25.01.2022 "I think people need the confidence not to feel invisible once you have an illness." The actress Selma Blair is speaking about her MS diagnosis to raise awareness and help others who are going through similar experiences

23.01.2022 What is my story? Our story is what makes us unique. We have all gone through different experiences in our lives. These experiences make us who we are. In the process of overcoming pain, we gain strength and unique wisdom. Traumatic experiences often result in profound learning, which can become a purpose in life for many people. Some people choose to share these lessons with the world. Take some time to think about a few critical experiences in your life that provided person...al learning and growth. These experiences are usually the ones that caused you the most pain when they happened. What are those experiences for you? This can be used as an inventory of every resentment of your entire life, and can show us why we behave the way that we do and have the attitudes that we have. It can show us how we actually participate in our own pain. It can bring the unconscious to the conscious, the unaware to the aware as many of us dont actually know the reason why we do the things that we do or dont do. The answer often is within this process. The severity of the event doesnt matter, only whether or not its bothering you. And if you can remember it, it is bothering you. #thebodykeepsthescore #polyvagaltheory #traumahealing #reparenting #selfcompassion #somatics #therapyworks #healingyourself #avoidance #awareness #therapistofinstagram #traumatherapist #healingtrauma #emotionalhealing #stigmafree #traumarecovery #traumabond #mentalillnessrecovery #mindfulnessmatters #mentalhealthcounselling #positivepsychology #acceptance #counselorsofinstagram #vulnerabilityisstrength #holistichealer #energyshift #higherfrequncies #cptsd #emotionalhealth #copingskills See more

21.01.2022 Trauma Summit This event brings together Sally Kellett @mirosuna and Dr. Sarah Jane Perri, both knowledgeable in the area of trauma and to present their personal perspectives and understanding of trauma and how it effects both individuals and collective. The Summit will examine a range of philosophys on why trauma occurs, what trauma in actuality is and how we can begin to heal trauma and incorporate this into our own mindfulness practice. We are wanting those who participa...te in the workshop to gain more knowledge, self compassion and be empowered to make meaningful steps to assist them on their own journey, especially in the current climate where those who have experienced trauma will have triggers reignited presenting as defence, escapism or freeze. Learn about the impacts of trauma on the physical body, nervous system and how and why this occurs to keep us safe in uncertainty. Develop mindfulness skills to deepen awareness and discover peace in the present moment as well as understanding of how trauma is showing up in your life. We all have and continue to experience overwhelm and challenges, and there has been no better time than now to increase our knowledge of self, our bodies and how we can learn tangible tools that can improve our quality of living by having space between reaction and creating safety within ourselves.

20.01.2022 We are creating a friendship group for women! So often I hear my clients longing for a deeper connection with others or like minded people (especially other women). Also, many of us are not within a ‘group’ of friends and yearn for a community or support network. If you are interested in joining our first breakfast/brunch please Dm me. Also, due to the high demand of response so far I will be creating groups in which you are matched to those whom you will possibly connect wit...h most! It will be a safe and welcoming environment. #friends #friendship #friendsforever #friendshipgoals #friendshipquotes #bestfriends #friendsforlife #connection #connect #connections #womensupportingwomen #women #womenempowerment #womeninspiringwomen #womenempoweringwomen #womenshealth #likeminded #likemindedpeople #friendsinperson #friendshipgoals #friendsforever #friendslikefamily #friendstime #health #wellness #chiropractor #relationships #womenhelpingwomen #womenownedbusiness See more

20.01.2022 To be a human being means to be in perpetual becoming. If you are living bravely, your entire life will become a million deaths and rebirths. The goal is not to remain the same, but to live in such a way that each day, year, moment, relationship, conversation and crisis is the material that can be used to become a truer, more beautiful version of yourself. The goal is to surrender, constantly, who you just were in order to become who the next moment calls you to be.

