I believe that we're all scared little kids in adult bodies. And that we all are pursuing safety, not happiness. Growing up, most of us never experienced consistent emotional safety and we've been in survival mode ever since. Perfectionism, people pleasing, over thinking and the self critic are some of the defense mechanisms that we leaned on to find safety. They helped us survive for sure and the cost has been constant dissociation, exhaustion and procrastination. Since our coping mechanisms were developed unconsciously (before age 12), I believe that the healing process requires an intentional effort to be present with ourselves.
I integrate solution focused talk therapy with inner child healing, mindfulness practices and somatic exercises to help you build an intentional and consistent relationship with your body and mind. While we also lean into emotional regulation tools to embrace the protective yet uncomfortable emotions of shame, fear, anger and sadness!
This being said, I know that leaning into counselling is not easy. You're going to be looking into a figurative mirror and challenge your familiar coping mechanisms/reality. Thus, you're choosing to play a more active role in your evolution! So, the balance is not about right or wrong but rather between consciousness and compulsiveness.
