‘Give us gladness that connects
with the Friend, a taste of the quick,
you that make a cypress strong
and jasmine, jasmine.

Give us the inner listening
that is a way in itself
and the oldest thirst there is.

Don’t measure it out with a cup.
I am a fish. You are the moon.
You cannot touch me, but your light
can fill the ocean where I live.’

🐠🌙🐠🌙🐠

This is my favourite poem written by the 13th century Persian poet and Sufi master Jalaluddin Rumi.

It conjures up so many feelings and much the same as the ocean, our emotions are ever changing with the ebb and flow of life, we are fluid beings and cannot be kept at just one state.

For me, Rumi’s message speaks of self trust, recognising our inner voice which holds all the truth and light we are seeking, it has always been there, moving from life to life along with our essence, filling us to the brim, the greatest expanse as the ocean, and all we have to do is dip our toes in.

What does Rumi’s poem mean to you?

You deserve to be loved, to receive the encouragement to want to soar to the greatest heights.

In my therapy room I see those whose wings have been clipped, also those whose wings have been ripped clean off.

Many clients cannot believe they even deserve a pair wings in the first place, feeling completely invisible and of no importance at all.

Feather by feather I help them see their worth, their infinite value and their full potential.

They experience these values through my total belief in them, where a genuine caring and heartfelt fondness is reflected back to them, as fledgling wings begin to form.

It’s the gift of therapy, and the beautiful part is, we all can add another feather to each other’s wings if we want to, the world over, it all begins with kindness, presence, thoughtfulness, patience and encouragement.

So whose wings could you add another feather to today?

As those last rays of August sun disappear beneath the horizon.

May your first September sunrise bestow upon you the purest light to guide your heart forward with love.

I’d love to share some thoughts with you about layers of being, so aptly illustrated here by the layers of petals in this beautiful rose.

My journey within this topic began on Friday where I attended a yoga workshop which focused on The Koshas.

Each Kosha represents one of the various, interrelated levels of our human experience which are interwoven, only one being visible to the physical eye, yet all were accessed through our deep asana practice at this workshop.

On this occasion we focused on the pranāmaya kośa or the energy body, such fascinating aspects were revealed such as;

⚡️ The word pranāmaya comes from two
Sanskrit roots: prana (vital life force) and maya (composed of, made up of).

🧘🏼‍♀️The pranamaya kosha is known as the “sheath composed of prana” - the energetic blueprint that gives the physical body its vitality, rhythm, and capacity for movement.

🌬️Also known as the vital sheath or the breath body, as the breath is its most accessible expression.

🧍🏼‍♀️This layer was first formally described in the Taittiriya Upanishad, an ancient text that mapped the human being into five concentric layers, from the densest to the most subtle.

🌟The pranāmaya kośa is more refined than flesh but coarser than thought.

🫀Without it, the physical body would be inert; with it, you breathe, your heart pulses, your digestion churns, and your nervous system communicates from cell to cell.

🌙 The pranāmaya kośa is not exotic or distant. It is as close as your next breath.

🌸 By learning to feel this layer, you gain a direct lever on energy, mood, and presence — one that does not require equipment, ideology, or even much time.

🙏🏻 Begin with the breath you are already taking, slow it down, and the rest of yoga begins to make sense from the inside out.

I hope you enjoyed learning about the pranāmaya kośa. Much love 🧡

✨Sad Post Alert ✨

Reaching a place that feels like the beginnings of acceptance is a landmark moment in therapy.

Especially when the person I’m sitting with is grieving the loss of their precious child.

This was the case for a young mother I worked with who was grieving the sudden loss of her baby, her presence ghostlike, mirroring this loss, her heart wracked with abject pain, each beat bringing a fresh downpour of tears, as she wondered why it betrayed her beat after broken beat.

The only thought that kept her going in these early months was the thought that he was still here.

She knew the reality deep down, but this was far too raw to exist within for now.