20.01.2022 Recovering from PTSD is being fragile and strong at the same time. Its beautiful medley of constantly being broken down and pieced together. I am painting almost done to completion, beautiful but not quite complete. Kate J. Tate One of the reasons I wanted to be a practitioner was to help those who had experienced trauma. I wanted them to know that they were not alone and that someone cared about them, and someone was by their side. This is a journal entry I found recen...tly encapsulating the feelings that I was experiencing and a big part of my why now from when I was experiencing trauma. ~Sometimes I feel so stuck that I could cry. But I can no longer feel. Smothered by this wave. Not being able to breathe when everyone else is easily inhaling. I think I ll always live here now. On the planet of the heartbroken and wounded. A place where rivers are made by tears and mountains by pain. Yet where we all have an understanding of each others reason for being there, unique yet connected simultaneously. Understood and accepted. Same and fulfilled in the emptiness we each share. No longer lonely, no more reasons to isolate, no longer broken. Because we are together in our fragments. Thats the hardest part about PTSD, being alone in your mind and world. In the minefield within your brain. One where everyday the map changes. Exhausted and overwhelmed by the constant adaptation. Yet fearful of anything ever remaining the same or monotonous. Just wanting love but not ever being able to receive it. Just wanting to feel safe but thats so foreign and far away. Wanting to feel made sense of and normal or common place. Wanting to belong finally and find safety in my being. Wanting to find peace and be angry no more. Yearning to return to me at last. #ptsd #ptsdawareness #ptsdrecovery #ptsdawarenessmonth #ptsdsurvivor #ptsdwarrior #ptsdsupport #chronicstress #trauma #traumarecovery #traumahealing #traumainformed #traumabonding #isolation #lonliness #alone #alonetogether #belong #belonging #somaticexperiencing #somatictherapy #somatichealing #empathy #empathymatters #connection #soulconnection #humanconnections #spiritualconnection #traumainformedcare

19.01.2022 We all have within our brains the capacity to absorb good and bad emotions. When our emotional capacity is full of negative emotions further negative emotions result in an overspill which is seen in the form of a variety of behaviour. In our lives we experience a lot of hurt which can accumulate if not dealt with at the time. The hurt is harder to deal with when it comes from those we dont expect to hurt us such as family member, partners, teachers and other people who we tr...ust. We tend to focus on dealing with the symptoms of the full emotional cup which will provide only temporary respite when instead we also need to focus on dealing with the causes which will stop the cup overflowing in the first place. EXERCISE - SO HOW DO YOU EMPTY THE EMOTIONAL CUP? If you are hurting you will need comforting If you are angry you need to forgive If you feel guilty you need to apologise If you experience low self esteem or a sense of false guilt you need to hear the truth spoken to you. For example you may be accused of being useless. Fine you may have failed in one specific point, like everyone else, but that does not make you useless in general. You need to hear positive messages rather than blanket condemnation. If you are fearful you need to receive love If you are stressed you need to receive support. #emotionalhealth #emotions #emotionalintelligence #emotion #emotional #mental #mentalhealth #mentalhealthawareness #boundaries #healthyboundaries #overwhelmed #overwhelming #trauma #traumarecovery #traumahealing #traumainformed #energyhealing #somaticexperiencing #somatictherapy #somatichealing #somaticmovement #support #fatigue #stress #anxiety #brainfog #hurt #digestivehealth #anxietyrecovery #anxietyquote

18.01.2022 May I have the serenity to accept what cant be changed, the courage to change what is ready to be changed, and the wisdom to know the difference. Here we are affirming our acceptance to the reality of what is. Sometimes it invites us to a full surrender to what is beyond our control. This gives us serenity. Other times it invites us to take action in order to change something, including ourselves. That action is courage. Finally, we are continually asking the universe or o...ther power for the wisdom to know the difference- when to be in acceptance or action. We are not only praying to have peace, courage and wisdom, as those are always in us regardless- but we are aspiring to activate them in the here and now. We fantasise about being in full control of all that is changing. Such control though would cancel our chance at building inner resources. Our not being in full control is one of the paradoxical ways our psyche helps us find and grow our inner wealth. Strange how we get so attached to what makes no difference- Mona Stevens #change #changeyourmindset #changeyourlife #changeisgood #changes #changequotes #changeiscoming #changeyourthoughts #control #surrender #wisdom #wisdomquotes #stoicism #stoicphilosophy #acceptance #expectations #courage #courageous #triggered #triggers #ptsd #illusion #chiropractor #counselling #kinesiology #energetichealing #attachment #buddha #yoga #meditation

17.01.2022 I understand that no one else in the world knows what I should do. The experts dont know nor even those who love me the most. Because no one has ever lived or will ever live this life I am attempting to live, with my gifts and challenges and past and people. Every life is an unprecedented experiment. This life is mine alone. So I cease to ask other people for directions to places they have never been. I am a pioneer of my own life.

