I believe that all people have an innate healing capacity and through compassion, we can navigate to the other side of shame. I have worked extensively with issues of childhood and adult traumas and how these painful experiences have affected how we relate to ourselves and others. Sometimes, we can feel stuck or lost, or struggle with anxiety, depression, or relationship difficulties. Sometimes, there are big issues to grapple with. But our experience of breaking apart can be the ground for something new, not only an injury to survive. Therapy can help loosen the process of growth & the experience of being present to our own life.
