How Tests Test Us For Faith In Ourselves

When a clear understanding came to me that it was necessary to go to work in Medicine, I stumbled upon a closed door.

I had a stereotyped fantasy - that my path would be strewn with millions of scarlet roses, they would welcome me everywhere with champagne and breathlessly say “how glad we are that you honored us with your presence!”

The path to Medicine became a huge challenge for me: hundreds of obstacles, lack of jobs, months of waiting, endless interviews at which I aroused admiration, but after which no one called me back. In addition, the law passed by Yushchenko's cabinet, stating that a practical psychologist had no right to work in medicine, also put a spoke in my wheels, even despite the amendment that, at the discretion of the head physician, this issue could somehow be resolved through the region. healthy.

I was in despair, I thought more than once, and maybe give up this venture! But touching the bottom of disappointment, I was again repelled and filled with faith - and the carousel repeated itself - there are no places - there is a place - an interview - you suit us - we will agree with the regional health department - and silence.

I remember how out of boredom I went to the website of the regional council, came across a list of medical institutions, and out of the same boredom I called the phone where a psychologist was being sought “a thousand years ago”. The head doctor answered the phone and immediately said that they are still looking and waiting.

Now I know that PLACE was mine.

The previously closed door opened easily and I stepped onto the Path, which radically changed my worldview, thinking, values and launched a deep personal transformation.

Then I did not know that it was a test of the strength of faith in myself, but as soon as I passed it - all the doors that had not given way before - instantly opened.

Without any efforts and bribes, without any love or family ties - I gained experience in all kinds of medical rehabilitation, in city maternity hospitals, in regional clinical hospitals and just private - at the same time leading patients into the spirit - in three institutions.

You will laugh - but with such a long-awaited feeling of happiness I worked in a white coat, looked after him with such love, so that not a speck, not a dot, with such pride I walked along the hospital corridors …

Then I was surprised how self-confidence is able to overcome ALL obstacles, even if these are idiotic laws and open ALL medical doors in a country where problems are solved exclusively through bribes and connections. In one of the hospitals, colleagues flatly refused to believe that I was hired just like that, that they organized a staff unit through the decision of the region. healthy just like that, because each of them got a job through connections or cronyism.

DO NOT exchange BELIEVE IN YOURSELF for something small and small, for something in which you will suffocate and suffer, that will torment and destroy you.

And the more trials, the more expensive your BELIEVE IN YOURSELF.

What do you think about your BELIEVE IN YOURSELF? What is your relationship with her? Share your opinion.

HOW MENTORS ARE GUIDING US THE RIGHT ROAD

On one of the training modules on gestalt therapy, I ventured to come up with my request about headaches in a circle. This is when you tell the group leader about your problem and he heals you, and 20 people listen and then give feedback.

It was scary to the point of eerie, not that the arms, legs cramped. Opening your wound publicly is another matter!

Olga S. was my psychotherapist. Everything then took shape, a new understanding was opened and awareness came, the wound healed, by the way, frequent headaches were gone.

Then I went to the psychotherapist and asked with sincere surprise:

- Olga, how do you understand everything so well, about me, about others? About what people have inside? How can I learn this?

Olga looked at me and shrugged.

- Yes, I don’t know, they don’t teach this …

- But you see people, so clearly and so clearly. How did you learn this? Teach me!

“It’s impossible to teach….,” She replied softly.

- Why?

- This is practice. The medicine. Extensive clinical experience. A lot of patients have passed, I have seen many, 15 years in the neurological department.

And then I clicked.

The medicine!

I have to go to medicine! This unique experience, knowledge, the ability to clearly see and understand people, what they are about, what is their wound, where it really hurts.

It did not even occur to me then, what if this knowledge would not open up to me?

There was so much faith and clear understanding that I went there - to medicine, to the stream of Life, where everything is abundant - pain, death, joy, unique, and trauma and mystical.

I am still amazed at how easily and instantly I made such a drastic decision, then there was a law in Ukraine (adopted by Yushchenko's cabinet), according to which practical psychologists simply could not work in this area.

Getting into medicine was a huge challenge for me: hundreds of obstacles, lack of jobs, months of waiting, endless interviews and promises of approvals from the regional health department. But ten years later, I understand that then I was undergoing a test of the strength of my Faith and my true Desire.

I am very grateful to Olga S. for that fleeting conversation. It lasted three minutes, and for ten years it determined my life Path.

What Medicine gave me, what I took from it myself - this is a chest full of treasures, this is exactly what I followed and what I wanted to learn.

Have there been meetings in your life that have defined the Path of life?
