What do you expect from an EXPERT ?
Experts can vary in many ways. The way you see an expert will depend on how you require them and will depend on the circumstances you find yourself in. Not all experts have degrees, and not all experts have field experience and not all experts have hand on experience of the subject they teach or guide their students through. An expert is only an expert to you when you need their skills and knowledge the most, it is when you value their knowledge that will make them an expert for you. This is what qualifies an expert...
There are experts, the Amazon guide, The Survivalist.... the list goes on.
Can you see what I mean by this? They know their speciality inside out and have hands on experience and knowledge which they apply practically in order for them to understand the dangers of the terrain, or in order to survive they must know the fundamentals of how to survive by problem solving the necessities of life. The forest guide, needs to know the terrain its up’s and it’s down’s, where the paths lead to, amongst all of the other essentials that will help to create a safe passage through. The Survivalist, must know how to sustain life, they must find water, food and shelter, as well as knowing how to deal with the elements of the weather. At times they may have to turn to extreme methods in order to survive. Do you ever think ‘Wow’, they must have studied for years, with a few degrees under their belt and read so many books? No... Why? Well Because you rely on the fact that their knowledge has come from experience and specific training. I don't think you can have a degree in life experience, but I'm sure that the level of their experience, tells you that they are to be trusted and relied on.
Am I "Your" Expert?
As someone who specialises in the field of grief and bereavement, it has meant that I had to develop these skills of knowledge and understanding through my own pain and loss. I've lost my father, my son, my husband, my mother and my brother, as well as other family members, friends, colleagues… the list is extensive, endless and heart breaking.
Since then I have refined, honed in and took extensive training so that I could be a true guide to you. I will walk with you, identifying the less exhausting steps and I will be intuitive to your pain and needs, because, after all, this is all too familiar for me, I know this mask, as I wear it daily and I definitely know it’s steps…
Well that depends on you?
It depends on your needs and level of support required. I don't work with everyone that comes to me and I pride myself on directing you to the right place and people, if I should not be the right support for you at this time. . Everything has a time and place for healing, and this might be your time to take this personal journey with me right now but, it may not, which is fine too…
