Are you distrustful, fearful and overwhelmed by your own emotions and sensations? Do you wish you could just make them go away? Issues arising from trauma or early attachment wounds may manifest in a number of ways including painful thoughts and memories, anxiety, depression, rage, physical pain and sensations (including unexplained physical symptoms, CFS, fibromyalgia and low energy). By viewing our thoughts, sensations, feelings and behaviours not as symptoms, but as parts of us that had to adapt to cope with life, we can get to know and heal these parts in a compassionate and non-pathologising way.
As humans we have the innate potential for self healing. By working with this potential instead of against it and trying to provide clever solutions and answers, our minds and bodies know the way. We just have to provide the right conditions for healing to happen. We don’t even need to believe this, or even understand it. It’s my job to guide you.
Asking for help and committing to therapy can feel like a big leap. It can be helpful to acknowledge that you’ve already had to draw on your courage and resources - resources that, like everyone, you possess inherently. If you feel like you might like to work with me, get in touch and we can chat about how I might be able to help you.
