Trauma affects us all, often in ways we may not immediately recognise. While some traumatic events, like a breakup, an accident, or the loss of a loved one, are clearly identifiable, others can show up in our daily lives without a clear trigger. Feelings of depression, anxiety, emptiness, or self-loathing may arise, even when there’s no obvious crisis. These emotions can become your "normal," impacting relationships, work, mood, and self-talk. In an attempt to cope, some may turn to self-medication such as alcohol, food, or screen time, which can deepen feelings of shame and self-rejection. 

​

Much of this trauma originates from childhood when we were innocent and learning about the world. Experiences of rejection, abandonment, shame, and hurt form negative beliefs about our worth, leaving us feeling unlovable or never enough. To protect ourselves, our minds may unconsciously push these painful memories and feelings away, hiding them because they are too difficult to face. When triggered, these repressed emotions can resurface, often causing intense shame, regret, and remorse. This can lead to either externalizing the pain through anger and projection at others, leading to relationship issues or internalizing it, resulting in anxiety, depression, and self-destructive behaviors like addiction or self-harm.

​

In my practice, I use a holistic approach that integrates the mind and body, focusing on how physical sensations in the body relate to both current and past emotional experiences. I guide individuals through the process of reconnecting with and reintegrating the painful parts of themselves that have been pushed away, helping them to understand their purpose, foster compassion for these parts, and transform old, limiting beliefs into new, empowering stories.

​

By welcoming and integrating these neglected parts of ourselves, we can experience healing through self-acceptance, empathy, forgiveness, and love. It is a return to wholeness—a healing process that brings us back to our true selves
