You already have everything you need. Your body, m

You already have everything you need. Your body, mind, nervous system and spirit already have the ability to feel safe in connection. To feel secure and curious and playful.
.
Sometimes it's not always easy to believe this. There are only so many times you can give yourself the self-love pep talk, and bubblebaths don't always cut it.
.
But it's true: even when you feel anxious and alone, and everything feels too much, there is a part of you that knows and remembers how to feel connected and safe. It might be hiding a little, behind lots of layers of protection, which you use to keep you from feeling overwhelmed. But it's there!
.
It can take lots of little baby steps to work through those layers of protection. It's not always a quick process, but it doesn't need to be a long, hard slog either.
.
Some of the work you can do on your own, and some of it works best with another person around.
.
Wherever you are on the journey, I have some free tools that you might find helpful. They are simple, practical things you can try, whether you're on your own or you have someone else you can ask for help.

Ever feel like something was 'missing' from therap

Ever feel like something was 'missing' from therapy? You've been having sessions to try and break out of old patterns, or quieten anxious thoughts. And while it felt helpful... you've been struggling to really apply what you've learned to real life.
.
Sometimes traditional psychotherapy is held as the answer to everything. And for lots of people it's a really important part of the journey - especially if you have specific diagnoses of depression, personality disorders, or you need longer-term support.
.
But if that's not where you're at - if your mental health is good but you're still struggling with boundaries, trust, or communication - therapy might not be the best option.
.
Here's why:
.
Lots of therapeutic modalities work in a top-down way. This means that they focus on challenging thoughts, stories, and beliefs - things that happen on a cognitive level. While this is beneficial, it misses an important aspect.
.
The opposite approach is a bottom-up approach, which instead brings attention to feelings, emotions, and sensations felt in the body. Starting in this place is a more effective way to work with emotional triggers, because when we get triggered into anxiety, fear, or insecurity, the logical part of our brain shuts down!
.
The way I work is to use both of these approaches to support each other. Gently challenging stories and beliefs, while giving space for feelings and deeper level sensations too. This is a powerful way to actually integrate change.
.
Again, this isn't for everyone - my process works best for people who already have good mental health and are ready to go deep.
.
But if that sounds like you, and you're ready to make some real changes in your relationships, shoot me a DM and let's talk.

Do you know the difference between people-pleasing

Do you know the difference between people-pleasing and giving from your centre?
.
People pleasing: Your energy is usually focused on the other person, anticipating their needs and making sure you're always providing for them. You want to share everything with them and make sure they are happy, and you hate the thought of ever upsetting them - after all, you try so hard to make sure they always have what they need.
.
Doesn't sound so bad, right? Except here, all of your focus is on the other person.
.
Who is taking care of you? Do you ever get what you *really* want?
.
Sadly, the media romanticises this kind of relationship, which is codependent and leads to a lot of resentment.
.
Contrast with...
.
Giving from your centre: Your energy is focused on yourself. You are able to ask the other person for things you want, and you're not afraid to hear a 'no', knowing that it won't affect the relationship. You feel a lot of security in knowing that you're in touch with your own needs, while the other person can ask you for theirs, too. Because you feel nourished by being able to ask and receive the things you want, you're able to give and share with the other person within your boundaries, knowing that the energy you give to them is coming from that fullness in yourself. Generosity feels easy and genuine, rather than necessary to avoid conflict or disagreement, and focusing a little of your energy on the other person doesn't knock you off your centre.
.
This is how healthy relationships work - when both people can share their feelings and needs honestly, in the moment, and both people can give an honest 'no' when they need to.
.
Which one resonates most with you?
