KAWA explanaintion for client

The KAWA model is a way of looking at your life flow, or the energy that you have to do the things you want to do. It's like a river, with the water representing your life flow. The river's sidewall and bottom represent your physical and social environment, which are connected to your life flow. Rocks in the river represent obstacles or challenges that can make it hard for your life flow to be smooth. Driftwood in the river represents your personal strengths and resources that can help you overcome these challenges.

In this model, we focus on the space between the rocks or obstacles in the river, which is your current life flow. By understanding your current life flow, we can work together to help you find ways to overcome the challenges that are blocking your flow and help you achieve your goals. We will also look at your physical and social environment and see how they affect your life flow. By working together and using this model, we can help you find ways to increase your life flow and achieve a more fulfilling and meaningful life.
