As a teacher it is my job to help you to say “no”.
“No” can be profoundly liberating. Think of a two year old discovering their new found possibilities to influence the world around them…
“No” to interference, “no” to controlling the outcome, “no” to doing things I don´t want to do, no to doing things I do want to do in ways that are not good for me. “No” to the rules I have adopted in childhood, or created for myself and which are no longer working for me.
