In the late 90’s everyone seemed to be moving to Australia; so much so that I now call the process of people trying to escape their demons and start again ……..going to Australia.
The problem with actually going to Australia or anywhere else is that it’s only nirvana for around 6 months. I notice that it takes around 6 months for the excitement and novelty to wear off and for the same old problems to find you……however you try and change things.
I may have seen someone face to face for a couple of sessions and we’ve started on helping them overcome their anxiety (for example).
On the back of too many episodes of New Life in the Sun, they’ve decided that working at overcoming anxiety is exactly that…..a bit too much like hard work. That exactly what they need is to do the thing they always promised themselves they would do and move abroad. Firstly…..kudos to you for making such a brave move, it’s big stuff. If you’ve decided to move abroad or to find a way of starting again, to move towards something, I’m thrilled for you.
