No Judgement..
I have made this promise to my children. I make the same promise to my clients. My clients know I will listen without judgement. I will believe in their ability to forge their own path and will be there to support them when their challenge hits a roadblock.
I sit with my 14 year old watching Queer Eye, witnessing a grown man sobbing into his step mum’s lap as he “confesses” he is gay. He has been hiding it for years and it was heart breaking. Happily, his mum gives him a hug and accepts him completely. I turn to my daughter and say, you can tell me anything, no judgement.
That’s quite a promise to make as a parent. I sit and think of all the scenarios. What if one of my daughters come to me with teenage pregnancy, drugs use, tells me they want to change sex or they are gay? There are so many curve balls in life and I want my children to know it is OK. I want to honour this promise I made and I know it won’t always be easy. There may be times when I feel disappointed in their decisions or when I feel worried for them. Releasing judgement as a parent can be difficult as we all want what we think is best for our children. The world is changing and the challenges our kids face are totally different to what we had to deal with. We didn’t have the onslaught of social media or the pressure of programmes like Love Island. I watch Love Island with my daughter wondering how the contestant’s parents feel about the behaviour of their “kids” and how I would feel. I also make the promise to myself that I will give my daughters the tools to allow them to make the best decisions they can at the time, to create the self esteem they need and learn from any mistakes. This requires my own continued learning and awareness of their challenges and needs. It requires listening skills and a curiosity to understand.
I have made this promise to my children. I make the same promise to my clients. My clients know I will listen without judgement. I will believe in their ability to forge their own path and will be there to support them when their challenge hits a roadblock. I will listen while they talk through how they are going to navigate the block in a way that is good for them. I will give space for both vulnerability and strength, it is hard to have one without the other. I am committed to open, honest discussion. It is vital that my clients feel they can be open with me and tell me when something isn’t working for them. This is where the magic can happen
Living life without judgement is not always easy, we judge every single day, but being open to a life of difference, potential and possibility for change and growth is a good place to start.
Keep Going!
Have a Powerful Day!
