Objects break. We can usually fix them.
People aren’t objects. People don’t break. We get disappointed, betrayed, abandoned, abused, and hurt in all sorts of ways.
There’s nothing to “fix” there. Your natural healing capacity is within you, and in the context of a loving, safe presence, you will inevitably heal.
“I’m broken” is a feeling, not a fact. It’s a bad contract you have - with somebody - to think of yourself as inadequate, unlovable or unworthy.
Ask yourself: Who benefited from you identifying with that false notion?
YOU’RE NOT BROKEN. You are simply stuck in survival mode, doing the only thing your brain and nervous system know how to do to keep you safe.
Maybe you imagine you’ll never be able to change - never able to gain freedom from unhealthy vices, heal from past traumas, and finally take control of your life.
But those dark imaginings are just the result of a nervous system trying to find balance amidst terrific fear. This is the echo of trauma in our lives. It drowns out clarity, peace, and broad thinking, all in the name of keeping us safe.
Healing is not about fixing. It is about expanding into a new expression of who we can become. It’s about finding a way to channel that painful experience into wisdom that gives others life. It’s about finding the gift within our hurts so that we can embody grace, love and real joy.
The past, who you have been, does not define you.
None of us are...
By holding space for all of the various parts (aspects) or yourself - including all your inner-protectors and managers - meeting them with compassionate curiosity, gentleness, and appreciation, you will experience a new sense of joy and purpose in your life.
This is your birthright. You, exactly as you are in your natural state - embodying joy, purpose, and life giving energy - are your gift to the world.
The best version of yourself sits within you waiting to sprout. It seeks its fullest, most joyful expression. All it needs is light, water, and the nourishment of acknowledgement. I wIll walk alongside you as you embody your highest and best vision of who you can be in this life.
I can probably relate to many of the struggles you are facing. My own struggles and traumas prompted me to help others. Facing challenges in my own life has nurtured a sense of empathy and understanding towards others.
I use a gentle, holistic approach that combines trauma-informed care with elements like breath work, spirituality, and nature. Clients appreciate the nurturing and validating environment I create, focusing on overall well-being.