17.01.2022 What happens when your parent is affected by a brain injury? For many people affected by brain injury, there are noticeable changes in physical, cognitive and emotional functioning. But it can also happen that behaviour and personality change, and that is often more clear as the person returns home and wants to participate again in life like they used to. The connection and relationship with their loved ones and children is changed. Their children (no matter the age) must the...refore learn to deal with a "new parent". Mum or Dad is no longer the mainstay they have always known. At the deepest level, it is a loss of the bond and attachment with the "former parent" whom they knew. Home does not appear to be like home anymore. A result may be that the loved ones may feel restless and unhappy because he / she does not know how to cope with the problem. They are in a mourning process and is for a long time under severe emotional strain. Many loved ones blame themselves and feel immense guilt. It can be especially challenging when there has been a role reversal, where the child is parent for his / her own father or mother. I remember praying at my mums bedside I wish I could be sick instead of you. Asking for god or the universe to take me in her place. To promise to always be a perfect person and to never take her for granted again if they just saved her. We have been lucky, my mum is alive and a miracle. She has come out of the storm of ADEM but still suffers its effects daily. I still miss the mum I knew every second of everyday. Every breath. And Im slowly learning to navigate my new one and the strange place of being immensely grateful yet completely devastated all at the same time. Its hard to explain that I miss someone so much when they are still here. It can be at times a painful limbo of never ending confusion. The moments I have to say No mum...break my heart. I wasnt ready for the role reversal. I dont know if I ever would have been. I love my mum. Give your mum a hug and tell her you love her.

16.01.2022 Piece by piece I fell far from the tree. I will never leave her like you left me. And she will never have to wonder her worth. Because unlike you I'm going to put her first. And you know hell never walk away. Hell never break her heart. He'll take care of things, he'll love her. Piece by piece, he restored my faith. That a man can be kind and the father should be great- Kelly Clarkson My dad left when I was one and I was only to see him again when I was thirty. Its hard ...to explain the destruction created by being abandoned by a parent. By someone who is supposed to love you unconditionally. During my childhood I use to wish for a father. This evolved to wish for a man to love me. In any way that it was possible. Even if they showed love in abusive and painful ways. I craved it in any form. It was not until I met my father at 30 that I realised he was a human being who had his own journey. And him being my father and giving me life was only a minuscule event in his world but a large one in mine. Him being my biological father was a part of his life path, but being my dad was not. I realised that he was not the person I longed for. Not the person I wished for on Fathers Day or when I saw father daughter dances at weddings. Not the person I hoped to see at my weekend sports or show my achievements from school. He was someone else. I forgave my father that day. I found my worth. I no longer searched for approval from men or begged for their love. I knew finally that it wasnt my fault. That someone could not love someone else if they did not love themselves. I knew that I would never repeat his mistakes. And I was certain that he was one of my greatest teachers in my world. He taught me who not to be. And that was a very powerful lesson that I will always be grateful to him for. #love #loveyourself #relationshipquotes #family #familytime #familyfirst #familyiseverything #selfcare #selflove #selfworth #unconditionallove #unconditionallove #forgivenessquotes #forgiveness #forgiveyourself #forgiving #forgiven #letgo #letgoofthepast #acceptance #acceptyourself #anxiety #anxietysupport #traumahealing #traumarecovery #traumatherapy #therapy #counselling See more

16.01.2022 How do you perceive your feelings when they come up? If you cry in your pillow or feel overwhelmed do you wish you didnt? Im here to tell you that your feelings arent problems that need to be fixed. They dont need to be stuffed deep down. When you do this where do you think your emotions go?They then reside in the nervous system. The body. Feelings dont mean that you are wrong because you feel the way that you do. Emotions that we perceive as negative do not mean tha...t you should not feel them because they uncomfortable. All of your feelings are allowed. They are valid. Take the time to treat your emotions as indicators or data informing you about your internal world. At times, we may not even be able to perceive what we think about someone or something until we have our emotions communicate it to us. #thebodykeepsthescore #polyvagaltheory #traumahealing #reparenting #selfcompassion #somatics #therapyworks #healingyourself #avoidance #awareness #therapistofinstagram #traumatherapist #healingtrauma #emotionalhealing #stigmafree #traumarecovery #traumabond #mentalillnessrecovery #mindfulnessmatters #mentalhealthcounselling #positivepsychology #acceptance #counselorsofinstagram #vulnerabilityisstrength #holistichealer #energyshift #higherfrequncies #cptsd #emotionalhealth #copingskills See more

