It's no secret that the clients I work with receive homework for the first meeting, so that I have the opportunity to prepare for communication. I do this all the time, especially if the number of meetings is limited, or when it comes to telecommuting. This is exactly the case - the client lives in another state and decided to fly back and forth one day. With the permission and consent of the client, I share her homework, which consisted in writing the Tale of Princess Diana. Excluding the name (replacement), I cite the text and pictures in full. After reading, I formed a hypothesis about the client's life, her request and current expectations, which was fully confirmed by the facts from her life (already during a personal conversation).

Diana is an adult woman (after 50) with a married daughter with a granddaughter, whom she takes very much care of: morally and financially. The actual request is related to the physical state of health at a given time, due to problems in the daughter's family with her husband or his other relatives. Diana herself works very hard and works hard, earns decent money, but, despite the interest shown by men, she is lonely. The marriage did not work out. Has a younger sibling (s) - a sister or a brother (or both), with a small difference in the age of 3-5 years, after which she "matured" early and got used to independence. There is no emotional connection with her parents, although they raised and raised her daughter. Accordingly, there is an ambivalent love-hate relationship with the daughter. The motto is "Life is a test"! He bears his "cross" with dignity, does not find support in anyone, does not identify himself with the parental family, although he financially helps them, and his brothers-sisters as well. Recently, the strength of moral and physical is not enough. He tries to see Himself as Himself only in contact with the therapist. A visit to me is filled with magical expectations …

We met for 2 hours. And, of course, I asked questions on my hypothesis, and received corroborating answers.

What's next with the heroine?

Further - the great and important Path to Yourself, to your Sources, to Yourself - a real one, ahead is the longest and most fascinating road in the world to your world, the world of your soul, feelings, states!

I was very touched by this work with its sincerity and "realness".

Maybe in this fairy tale someone will recognize Himself?

Princess Diana

… The girl stood barefoot in the yard, covered with gentle grass with a funny name knotweed, and watched as the big black clouds with their ugly big mouth, part by part, ate the sun. She was wearing her favorite blue dress with a white collar, in which she believed she looked like a princess from her favorite fairy tale.

She saw how a shadow slowly crept along the ground, and the girl decided to run to find herself on a bright strip. But she could not run so fast, and began to cry, and ask her parents to help her get to the bright edge where the Sun was shining, but the parents only laughed in response, and said that this was impossible, and it would all go away.

- You don’t need to go there - Mom said that I’ll tell people that you went there?

- No need to go there, said my father, I was there, there is no sun, there is a swamp.

The little princess did not believe them, and ran on her own, and for so long she ran until she saw in the distance a field with golden ears. And she thought that these ears were golden from the Sun, which meant she had to go to them. The princess was delighted, and ran even harder, so that her parents could no longer catch up with her and could not do anything.

And when she ran into them, she fell and began to sink, as the field turned out to be a swamp, and the golden spikelets - flying fluff from the blooming blocks of reeds.. But the little explorer of the world did not give up. She began to scramble through their quagmires, grab at straws, which were immediately torn, bend over heavy branches of reeds, cutting her hands. She kicked the quagmire with her feet, drove it away with her hands, but still moved forward, tearing off her blue dress and smearing her white funnel.

When going on land, the princess felt that her strength was running out. And she went to the slow, transparent and quiet stream, to wash and refresh herself.

And I saw my reflection in the water, and it was already a matured girl, with big expressive eyes. And looking up, the princess saw a bird that was swinging on a twig from the reeds and needed protection.

The girl took her bird, and carried it with her on a long journey, shared food and shelter with her, and tried to protect it from visible dangers and invisible enemies. And the road was getting harder, and it was scary. It is never possible to predict who is waiting for you, and behind which bush or tree they are hiding. It so happened that several times the princess walked as if in a bewitched circle and even came to the same place, and could not understand how it happened..

The princess left her bird under the bush, and she herself went to look for food. And when she came - this bird - a little chick appeared. The princess was surprised and very happy.

Now she will have to worry about the little chick. She took both birds - small and larger - and went through the forest, since the road was through the forest.

She was scared in the forest, all some evil wizards wanted to take the birds away from her, and the princess wanted to bring them to the sunlight too. But everywhere it was equally dark, and only indefatigable fireflies shone here and there like miniature suns.

There was a wind, a hurricane of rain, the girl clung and fell, and covered the birds with herself from bad weather. In some places, the earth itself was shaking and bony ghost branches burst out under it. And already the girl did not understand - where is the haze and where is reality.. From fatigue and stress, the girl sat down on a tree stump and suddenly a traveler appeared out of the ground.

- Where are you going the little princess - the traveler asked joyfully.

- I'm going to the Sun, I want it to help me warm my native birds. But I do not know where to go, and wherever I turn - there is only darkness around - the girl answered wearily.

.. And the traveler said that he knew where to go and showed the road to the north, and said not to turn off even if it seemed that there was no road, because the Sun was there. The princess went to the north, although she herself still did not really believe, but what could she do, how to go.

Passing through the high and dense bush, and scratching her hands and face, the girl noticed a thin ray in the distance, which was shining, as if by accident and accident, but then it grew brighter. The princess had a great hope that she was on the right path, but her strength was already running out..

And here, next to the girl, a cloudy cloud with clearly defined edges swam.

Cloud said:

- I know that we are on the way, I fly into the sky and take you with me. The princess climbed onto the cloud, hugged and wrapped her birds so that they would not freeze, and they fell back..

… They flew and flew, and it is not known how much time has passed.. How suddenly the cloud slightly shuddered, and through it broke through the words "Attention, our plane began to descend, in 20 minutes we will land in Moscow, fasten your seat belts." Diana opened her eyes and immediately closed them to remember what she had seen.. What was that? Forest, swamp, darkness, and a penetrating hopelessness … and then - he, a ray, and out of nowhere - latent hope! To only know what all that means..

The plane has already touched the runway and drove Princess Diana to stately Moscow, where she was supposed to meet with Tatiana …
