In the film Eat, Pray, Love, Elizabeth Gilbert sets out on a journey to Italy, India and Bali in an attempt to examine different aspects of her nature. I believe the stages of counselling are similar to the journey Elizabeth experiences during the course of her travels. Following a divorce and a crushing depression, Elizabeth begins the ‘Eat’ part of her journey in Italy. Like Elizabeth, most people begin their counselling journey following a crisis in their life. The goal of counselling at this time is to create stability, which can be achieved by developing or enhancing existing coping skills. In the film/book Elizabeth finds balance through friendships; eating mindfully; and learning to spend time on her own. In my experience most people are pretty committed to the 'EAT' part of the healing journey. When it’s over, many leave counselling because life has become more stable; their support network has been strengthened and since the crisis has passed – they feel a whole lot better. Some of the techniques I teach during this leg of the journey involve mindful meditation and Emotional Freedom Technique www.eftuniverse.com It might not be as pleasurable as a trip to Italy – but the end result is very much the same. Truth be told - my favourite people to work with are the ones who are interested in continuing on for the next leg of the journey - which in the movie/book is called 'PRAY'. At this time Elizabeth travels to India where she enters into silence going deep within herself to heal all the hurts (big and small). In my therapy practice this is often when we start to work on processing big and small 't' traumas. I do this using many different approaches like internal family systems theory www.selfleadership.org and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing www.emdria.org. In my personal and professional opinion this is the most important part of the healing journey and can lead to significant transformations in a person’s.