14.01.2022 What is a trauma? Trauma is the response to a deeply distressing or disturbing event that overwhelms an individual's ability to cope, causes feelings of helplessness, diminishes their sense of self and their ability to feel the full range of emotions and experiences. It does not discriminate and it is pervasive throughout the world. While traumatic events happen to everyone, youre more likely to be traumatised by an event if youre already under a heavy stress load, have re...cently suffered a series of losses, or have been traumatised before. We all react to trauma in different ways, experiencing a wide range of physical and emotional reactions. There is no right or wrong way to think, feel, or respond, so dont judge your own reactions or those of other people. Emotional & psychological symptoms: Shock, denial, or disbelief Confusion, difficulty concentrating Anger, irritability, mood swings Anxiety and fear Guilt, shame, self-blame Withdrawing from others Feeling sad or hopeless Feeling disconnected or numb Physical symptoms: Insomnia or nightmares Fatigue Being startled easily Difficulty concentrating Racing heartbeat Edginess and agitation Aches and pains Muscle tension Trauma symptoms can last from days, months to years, gradually fading as you process the unsettling event. But even when youre feeling better, you may be troubled still from time to time by painful memories or emotionsespecially in response to triggers such as an anniversary of the event or something that reminds you of the trauma. Even if your trauma happened many years ago, there are steps you can take to overcome the pain, learn to trust and connect to others again, and regain your sense of emotional balance. I am at full capacity, however during these times have added some openings to assist those who are needing assistance right now. #trauma #traumarecovery #traumahealing #traumainformed #networkspinalanalysis #energyhealing #energywork #fightorflight #vagusnerve #polyvagaltheory #nervoussystem #emotionalexhaustion #stressrelief #stress #emotionalpain #distress #cantcope #traumarelease #somaticexperiencing #somatictherapy #somatichealing #exhausted #overwhelmed #overwhelming

13.01.2022 Do you feel out of alignment with your true self? In order to reclaim your authentic self you have to recognise that you have disconnected from who you really are in the first place. I can always hear my inner voice tell me that Im going off track or feel out of balance physically when I am becoming disconnected from the real me.Your achievements, your accomplishments, your roles, all the stuff that you own, and even the way you looktheyre not who you really are. We have t...o have courage to stand in our truth and be our real selves. Recognition alone is not enough. For many of us, its the fear of disapproval that holds us back from stepping out of those curated, pre-approved categories that we have created for ourselves, and fully owning who we are, in all our beautiful, strange glory. When we chase after external validation and approval, we compromise who we really are in exchange for more respect, more likes, more congrats from our peers. We showcase a more curated, acceptable version of ourselves to the world, and we hide other parts of ourselves that we think might be rejected by others. Even worse, we end up chasing after things we dont even really want. Some of us inherit strong beliefs about what success means and some of us strive toward preapproved categories of success as defined by society, without checking in once to see whether these pathways fit in with our true selves. In the end, we lose our individualitythe essence of who we really are. I hope that this becomes your permission slip to fully step into who you really are and own it. Being your true self requires significant courage, but its worth it. And having the courage to fully embrace your true individuality in all its quirks? Thats real success. #thebodykeepsthescore #polyvagaltheory #traumahealing #reparenting #selfcompassion #somatics #therapyworks #healingyourself #avoidance #awareness #therapistofinstagram #traumatherapist #healingtrauma #emotionalhealing #stigmafree #traumarecovery #traumabond #mentalillnessrecovery #mindfulnessmatters #mentalhealthcounselling #positivepsychology #acceptance #counselorsofinstagram #vulnerabilityisstrength #holistichealer #energyshift See more

12.01.2022 Today has been challenging for me. Ive had an emotional roller coaster the last few days trying to decipher the ever changing environment we are finding ourselves in right now. A client of mine @onceuponayoga said something that really stuck with me yesterday, that I have facilitated enough support and change within people for them to continue this on their own over the next 6 weeks. My purpose is to empower people on their journey, not do the healing for them. Im not mag...ical, I simply help the build up of tension in your nervous system reorganise. Although it is challenging for me to not be able to see majority of you in person during this time, it was such a comfort knowing that I have assisted you all to a place in which you can fly on your own. Thats all I could ever want really. Thank you to everyone for your ongoing support, I count my blessings daily for you all and for the work that I am able to do with each and every one of you. You all have a special place in my heart and I suppose now is an opportunity for me to connect with myself more outside of what I do. To think about what I really want from this life and who I really want to be. What actually matters. Sending love to you all and Im here anytime for you over the next 6 weeks. We are still open but there are strict guidelines. Online appointments are available. Dm to book.

