Fine
When I entered the world of receiving counseling, I understood there was an “F” word I was unable to use. I didn’t realize this carried so much weight. Every time my counselor heard me say the word, I would be called out.
As a holistic nurse coach, I realize that my understanding of the word has been clarified. I use this word with discernment. I pay close attention to what I am using the word “fine” to clarify. It has not been supportive of a clear conversation for change so I do try to change my wording.
Sometimes, individuals feel despair in life. Coaching, therapy, and any other conversational support can definitely change a person's narrative. Conversations we have with one another can be very limited. If we make more of an effort to listen we may hear the word "fine” and be able to open the dialogue for the root of issues. Only then can individuals be directed toward the proper support needed to live a more optimal life.
If you are dealing with depression, stress, anxiety, and/or any other mental disorder, you are not alone. Please reach out to get support.
