Did you grow up hearing phrases like “you’re too emotional” or “just get over it,” leaving you to navigate your emotions alone? Do you find that you shove your feelings down, and get caught in a cycle of gaslighting and convincing yourself that you’re just too much? Imagine becoming the attuned presence your younger self needed when feeling isolated with your emotions; offering yourself the kindness and understanding that you’ve always longed for. Imagine acknowledging and honouring your emotional needs instead of pretending they don’t exist. You deserve the change you’re seeking, and I'm here to support your journey towards it.
I help adults who grew up in emotionally under-nurturing environments break cycles of emotional suppression. Through a gentle and collaborative approach, we’ll create space for you to heal from the pain of invalidation and learn to honour your right to feel. Our work together will reveal that your emotions and needs were never the problem.
It’s overwhelming and exhausting to be stuck in the loop of questioning and invalidating your emotions. While you can’t change your upbringing, you can change your relationship with yourself. Let’s create a new path where you can reclaim your emotional expression. Book a free consultation to explore whether we're the right fit to journey together.