12.01.2022 In Western culture, we perceive healing(it literally means to make whole)as restoring something or someone to an undamaged state; when something of value is damaged, such as a painting or other artifact, our practice is always to repair it in such a way that it looks as though the damage never happened. That tends to be the mindset we bring to our emotional healing from childhood which is, of course, impossible. For that reason, I think its far more productive to think of ...healing using the Japanese art of Kintsugi as the guiding metaphor. When a valuable or cherished ceramic object is broken, the Japanese repair the piece with lacquer mixed with precious metalsgold, silver, or copperso that the breaks are not only visible but form a pattern of their own, testifying to the objects history while transforming how it looks. The repaired object remains its old self while becoming an emblem of resilience and newly envisioned beauty. #thebodykeepsthescore #polyvagaltheory #traumahealing #reparenting #selfcompassion #somatics #therapyworks #healingyourself #avoidance #awareness #therapistofinstagram #traumatherapist #healingtrauma #emotionalhealing #stigmafree #traumarecovery #traumabond #mentalillnessrecovery #mindfulnessmatters #mentalhealthcounselling #positivepsychology #acceptance #counselorsofinstagram #vulnerabilityisstrength #holistichealer #energyshift #higherfrequncies #cptsd #emotionalhealth #copingskills

10.01.2022 The En Light N. Podcast is here! Join me & my guests in talking all things resilience, consciousness, healing, the human experience and just how trauma, loss and grief can shape us to be more compassionate and more empathetic human beings than ever before. These stories are for the highly sensitives, the empaths and those wanting to hear a unique approach to holistic health. Please download, subscribe and if it feels right for you leave a review. Our first guest is my beaut...iful friend @jacinthafield (Integrative Nutrition & Health Coach). As you will hear in this episode, Jacintha felt lost and out of alignment with her true self. Every Sunday morning for years, she woke up extremely hungover, wanting a better life for herself and her son Axel. So in the past decade, she has turned her life around. She always felt a little different to everyone else so she did a lot of inner work to find out who she was. She now runs her own business and has gone from having a cluttered, negative mind to focusing on gratitude and the positive aspects in life. #podcast #healthpodcast #healingjourney #resilience #authentic #alignment #soulalignment #soulaligned #consciousness #consciousliving #higherconciousness #highlysensitiveperson #empath #empaths #individuality #unique #chiropractor #energetichealing #yogaandmeditation #yogateacher #meditationteacher #nervoussystem #vagusnerve #anxiety #emotionalhealth #grief #griefjourney #loss #holistichealth #perfectionistproblems

09.01.2022 Did you know that you can have physical and mental ailments in the body that arent as simple as finding the root cause & youre healed? Sometimes there is a lot of shame placed on people suffering from things like anxiety, depression, ocd, infertility, ptsd, trauma....for not doing enough to heal themselves. If their anxiety isnt gone then they must not have healed properly, they didnt delve deep enough. If they need the help of anti depressants then they arent do...ing or havent done the work. If they have infertility then they must be doing something wrong to contribute like not thinking positively enough. If they suffer the effects of ptsd they should just let go of the past and move on and accept what has happened to them. But things arent that simple, everything is multi factual. You cannot just manifest your way out of pain. I see this particularly when clients have seen other practitioners who believe that the natural way is the only way and that needing western medicine is bad, or that they havent tried enough which makes people feel like they arent like everyone else & that they are broken. Many feel like they are being an imposter if they have their own struggles in this field. Keeping this secret is due to the stigma that you couldnt do it the proper way. It is the secret shame that keeps people stuck in their illness. Everyone is on a journey. We need to support each other and not judge. Shame does not need to be added to peoples already long list of challenges in this life. I do believe that modalities like what I utilise are life changing. Treating the mind and body as one and assisting people moving from a sympathetic state to a parasympathetic state is a necessity. It helps us unravel layers and get to the why behind many things we experience. But it doesnt fix all things.

