‘I came to train in my profession through my own struggles as a parent. I found myself reacting instead of responding. I knew the answer lay with me and not my child. By chance I came across Tony Humphrey’s book, ‘Myself My Partner’. I would refer to it as, ‘My Partner, Myself’, and therein lay my dilemma.
I had been raised to put myself last and everybody else first, as was often traditional for girls, in homes and schools, when I grew up. Thinking of my own needs was somehow not on my radar. I only, thought of others. I took up training, with Dr Tony Humphreys, in Interpersonal Communication and Parent Mentoring. I found the approach life changing and so compassionate and supportive of parents and individuals that I continued in my training. I became conscious of the most important relationship of all,’the one with my Self.’ I am my partner. I started to understand that,’All behaviour is a communication’, and to listen and seek to understand rather than blaming others or shaming myself.
Life became lighter, more enjoyable. I was less tense, more engaged and able to hold my boundary without threatening another. My parenting became relaxed making space for each other to be ourselves. As I continued on with my studies as a, ‘Relationship Mentor’ I started presenting courses and workshops in the community and schools from 2008 and have continued on in private practice as a professional parent and relationship mentor because of the many benefits and inner growth to me and my clients.
