The Beginning and the End

There are many paths to the same result. Every teacher's task is to discover their own gifts and put them to use. For me, the most important value is truth — what is my inner truth about what I do. This sometimes doesn't align with school requirements or parents' expectations. It can't always align. But my inner truth must align with what I actually do. When I am connected to this value, I feel that I have the energy and desire to create new teaching methods or adapt them anew for each student who comes my way. I call this kind of learning process alive.

Every student's and their family's task is to choose, to find the teacher who is right for them.

It is important for us to understand that once we have formed a bond and laid it down like an umbilical cord, when the time comes, we must safely cut it. Students grow stronger, or plans change — and the time comes to say goodbye. At the end of the learning process, it is essential to leave enough time to say farewell and to share observations. A teacher often gathers additional information throughout the process, supplementing and summarizing it along the way. A safe conclusion to our meetings, on a psychological level, is like the timely cutting of an umbilical cord — when all the nutrients have already traveled where they need to go and all the necessary steps for healthy healing have been taken. In this age of instant preparation and purchasing, I invite you to remember that a relationship cannot be bought. Our meetings touch hearts. Especially when the process is alive.

I share what experience has revealed to me, refined through psychological supervision.
