The therapy niches that found me didn’t fall into my lap by accident.

They came as a gentle push toward understanding…

-the grievers
-the abused
-the dismissed

The people who are considered “high-achievers” or “too sensitive”

Somewhere along the way, these therapy niches stopped feeling like coincidences, and started feeling like callings🌸

What do you do when your body is trying to tell you something, but you don’t have words for it?

When you find yourself struggling with..
- intense anger that feels disproportionate
- anxious thoughts that you can’t slow down
- feelings of emptiness and exhaustion, as if every feeling (even joy), has been dialled down?

When we struggle in ways we don’t understand, it’s hard to figure out what we can do to help ourselves.

Through Window of Tolerance work, you’ll get the opportunity to map out your nervous system and your signs of overwhelm before a crisis hits. From there, you can build a coping toolkit that is tailored specifically to your needs.

Think of it like installing a smoke detector in a home before it catches fire 🏠

Whether you’re navigating death loss, family estrangement, a breakup, or other kinds of grief, letter-writing can be a powerful tool for healing.

It can be used to…
- process unfinished business
- express feelings like love, anger, longing, or guilt
- offer compassion and reassurance to the parts of yourself carrying grief (“what would you say to a friend going through this?”)

Letter-writing isn’t meant to close the door on your feelings, but to give them an outlet when they have nowhere else to go.

(NOTE: Since letter-writing can potentially bring some uncomfortable feelings to the surface, it’s always a good idea to do this with a trusted family member, friend, or therapist)

Outside the therapy techniques and theories, music has a special way of speaking to the parts of us that feel scared, angry, and alone.

When life feels impossible to live with, it’s important to stay connected to the tunes that speak to the parts that also want to live despite the pain.

To remind us that there’s reasons to live.

Whether that reason is..
-family and friends,
-a musician you always wanted to see live,
-a place that’s been on your bucket list,
-simple moments like seeing a sunset, waterfall, going to the beach, or riding a bike

I often call myself a container in the therapy space.

A container that safely holds my client’s sadness, grief, anger and hopelessness.

When people realize that they can express the true depth of their pain without fear of judgement, they give themselves permission to be truly seen by another person.

One step at a time.

Sometimes when people go through situations where they've been hurt, they learn that to feel safe, they have to shrink.

When hiding, fighting, or running isn't an option, they may sacrifice their boundaries, avoid conflict and people-please to protect themselves.

This is not an exhaustive list, but these patterns are often referred as a “fawn” trauma response.

Although this is often the case for people who have experienced abuse, it's also relevant for people who felt misunderstood or who were praised for being "easy."

Although it's easy to blame your passive or people-pleasing parts, it's important to understand that they may have kept you safe from:

• abandonment
• rejection
• being dismissed
• being judged
• emotional or physical harm

So next time you ask yourself “what’s wrong with me?”

Ask instead: “how did I keep myself safe?

In my previous post, I touched on the nature of feelings and what tends to happen when we take the time to nurture ourselves.

In particular, when we “feel our feelings” in small, safe doses to build our capacity.

A huge part of my work is helping clients attune to their feelings little-by-little, in ways that honor their capacity, limitations, and consent.

What does this ACTUALLY look like?

There are so many ways to show clients how to do this, but here is a little superpower I like to pull out of clients💜 (when they feel ready to do so).

Expansion work allows you to…

- acknowledge your sensations rather than pushing them away.

- get curious about your feelings instead of fearing them,

- stay present while going the motions of grief, anger, shame, or anxiety.

If your curiosity is peaked, don’t hesitate to contact me to book a free consultation💛

Many clients come to therapy already having the answers. They can..

- map out the root of their issues, behaviours and feelings,

- label their feelings as “good” or “bad”,

-or give you a play-by-play of their worst memory, as if they are reading a handbook.

But understanding your feelings is not the same as feeling them.

What does it mean to ACTUALLY feel your feelings?

It means noticing where those emotions show up in your body, getting curious about them, and meeting what you notice with compassion.

Whether that be a shake, muscle tension, or a teary feeling in your eyes.

Sounds uncomfortable? It can be.

But feeling your feelings isn’t about flooding yourself with years worth of hurt, but learning how to build your capacity for distress in small, safe doses.

So you feel less of an urge to shut down, dissociate, hide away, or rely on substances.

For people that have spent most of their lives silenced, this process can feel deeply empowering, as they learn how to build self-trust in their ability to cope.

Avoiding your pain can be helpful in the moment, but in attempting to dial back uncomfortable feelings,

You end up dialling back joy and love.

In therapy, you can learn how to befriend whatever shows up, meeting it with the same care you would offer an old friend💛
