Dealing with past trauma

The secret to living wholeheartedly with trauma, is to realise that a trauma reaction is a natural response to our experiences, and not something we need to get rid of or fight. It’s our body working with us, and letting us know that we need to take care of ourselves. And when we see our nervous system reaction as part of our human-Ness, we can look at ourselves with more understanding and compassion.

Teens, Self worth & Resilience

Moving Forward & Unsticking Yourself

It’s really painful to feel insecure. When we are in a constant state of inadequacy, we struggle more with life, decision making, and how we live and find our place in the world.

But… What if there were something simple, something we have always known deep-down but sometimes forgot or failed to appreciate, that would set us free from our insecurities, stress and anxiety?

What if the human spirit is invincible, even when we don’t feel it?

Confidence happens when you’re not engaged with your thinking.

Confidence happens when you allow yourself to get out of your own way. Confidence happens when you don’t believe the decisions that you made up about yourself.

Rebuilding after Sexual Abuse

Are we defined by the traumatic experiences we have had in our past?

Is there a way to get past triggers?

Can we ever be “normal” ?

Absolutely!

We are not defined by our experiences unless we let ourselves be. I am so much more than my memories, my past, my childhood, my experiences. I can choose to be so much more than all of that. Once I realise that I have a choice, it sets me free from any one or any thing, that may seem to mark the measure of who I am.

Parenting

Do you feel overwhelmed about getting parenting right?
Are you filled with doubt and worry that you are going to mess up?

What are your responsibilities around parenting? What is in our locus of control and what is not? Can we ensure that our kids grow up to be successful? Happy? Married? Wealthy? Ok?

How would we parent differently if we knew in our hearts that our kids had everything they need inside of them to deal with whatever comes their way?

Life struggles, depression, anxiety and everything else that comes with being alive and living this life:

We can’t win the human condition (believe me: I’ve tried).

There is a place for everything. Sadness, stress, Joy & Love. Is it possible to access your inbuilt resilience & live with total peace of mind while having all of life’s experiences. The very fact that we are human means that we are going to feel every emotion there is to feel. And that’s ok. Just because a feeling doesn’t feel good, doesn’t mean it’s bad. It just means you’re having a human experience. No matter what happens… regardless of the ups and downs of existence, We’ll spend every moment of our lives having an experience. The magic and joy of life is seeing the possibility of living with both joy and sadness at the same time. With love and disappointment, with anxiety and hope. And the ability to balance all this is to truly life life to the full.