07.01.2022 Meditation teacher Pema Chodron once said that most people quit a meditation practice just when things are starting to get interesting. Which is to say, they quit as soon as things arent easy anymore, as soon as it gets painful or boring or agitating. They quit as soon as they see something in their mind that scares them or hurts them. So they miss the good part, the wild part, the transformative partthe part when you push past difficulty and enter into some raw new unexpl...ored universe within yourself. And maybe its like that with every important aspect of your life. Whatever it is you are pursuing, whatever it is you are seeking, whatever it is you are creating, be careful not to quit too soon. As Pastor Rob Bell warns, Dont rush through the experiences and circumstances that have the most capacity to transform you. Dont let go of your courage the moment things stop being easy or rewarding. Because that moment? Thats the moment when interesting begins.

07.01.2022 Freedom is the open window through which pours the sunlight of the human spirit and human dignity. - Herbert Hoover Does anyone out there know everything about you? The real you? The one that you hide because you are fearful that no one would possibly love you if they really knew you. It takes courage to share your soul with someone. When you do you will realise that you are not alone. And that you are loveable. And that the shame and guilt you have felt can rest easier on...ce expressed. Then you become free. Free from the idea that you are a prisoner in your own mind and life. Liberated from your secrets. A bird flying from the cage. Thank you to all of my clients who have and continue to share their stories with me. Being of service to you all is what makes me feel alive. Sending so much love to everyone in Melbourne right now. #trauma #traumarecovery #traumahealing #traumainformed #tensionrelief #tensionrelease #overwhelmed #overwhelming #raw #stressrelief #anxiety #anxietyawareness #anxietyrelief #vulnerability #trapped #stuck #vulnerabilityisstrength #honesty #unconditionallove #resentment #respect #compassion #empath #emotionaltrauma #empathy #trusttheprocess #trust #believeinyourself #believeinyou #believe See more

07.01.2022 Do you find it challenging to switch off or to just be? Do you have to be productive to feel worthy? This can be a result of trauma. We can return ourselves into a calmer state by simply changing our breath. By just extending your exhales longer than your inhales for a period of time, this then activates the parasympathetic (rest and calming) nervous system. But if you find that this exercise actually stirs your fight/flight response then gentle movement (eg walking) ...may be needed instead to find a sense of safety. Another exercise that is helpful is Trauma Release. Lying on your back, bend the knees and bring the bottoms of the feet together. Bring the feet to the floor with the heels close to the hips. Let the knees open wide apart. Lift the pelvis about 2cm off the ground and hold for 5 minutes or for as long as you can without pain. Drop your pelvis and with soles of your feet touching, lift knees 5cm off the ground for 5 minutes, then 10cm for 5 minutes and finally 15cm for 5 minutes. Then rest. The tremors vary from person to person. You may feel furious trembling or barely feel a thing. The more you do it the more the trembling will spread starting in your legs and hips, moving to your stomach, then chest and head. To see any difference, you may need to do the exercises every day for ten days. #nervoussystem #vagusnerve #fightorflight #parasympathetic #brain #chiropractor #trauma #traumarecovery #traumahealing #anxietyawareness #productivity #selfworth #worth #worthy #selfcare #selflove #breathe #breath #breathwork #survivalmode #polyvagaltheory #chiro #chiropracticadjustment #somatictherapy #traumarelease #shakeitoff #breathworkhealing #pranayama #movement #movementismedicine @ Melbourne, Victoria, Australia See more

