How do you express yourself? Through Art? Music? Dance? Sport?........ Are you one of those types who are comfortable: - expressing how they feel?
- asking for what they want?
- engaging in dialogue with novel people....?
- using a loud speaker, whilst driving to tell someone you like their hair...?
Yes... Number 4 happened to me two weeks ago. Whilst I waited to cross the road at a set of traffic lights, a white van passed me and an individual announced through a loudspeaker (...yes I did say a loudspeaker) "NICE HAIR!".  The other pedestrians, now privy to this broadcast, smiled in my direction. I wasn't embarrassed, more amazed because the event was just so random, so unexpected. On the other hand, maybe it's more common than I think and I've just lived a sheltered life.....?Me thinks NOT! Anyway, I love my hair and agreed with the announcers observation, however, as I processed this episode further, I smiled.......you know, one of those internal smiles. I smiled at the wacky, random, uninhibited act of this individual. I smiled at their confidence, their individuality, their spontaneity. The therapist part of me smiled; it made me think about some of the clients I have worked with, who felt unable to express their selves freely.... solution? Easy! ......Issue them all with loudspeakers. Hope you enjoyed this blog. As always your comments are very welcome.
