Presence isn’t about mindset.

It’s about frequency. 🧠

SMR (sensory motor rhythm) at 12-15Hz allows for calm, internal presence and external attention. 🧘

If you’re curious about this, you may want to explore neurofeedback.

Dissociation is not simply “zoning out.” 🤔

It involves a disruption in how the mind processes information, creating a sense of disconnection from thoughts, feelings, memories, surroundings, or even one’s sense of identity and time. ⏰

It can occur in response to experiences that are especially distressing or overwhelming.

Dissociation can function as a protective coping response when an experience feels too overwhelming to fully process. 🛡️

While someone may consciously avoid painful memories or emotions, dissociation itself is often not something they deliberately choose.

Some people describe it as feeling like they are watching a movie of their own life rather than experiencing it directly. 🎥

If you find yourself disconnecting from difficult emotions, memories, or experiences, you do not have to work through them alone. 🫂

Therapy can provide a space to explore what you are feeling, understand how you may be coping, and develop supportive ways of processing difficult experiences.

If you’re ready to explore therapy, we’re here. ❤️‍🩹

Our intake team will guide you through the process and help match you with a therapist based on your needs, preferences, and schedule.

Book a consultation today to take the first step. 🫂

This week I was honoured to present at the European Society for Trauma and Dissociation congress in Lisbon. 🇵🇹

Our presentation centred around working with orienting tension in Deep Brain Reorienting, specifically how tracking subcortical responses reduces dissociation during shock processing in complex OCD cases.

Very grateful to Dr. Frank Corrigan, the creator of Deep Brain Reorienting.

Special thanks to Paula Reis, MSW, RSW , elyse_353, Vítor Silvério Moreira, Geórgia Balogianni!

Here’s why you SHOULD be apologizing as a therapist ⬇️

I was pretty shocked to hear about how many therapists are taught to never apologize to clients.

Although I can understand the reasoning behind it, I absolutely disagree.

As therapists we need to be genuine with our clients and interrupt the cycle of negative authority.

It’s important to acknowledge our errors and recognize that we need to be perceived as authentic people, even by our clients. 🫂

She’s sweet one day and a bitch the next. 💢

She’s exhausted from holding it all together. ⬇️

There’s a pattern most people miss.🤔

She accommodates. And accommodates. And accommodates.

Until she can’t.

Then she’s “too much.”

What looks like a personality switch is actually a nervous system sequence. Over-accommodation is a protective defence.🤺

It keeps connection safe. It keeps conflict away. It keeps her from being abandoned, rejected, or punished for having needs.

But protection has a cost. Every unspoken need.
Every swallowed boundary. Every “I’m fine” that wasn’t fine.

It accumulates in the body.

And eventually the nervous system hits its limit.

What comes out isn’t anger for no reason.
It’s every moment of self-abandonment finally surfacing.

The rage is the wound finally refusing to stay quiet.

The people around her see sweet to bitch.

What’s actually happening is collapse to survival.🧯

Both are protective. Neither is who she actually is.

The work isn’t to manage the rage. It’s to understand what the accommodation was protecting.

When she no longer needs the defence, she no longer needs the explosion.

Save this if someone has ever called you too much.

You were never too much.

You were under-resourced and over-responsible.

Today is World Su***de Prevention Day ❤️‍🩹

Here are a few reminders ⬇️

Pain that has no language deserves witness and relief ❤️‍🩹

Asking for help is not weakness. It’s the bravest thing your nervous system can do when it’s been on survival mode for years. 🫁

You don’t have to be in crisis to deserve support. 🫂

If this brought up something your nervous system is letting you know it’s ok to reach out for support. 🤝

We’re here to help ❤️‍🩹⬇️

The gap between the life you’re building and the life your family expected you to live can feel like a betrayal.

It isn’t.

It’s a declaration.

The nervous system is wired for belonging, which means choosing your own path often activates the same threat response as exile.

Your body reads independence as abandonment, and so does theirs. 💔

But staying small to keep the peace isn’t loyalty. It’s a quiet agreement to disappear.

The bravest thing you can do for the people you love is to stop needing their permission to exist fully. 🏞️❤️‍🩹
