Find a private personal computer at home used only by you, and
practice writing to yourself a daily journal, to jot down tricky phrases, like
Debussy spent all his time at the Paris Conservatory, sitting at the piano
making up weird chords. Its a later or never edited stream of consciousness
technique. Its the first beginning to any fiction or poetry.
Like first line in The Stranger, Albert Camus: Today Mother died....... Your 'voice' will
eventually sneak out and find you..... just takes some change in habit.
Your main contribution to your counselees I will bet, as is that
of any important teacher or minister or parent or friend, is simply that you
convince that person that you acknowledge him completely and give him your full
attention. By noting this he feels valued and is healed a little. Lack of
attention is what is toxic to us all.
Stillness promotes acceptance of change, and learning.
