Group meets in Essendon North, VIC 3041
When we struggle, it often feels like we're stuck in cycles, reacting in ways we don't want, feeling drained, or like it's never enough. What's happening isn't about our external circumstances, but rather, our relationship with ourselves. How we speak to ourselves in tough moments, push down our needs, or keep going even when running on empty. I’m here to help you reconnect with your sense of agency - building self-trust, leaning intro vulnerability and embracing authenticity. Agency helps you break free from familiar and entrenched patterns and allows you to navigate life with more clarity and vitality.

Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) can occur after a threatening or traumatic event. It usually occurs because the memory is so frightening or uncomfortable that the brain doesn't process it completely and it remains fresh as though it is happening again. In these cases it can come back to re-traumatize you on any day or sometimes every day unless you avoid reminders. Join others who have been experiencing something similar to learn about what is happening in your brain and what you can do to move towards processing the memory which will bring healing and recovery.

Some people with PMDD find it hard to explain what they're going through, and it's particularly difficult when others dismiss their experiences as "just that time of the month" or "just something all women experience". Support groups are valuable resources for connecting with other women who have PMDD. This group meets monthly, please contact me for more information.
