23.01.2022 Hello All, I’m still here, I hope you haven’t forgotten me! I’m sorry for not posting much in recent months, I’ve had a few changes and family priorities happening. Thank you to all of you who have stuck around. I’m still busy working behind the posting that I was previously doing. ... For those that are new here, my name is Melissa, the person behind Wholeness of You. I am hoping to get back into posting soon, thank you all for sticking around again and I’m looking forward to engaging with you all again!

23.01.2022 Self-care is more pampering oneself. Self-care is small things like brushing our teeth, to big things like holidays, time off work for our mental health and more. It is doing things that help us long term that positively impact us. There are things you do everyday that most of us do not even recognise the impact they have on us. Some positive, some negative. ... Are you prioritising yourself? Compassionately, Melissa

18.01.2022 The holiday season can be a triggering time for many. We can experience feelings of insecurity because of those triggers. Sometimes because of that we engage in certain behaviours that may not be healthy in attempts to soothe those emotions. Be kind to yourself, you are human and we all do or have done these! The important thing is to become aware of them and identify whether they are truly healthy for you! Compassionately,... Melissa See more

18.01.2022 Sometimes it can feel like we are getting nowhere. I want to reassure you that you are making progress, even if you don’t see it. Even when we can see the old coping habits creeping in or actively doing them. You are at a different point of self awareness now this is why you have grown. Don’t discount the work you have done. Remember recovery is not linear. Compassionately, Melissa

17.01.2022 May you all be safe this holiday season. Please look after yourself - be mindful of triggers and what you can do that enables self-soothing in a healthy way. Compassionately, Melissa

13.01.2022 There are times to avoid triggers and there are times to learn about them. Triggers are messages of the unhealed parts within us. When calm and grounded we can reflect about our triggers with curiosity to learn about them and what they are telling us. Looking to learn why is this a trigger. We may immediately want to avoid our triggers and not think about them at all. But how many things can you avoid until your comfort zone is so small you are barely doing anything or the ...emotional avoidance begins to be demanded to be heard and felt through ailments in the body? Compassionately, Melissa

12.01.2022 Welcome to Wholeness of You! For those that have been here a while, you will know that I have recently had a name change from Melissa Holdway - The Counselling Coach.

06.01.2022 I am excited to announce that behind the scenes I have been quietly working on my certifications in Somatic Embodiment and Regulation Strategies (Levels 1-3)! These strategies are helpful for learning to regulate the nervous system which can be impacted through mental health, trauma and when we experience triggers. Learning to regulate our nervous system is incredibly important to help us more from a fight, flight, and freeze state. This is a reason that many strategies in ...therapy that focus on cognitive strategies do not work initially because our thinking brain the prefrontal cortex has gone offline and we are operating from our feeling brain the amygdala. Once we soothe the nervous system we are able to move back into our thinking brain with the prefrontal cortex coming back online. Once we do we are then able to proceed with cognitive strategies. Compassionately, Melissa

05.01.2022 What is holding you back from stepping forward into a new chapter? Why are you not turning the page? Is it a particular belief that sparks fear in you?... You have a choice that you alone can make, so will you? Compassionately, Melissa

04.01.2022 We are all on different paths of our own individual journey. Each path and journey is uniquely different. This means to compare our journey to another is not an even comparison and it is unfair on you. Stop comparing yourself to people who are not walking in your shoes! Compassionately,... Melissa

04.01.2022 Speaking up can be challenging especially when dealing with mental health and trauma that makes us feel invisible, dismissed or avoided. As someone who used to minimise my needs, I can tell you that learning to be assertive and voice your needs is truly worth it. Not only does it help those around you hear, see and understand but it helps you cultivate self worth, self love and confidence. What do you struggle the most with to speak up about? ... Compassionately, Melissa

03.01.2022 It hurts to sit in our wounded parts of self. It can feel messy, scary, painful and like you’re going backwards. The hardest part is learning to trust the process of breaking open. I’m writing this with tears in my eyes because of how much I can relate to this process and understand how it feels. ... It is not forever, it will pass, but first we must go through it to grow through it. Compassionately, Melissa
