What is Busyness Hiding

I have clients that come into my office regularly who tell me with confidence that they are very comfortable and aware of their feelings and bodies. There is no reason to disagree with them because this is their truth.

Usually, these clients are fidgety, keeping their hands busy while they watch television, they have lists of projects, and give a lot to others.

These individuals are kind, witty, and carry an ere of something brewing just under the surface.

When we start therapy, they are confident they know everything their body has to say.

A few minutes of deep relaxation in a safe space with some direction and inevitably, the tears start.

Being busy is almost always a coping skill for keeping emotion at bay that we would rather ignore.

All of our coping skills serve essential purposes, and busyness is no different.

Before you shame yourself for being busy, acknowledge that this has been your best effort so far.

Take a minute today if you recognize yourself in this description and ask

What is my busyness hiding?

Spend five minutes in quiet with no distractions and allow yourself to feel and answer the question.

If this is intimidating, or if the fear of what is behind the busyness seems overwhelming call me and schedule a time to sit.

Together we can find what you are hiding from.

Lying below your busy is your true nature.
