Trauma and mental health now form part of our lingo, and give us a broader understanding of ourselves. Trouble of course arises when, that expanded understanding alone of ourselves doesn't lead to expanded lives and relationships. You know more now but what's really changed? So much of our discomfort arises from trying to resist change and sticking with what is familiar even when it is keeping us stuck in our lives. Accepting change within the self and the need for it can be the hardest task of all, giving rise to a fear of being "wrong" or "unwanted" or "unloved" or more simply and deeply, being seen.

Brave souls, we live our lives to the best of our abilities; we aim to achieve our dreams with what life has to offer us. However, due to various reasons, and often beyond our control, we might hide from ourselves ... in ourselves, or in other people. Depression, anxiety, personality disorders, dissociative features, psychotic experiences ... We fall, we rise. We laugh, we love, we feel anger and pain. In a conversation with another we could find our way out of this state of being lost in these states. Recovery from trauma perhaps is not about forgetting the past; perhaps it's about expanding your Self, your narrative.

I am an Accredited Mental Health Social Worker, Yoga Teacher, Clinical Supervisor and Trauma Therapist. I recognise that healing from trauma requires a holistic and individualised approach to support both body and mind. Through a range of therapeutic modalities, individuals are supported in their journey towards recovery in a safe and supported therapeutic environment. Medicare rebates available via GP referral.

I enjoy working with people who are interested in getting to know themselves at a deeper level and are committed to the therapeutic journey. My clients would describe me as genuine, caring and curious. Although diagnosis is sometimes important, I am more focused on the uniqueness and individuality of each client I work with and like to support my clients to have a better understanding of themselves and help them to connect with their own inner wisdom and move towards a fuller sense of wellbeing.

Therapy can be a big step and decision and it is important that your therapist is someone you feel safe and supported by, that you are respected and so are your strengths and capacities. I work in a holistic and supportive way working with clients to heal, and achieve the outcomes that they choose. I have worked for a number of years with survivors of childhood sexual assault, adult sexual assault, intimate partner and other violence and also work with those who use violence.

I'm Hitika Bhatia, Principal Clinician at Blossoming Minds Therapy, providing Psychosynthesis psychodynamic psychotherapy which emphasizes the integration of different aspects of the self. This approach is beneficial if you are seeking to explore how your past experiences impact your current relationships. This can lead to improved communication, and stronger connections with self, and others. Exploring difficult emotions in a safe, and supportive environment can help people reduce stress. By exploring unconscious thoughts, and emotions, people may find new sources of inspiration, and increase creativity.
