Take a deep breath,
Relax now,
Let your nervous system settle and let your breath find its own rhythm,
Even if part of you already wants to skip ahead.
In this session,
Let's meet the impatient.
Can you remember when you first stepped into this role in my life?
What was happening at that time?
What did you think we needed to outrun or achieve?
What have you been trying to protect me from?
How has it felt to always be pushing,
Urging,
Rushing,
Trying to make things happen faster?
What feels terrifying about slowing down or trusting the timing of things?
And what do you wish I understood about the pain behind your urgency?
I see you.
I see the tightness in your chest.
The fire in your belly.
The ache in your voice when you whisper,
It should have happened by now.
I know this isn't about impatience for the sake of drama.
It's about pain,
About yearning,
About the deep grief of feeling like life passed you by while you waited and waited for something to finally begin.
You've watched others take leaps while we felt stuck.
You've watched time pass while doors stayed closed.
And somewhere along the way,
You decided if I push hard enough,
Maybe I can force the timeline to bend in our favor.
So for that,
Thank you.
Thank you for refusing to settle.
Thank you for wanting more for me than delay,
Disappointment.
Someday,
Thank you for speaking up.
Even when your voice came out as irritation,
Snapping,
Or despair,
I love you.
I am so sorry.
Please forgive me.
Thank you.
I love you.
I am so sorry.
Please forgive me.
You know,
I'm here now.
I've grown.
I've learned that timing isn't punishment.
That slowness isn't failure.
That just because it hasn't happened yet doesn't mean it never will.
You don't have to keep pushing the river.
You don't have to carry the panic in your shoulders or raise the clock inside your chest.
You can rest.
Just for a moment.
T,
You can breathe again.
Let's both make peace with the grief you've been holding.
The fear that waiting equals wasting.
Can you see how your urgency,
While meant to help,
Sometimes left us exhausted?
Missing the present.
Always running toward the next should have been by now.
Can you imagine what our life could feel like if we were rooted in trust instead of trapped in the race?
Were there moments you felt desperate because you cared so much it hurt?
What do you think it has cost us emotionally,
Physically,
Financially to live in this constant countdown?
And what might become possible if you didn't have to carry the pressure alone?
What would help you feel safe without demanding speed?
What would help you trust that we are not behind and that nothing truly meant for us will pass us by?
What kind of pace feels respectful,
Not rushed?
What can I do to help you share your urgency without making us feel broken or behind?
What can I do to help you feel heard so you don't have to scream through stress or self-criticism?
If all of these were in place,
Would you be open to stepping into a new role?
A gentler one,
Not the taskmaster of time,
But a compass for my passions and my momentum.
I would love for you to remind me of what matters most.
Without shame or pressure.
I would love for you to guide my energy with clarity,
Not anxiety.
I would love your support in aligning with my values,
My dreams,
And a timeline that includes rest.
Joy.
Are you with me?
Are you ready to follow my lead as we finally stopped panicking?
Let's give you a new name today.
One that honors time but is no longer ruled by it.
Instead of the impatient.
How would you like me to refer to you moving forward?
You are safe with me now.
We are on the same team.
I love you.
