I often notice conversations with patients, although all different, follow a similar theme. I take it as a little reminder, that whilst weâre all different, the things we need and fear are often the same. These past few weeks itâs been trust and the huge amount of it thatâs required when a patient first comes to see me. None more so than Yasmin, who was one of my first ever patientsâŚ
We werenât working towards a pregnancy initially, that goal felt too far off, as the fear from her first pregnancy still lived in her body. But treatment by treatment, her trust grewâŚin me, in this medicine and most importantly in herself, her body, her inner knowing and once the life of her baby started to grow inside of her, it became absolutely resolute. It was a real honour to see and an even bigger honour to meet him.
So if trust in yourself and the natural unfolding of your life is wavering right nowâŚI hope you know that although these periods arenât easy, they arenât empty either. They are an invitation to listen more closely, to learn more deeply, to open more fully to the people that want to support you and to get to know the parts of yourself that are often hidden when times feel more certain. They are the fertile soil from which you can grow.
I hope you can trust that you are not brokenâŚyou are in the process of becomingâ¤ď¸
