“Owning our story can be hard but not nearly as difficult as spending our lives running from it. Embracing our vulnerabilities is risky but not nearly as dangerous as giving up on love and belonging and joy—the experiences that make us the most vulnerable. Only when we are brave enough to explore the darkness will we discover the infinite power of our light.”
Brené Brown

Inner Alchemy Counseling takes its name from the ancient science and art of alchemy, a process in which one attempted to turn lead into gold.
Thinking of ourselves through the metaphorical lens of alchemy, as humans, we develop various layers of selves over the course of our lives, influenced by our relationships, societies, and cultures in which we live. When we, as humans, attempt to transform our internal "lead," (what Carl Jung called the shadow or most vulnerable parts of ourselves), into "gold," (that which is most authentic and valuable within us), then we may begin to feel we are living more in alignment with our true values, or what Brene Brown calls "wholehearted living". This "transformation" can occur through the turning towards ourselves in self-reflection, observing "what is" with compassion, and making shifts in our perspective, mindset, and behaviors. |
