| "I never knew how important empathetic listening and validation
were in my life until I worked with Maren. I immediately felt
stronger and more empowered to do my life tasks, and negotiate things with others." – NR |
We do not have enough time in today's world to listen to each other and be heard. We are bombarded with information, stressed out from work, and living in a near-constant state of activity. When we do find time to connect with friends and family, we still may not get all we need: time is short; there may be distractions such as ringing phones; our words may trigger unexpected feelings in the listener, leading to disconnects, arguments, or tangents ...
This lack of listening and empathy takes its toll on our relationships, our sense of connection to ourselves, and our ability to live at our highest, most joyful potential.
• Are you struggling in a personal or work relationship, and need a chance to "vent," and express your feelings to an impartial outsider?
• Are you wrestling with questions relating to your life direction? (Should you travel? Begin a new career? Go back to school?)
• Perhaps you have some new ideas that you're excited about, and you want to say them out loud and talk them through, in order to get clearer.
It brings me great joy to support people in all of these ways by listening and holding space. Imagine if you had a fully present, supportive listener for a whole hour, allowing and encouraging you to share whatever is alive in you. No distractions. No judgment. No advice. No agenda, other than helping you to connect with yourself, get grounded, and gain clarity on your life.
"It is so refreshing and therapeutic to be able to talk and process out loud to someone who not only authentically cares, but has a broad base of understanding and has been practicing the art and science of listening for over a decade.
I repeatedly during our sessions feel elated, relieved, valued and affirmed. Maren is able to keep up continuously with me from session to session and thread to thread and we have been working together for over a year." – BK |
