Allowing oneself to experience all that is life, strengthens our cloak of resilience. Being an overthinker myself, I know this part within and its intention to keep you safe. Deeper healing doesn't come from knowing what happened, it comes from feeling what it meant. Being fully known and accepted as you are and where you are through self-love is the flex. The path may not be a path when the way is within. Slowing down and listening with curiosity invites clarity on what is needed. Where should we place our energy?
"Awareness is like the sun. When it shines on things, they are transformed." -Thich Hanh

“Sensitivity isn't being wimpy. It's about being so painfully aware that a flea landing on a dog is like a sonic boom.” This is a quote from a favorite musician of mine, Jeff Buckley. I see sensitivity as a strength, not a deficit. As a therapist, I work hard to help my clients understand that oftentimes the parts of themselves that they view as weak are really their greatest strengths. The stories we tell ourselves about ourselves are very important. They are the lens through which we view everything- they color our world. The problem is that a lot of the time the narratives we have about ourselves are simply not true.
