity call today, and let’s work together to help you find harmony on your path to well-being.
