Susan’s Story
Concerned about her future because her marriage had been on shaky ground for months, Susan came into my office for dream coaching. Additionally, she had been inundated with threats of being laid off at her job and the lunchroom conversation at work was marked by anxiety due to continuous rumors about the new administration. Every day her mother advised her to get out of her marriage. Unfortunately, Susan accepted all this negative information as fact making her feel isolated, pessimistic, and depressed. These destructive emotions made it difficult for her to develop a personal plan to achieve her dreams.
Once I began to describe God’s plan for her life based upon promises contained in the Bible, she made a decision to accept God’s words as fact rather than the doom-and-gloom forecasts she had previously accepted as true. As a result, her feelings of depression and isolation gave way to hope and a fresh, new outlook on life.
Over time, Susan reported that she had started a new business, enrolled in university courses, and was planning a surprise weekend getaway with her husband. She had embraced the fact that it was her opportunity to move forward and pursue her dreams.