07.01.2022 You are not a failure. You are not that meeting where you felt you sounded stupid. You are not the tremble in your voice, the anxiety in your stomach, or the self-doubt in your mind. You are not a bad graded assignment, or a presentation that went wrong. You are not defected because you arent married or dont have children. ... You are not the mistake you made, or a negative piece of criticism or a passive aggressive email. You are not the jobs you didn't get, or even the jobs you did. You are not unworthy because you dont know what you want from life. You are the person who shows up. Who tries. Who keeps going, even when they're feeling fragile. Who masters the mess of being human and managing a human body, with complex thoughts and feelings, as best they can. You are capable and brave and significant, even when it feels like you're not. You, with all of your complexities and intricacies and secrets and hopes are dreams, are enough. More than enough. Wonderful, in fact. There's so much more to you than what you do for a living. Success ebbs and flows. Like you, it changes with time. Sometimes you're ahead, sometimes you're behind. Sometimes you feel lost, sometimes you feel found. It's fleeting, always. And when you feel like you've finally got it in your grasp, it changes. Just like that. The parameters of success are never ending and always changing. You see, you can't focus your contentment or fulfilment on something that's never really yours to keep. Instead, all you can do is show up, do your best, and be kind to yourself. And to others. #thebodykeepsthescore #polyvagaltheory #traumahealing #reparenting #selfcompassion #somatics #therapyworks #healingyourself #avoidance #awareness #therapistofinstagram #traumatherapist #healingtrauma #emotionalhealing #stigmafree #traumarecovery #traumabond #mentalillnessrecovery #mindfulnessmatters #mentalhealthcounselling #positivepsychology #acceptance #counselorsofinstagram #vulnerabilityisstrength #holistichealer #energyshift #higherfrequncies #cptsd #emotionalhealth #copingskills See more

06.01.2022 When youre in survival mode, youre just trying to get through the day. We all experience highs and lows in our life. Moments where we are soaring and feel on top of the world. And moments where we come crashing down and life just feels too hard. So what does it mean to be in survival mode? Very simply, its when you are just doing enough to keep going. When you are barely coping. Your cup is spilling over fast. You feel exhausted, frustrated and drained. For some of us, thi...s represents our current way of life. In fact, it has become a way of life in western society. You may have reached a point where you accept that its just the way things are until your business picks up, or you find a better job, or your child starts school, or you find your dream partner, or until the crisis out of your control is over But the reality is that the only certainty you have is that if you dont change your response at some point, things will get progressively worse until you burn out. Its a dangerous way of living for any extended period of time. Because it will eventually wear you out physically and emotionally.Because all your energy is diverted to fighting fires that constantly flare up. There is little, if any, energy left to engage in positive, fulfilling and soul-enriching activities leading to learning, being in the present, or growth. Your mind will be on repeat of the past and the emotions that you felt during that time. Re firing and wiring the same fight or flight nervous system response over and over. #nervoussystem #brain #spine #fightorflight #polyvagaltheory #vagusnerve #stressmanagement #trauma #traumarecovery #brainfog #anxiety #depression #isolation #lonliness #exhausted #emotionalexhaustion #emotions #emotionalhealth #mindbody #mindbodysoul #chiropractor #pain #hopelessness #failure #anxious #anxiousmind #guthealth #sleep #brainwaves #neuroscience See more

04.01.2022 As we mature, we come to accept the legitimacy of the deep hole in our psyche and we cease trying to fill it with people, work, food, alcohol and other distractions. This radical assent is an unconditional yes to the fact that there is existential emptiness that is common to all human beings. We all find ourselves sometimes lost in a void of meaning within us. That void has other names- openness, fullness of possibility, self discovery. We can assent to that desolate place a...s a fitting feature of our inner landscape- just as we assent to the legitimacy of the Grand Canyon with no attempt to fill it. If the earth reflects our human nature, an unfillable hole must be as important to our inner ecology as it is to the planets. The Grand Canyon does not tell us that something is missing, only that not everything has been filled- David Richo #heavenonearth #heaven #void #empty #fulfillment #fulfilled #fulfilledlife #fulfilling #fulfilment #content #contentment #transformation #transcendence #transcend #acceptance #acceptyourself #surrender #happiness #anxietyawareness #triggered #triggers #reaction #ego #egos #being #awareness #awarenessiskey #awakening #awaken #awakenyoursoul See more

