Edrich says:
In time, the ebb and flow of life – uncertain by design – drives us to a world inside ourselves where we are confronted by the reality of our
humanness...
with stories from the past and dreams for the future. You are part of this world, and in the way that you purposefully change things in your life,
you too are changed by life happening around you, to you, part of you. It is in this reality of being in this world, living as a part of it, that one
truth stands clear, whatever it holds, your life is now.
Conversations between myself as a psychologist, and each unique individual in front of me within the consulting room, revolves around this
truth, understanding this very moment what you experience – as this is fundamental in creating the space to change this very moment into a
possibility of having the next moment shaped closer to a life where you can radiate the joy that you so want for yourself.
We can understand the past and the challenges it brought onto us, we can understand the future and what it can or cannot hold, but this very
moment is where we feel. You might be able to remember your past and sadness within it, but the feeling itself attached to that past you feel
in the present. You can construct a future filled with dreams and ideals, but the joy you experience as a result of this construction, you feel in
the present. If you dig deep, hard and long enough, these feelings about your past, future, or present, felt right now, tells you a tremendous
amount about who you are. And that is where we start when we unpack the brokenness that this life sometimes throws into the mix, we start
with who you are – right now .... and then we move on.... to what you could be, what you want to experience....
And as this process unfolds, you get closer to yourself, making peace with your past, embracing this moment, and again believing in your
future.
