Healing after Heartache

A quick look around Cat’s home revealed two surprising clues about her current feelings of powerlessness and a lack of deep, meaningful relationships:

1. Yang features. High ceilings, angular and geometric patterns, bold artwork and large pieces of furniture dominated the space. These are more masculine features that in Cat’s situation were making her feminine side feel disempowered and lost.

2. Statuary. Gorgeous masks from her world travels and statuary of people engaged in joyous activity - like 4 musicians each happily playing their instrument – populated her home with loved memories. However, these “people” were engaged in their own activity; they weren’t engaged with each other!

What we did: We separated the big couch pieces that dominated the TV room, creating a more cozy place where eye contact was finally possible – eye contact between Cat and her guests, instead of the TV. We also “coupled” the statuary and faced them next to each other, slightly, just as two musicians would do if they were playing live on stage! Additional color choices and future furniture purchases were also discussed.

What happened: That night, Cat won the raffle at a social event and was invited to dinner by a friend. Not only did these equal the consultation fee, she completely enjoyed her deepening relationship with her new female friend and is planning a casual dinner party for the summertime!