04.01.2022 Depression, Anxiety, Grief, Trauma....they can all be unpredictable. Some days you can endure intense circumstances and be so highly functioning, but other days you can experience a breakdown after receiving the wrong coffee order. It sneaks up on us at the most unpredictable times and how just when we think weve moved past the worst of it.. wham! The slight sound of song drifting through another drivers open window. The color of bridesmaids dresses at a wedding... the fa...ther daughter dance at a wedding. An old movie stumbled upon while surfing through channels. A date on the calendar. Smells of a neighbours cooking. A mother and child walking down the street smiling. A book on someones coffee table. Coffee. Or, nothing at all. It goes on and doesnt go away.Only the form changes, the intensity varying, but never completely waning. And thats okay. Treat it like a huge ball and instead of finding a way to get rid of it, we can make room for it: our lives grow a wider circle around it. And since we cant predict or control when memory triggers will find us and ignite new grief episodes, it may pop to full size at any time. Many clients come to me wanting this to go away, for it to be gone. I get it. But in my experience it doesnt. Its only when you become at peace with this and unpredictability that you can realise these emotions/triggers are not the enemy. They are proof that you have loved. That you are human xx #thebodykeepsthescore #polyvagaltheory #traumahealing #reparenting #selfcompassion #somatics #therapyworks #healingyourself #avoidance #awareness #therapistofinstagram #traumatherapist #healingtrauma #emotionalhealing #stigmafree #traumarecovery #traumabond #mentalillnessrecovery #mindfulnessmatters #mentalhealthcounselling #positivepsychology #acceptance #counselorsofinstagram #vulnerabilityisstrength #holistichealer #energyshift #higherfrequncies #cptsd #emotionalhealth #copingskills See more

02.01.2022 The real voyage of discovery consists not in seeking new landscapes, but in having new eyes. ~Marcel Proust I was asleep for the first thirty-one years of my life. I was jolted awake when I encountered my first profound experiences of grief and loss. Within a three year period I had 5 devastating recurrent pregnancy losses despite extensive & invasive medical treatments and all efforts to keep the pregnancies and had my mum suddenly comatosed after enduring a rare autoimmun...e brain disease (ADEM). I sat beside her in the ICU helplessly every day for three months and in hospital and rehabilitation for the many months following. The picture of the life I had painted with its carefully selected colors and images, began to bleed into unrecognisable shapes around me. This was my awakening. Awakening happens when the veil drops away and we discover we have very little, if any, control over what happens outside of ourselves. Its easy to believe in the fallacy of control when things go according to our predetermined plan. Its much harder when things do not align with the image we have illustrated for ourselves. When we dont get the promotion we have worked so hard for, closure or the sudden loss of the loved one we knew, the lover we have pined for, or the child we always dreamed of. What happens to our happiness when we attach ourselves to these external outcomes? Before my self-worth was tied to the success of my career and whether others approved of my life and my choices. I had to take a close look at myself and ask-What was the meaning of it all? What if not getting that promotion leads us to our true passion? Or the losses of a loved one wakes us up to the things in life that truly matter? If were consumed by our idea of what we want our life to be, or we wallow in disappointment when things dont go to plan, we close ourselves off from all the blessings that lie before us. Every time I feel sorry for myself or worry about things outside of my control, all I have to do is think of my mum & losses. Their existence has illuminated my own path to surrender. My original painting has transformed into a landscape more magnificent than I ever imagined.

01.01.2022 Pain. So many of us are in it. Are feeling it. In physical pain, emotional pain, soul pain. Yearning for the child like naivety free of responsibility and just being in the moment. Feeling the overwhelm in each day, sometimes each moment. Even each breath. So many are tired of being the rock for others whilst feeling so alone in their own fight. So many fearful that the future will bring more hardship than the past. So many lonely despite being surrounded by many. Not feeling... unconditionally loved, understood or valued. Some who have been hurt so intensely by the actions or words of other human beings. Others stuck living a life for others that they dont feel or know themselves anymore. Lift people up, believe in them. Help them. Be kind to them. Treat people how you would like to be treated. People walk into my practice smiling and then the mask is torn off, tears becoming unstoppable. People are hurting. Love and accept people for who they are and not who you wish them to be. This is your life. You had a 1 in 4 trillion chance of being born -you. There will never be a you again. Be you, your soul print. Dont tell people what they want to hear. Be the real you, dont hide. Listen. Dont judge. Go for the things that scare you the most. Dont stay somewhere thats not right because its comfortable. Dont lose hope because there has to be better days coming. Shine bright. We need more of that. #life #beyourself #beyou #beyourbestself #authentic #authenticity #authenticself #pain #emotionalexhaustion #soul #shinebright #shineyourlight #brave #strong #believeinyourself #believeinyou #judgementalpeople #free #happy #content #wishing #hurtfeelings #hurtpeoplehurtpeople #onelife #onelifeliveit #onelifetoomanydreams #traumahealing #lonliness #hopelessness #fightthepower See more
