Counseling can be a tremendous advantage as you pursue happiness and optimal performance. You can compress the window to break through limiting patterns and compound your achievements by adopting tried and tested practices that others have already undertaken the struggles to invent. With proper guidance, you can navigate blind spots, avoid inefficiencies, and maybe even enjoy the process along the way to achieving your goals.
Ken Knight Disclosure Statement
I am a mental health counselor, meditation coach, fitness trainer, US Army veteran with service in Iraq and private volunteer operations in Ukraine, combat sports practitioner, emergency response diver, martial arts researcher, novelist, and student pilot. I am an advocate for an adventurous life, whose skills and experiences have been shaped by my wealth of pursuits as much or more than formal education and training alone.
Clients should find working with me especially beneficial if they want a holistic and applied biopsychosocial approach. To simplify the process as much as such a thing can be done, let’s look at the obvious biology to see if we can’t affect emotional change through physical action before we have to get complicated and interpretive: How you eat[when, what, for how long, how much], sleep, exercise, breathe, the temperature and duration of your showers, the pattern of your commute, the set-up of your work environment, are all little pieces of the puzzle we can move around to build a better picture together.
When physical processes alone do not quite address concerns fully, we move to strategies and tactics to help you optimize the moving parts of your lifestyle that are a bit more complicated than the work required to care for your human machine. This might look like implementing meditation (concentration, observation, somatic, or mixed-methods) to clear space for action-oriented thinking. It might look like reviewing communication strategies to manage relationships better. In the way thoughts and habits frame action and then emotion, there are so many tools at your disposal that can be cleaned up and woven together to improve lifestyle.
All the personal systems and lifestyle behaviors in the world may still not be sufficient to clear the troubles of the mind in and of themselves. This is where classical counseling comes into play. Drawing patterns and themes from a shared story, making meaning that is driven from the client’s self-exploration, and creating a supportive, honest, and energizing environment can all work toward a person lining up their passion and purpose so they might drive toward a fulfilling life.
