My Personal Journey
My journey into mental well-being began early in life as I navigated the challenges of depression, anxiety, and an eating disorder. I often felt overwhelmed by the complexity of my thoughts, emotions, and behaviours, with a deep sense of disconnection and longing for meaning and purpose. Along the way, I faced relationship breakdowns, workplace bullying and was diagnosed with an autoimmune condition, which culminated in a 'mental breakdown.' This painful period ultimately set me on a path of self-discovery and the pursuit of deeper well-being.
In the midst of this chaos, I was drawn to studying psychology, believing it held the key to understanding myself. However, I soon grew disillusioned with the clinical and medical models that focused on diagnosing without fostering true healing as for for many years, I engaged in talk therapy, which was helpful at the time, providing insights and coping strategies. Yet, despite the support, something still felt off. It didn’t reach the core of what was truly going on within me. I sensed that the healing I sought needed to go beyond just understanding my thoughts—it had to involve my mind, body, and soul on a deeper level.
This led me to the fields of counselling and psychotherapy, where I found a more expansive and exploratory approach. My interest in early relationship attachment dynamics and the embodied nature of trauma were ignited but it wasn’t until I began studying Embodied Processing that everything finally fell into place. This approach connected all the dots and gave me the tools to address the core of my emotional struggles. This bottom-up method for healing trauma and regulating the nervous system draws on the body’s wisdom to release stress and restore balance. Embodied Processing offers hope for genuine transformation. It acknowledges the profound connection between mind, body, and soul, allowing us to gently explore the foundations of our experiences and return to an embodied, harmonious state of being.
