Introduction
What a loaded term. What a perceptually-based term. Of course, what is "normal" and how it's defined is a construct. Nevertheless, most of our clients operate from belief systems that tell them there are things that are "normal" and "not normal," and many of them often wonder whether they fall into the "normal" category, or in the "not normal" category. The impact for them is seen in their self-concept, self-worth, and self-confidence - three essential tools for anyone to get out of suffering.
Come join us for a discussion about what's "normal" and what's not "normal" when put in the right context. Let's work with our clients and engage them around their perceptions and beliefs, and let's help them adjust the way they see themselves in the world.