In this I met her exactly where she was, as this place felt bearable to her, being the point she had reached on this journey..

This thought allowed her to carry on, it kept her alive, it was the only reality she was able to face.

So here she dwell. Within the sanctuary of non-reality, where she inevitably began to piece herself back together, she began to heal.

Nestled within this quiet place inside she was able to be still with herself, to answer her own tears with understanding and compassion as the rawest pain relentlessly tore at her heart.

Those self destructive levels of longing couldn’t reach her hidden behind this protective wall she had created.

With my support she existed within these debilitating feelings, which meds didn’t touch, so she refused to take them as she was able to function with this natural layer of anaesthesia she had chosen to apply.

Gradually the light broke through, the patience and time she’d spent with herself, which often oscillated hugely, had brought her nearer to a place of accepting her beloved boy had gone.

One step and one day at a time is where she is now, as she knows the waves of grief will take her backwards just as easily as forwards, the momentum of grief being all she can be sure of, a new reality she is learning to adapt to and accept.

Sitting in silence with clients, holding that sacred space for them to experience themselves within their most painful feelings, is a powerful and essential part of any therapeutic journey.

The key is providing a safe and trusting environment for them to be vulnerable and raw within, to meet themselves anew as they recollect and relive some of the worst moments of their lives.

In this, even in silence, they are enveloped and held tight within my empathetic understanding, which, in these moments, is felt viscerally by us both, the reciprocity of our therapeutic relationship.

Working at relational depth in this way, has an intensely healing way of restoring clients, reparitively, as an original care giver may be expected to and, in many cases, has not.

Through it all, clients trust that I can hold it all for them, keeping it safe in my heart as I would any precious secret, until next time.

The work is very deep, heartfelt, where I give so much of my self to them within the genuine care, compassion and interventions that I offer.

It’s the most wonderful work helping to heal and restore others to their former glory, it is also often transcendent, as time and time again the universe seems to bring the clients that I can help the most, aligning my skill set, specialisms and personality so beautifully with their needs and preferences.

It’s a popular belief amongst therapists that the ‘universe brings you the clients you need’ as it’s very often a relationship that is healing for us both ✨✨

Out of all the presentations I see within my therapy room, clients who feel they have a narcissist in their life are by far the most common.

They seek me out mainly because this is one of my niche areas, having been in several intimate narcissistic relationships myself, the most malignant of which formally diagnosed exhibiting all 10 criteria.

As part of my own healing journey, I have intensely studied this topic and before becoming a therapist, I supported and was a listening ear to my friends, who like me, had been dismissed by professionals and their fears ignored, perpetuating my own abuse and the plight of my family far longer than it needed to be.

Now 16 years on I am armed with a tool box of healing techniques to share with my clients, where experience has shown me that validating and listening with empathy to their experiences is an important first part of this process, as many have experienced loved ones growing tired of them going over and over it, this repetition being essential to healing.

Most clients have a suspicion their person has this condition, so we begin on the premise that even though I can’t diagnose this condition, enough narcissistic traits are often relayed to conclude that it’s likely present.

I discourage getting too caught up on the label, as this condition is often co-morbid with other neurodiversity’s, which makes for a complicated process of assessment and diagnosis for a psychiatrist.

We focus on the intolerable and traumatising abuse they have endured.

Healing from this insidious abuse takes time and some clients are so lost in the fog that they still believe the abuse was love.

Our therapeutic relationship is often the best healing factor in this case, just to feel safe with me in co-regulation, reacquaints them with an inner stillness they had long forgotten and the feeling of peace without adrenal reactions 🖤

Everything we have ever experienced still exists within our bodies.

Traumatic experiences can become very deeply repressed often as a coping mechanism in order to function with them.

Symptoms clients initially present with are sometimes indicative of the depth of repression and seriousness of the trauma.

These experiences are reopened or become ‘triggered’ when external stimuli tap into the places within us where the experience exists, the stimuli itself along with the wound that it opened, offer clues as to its genesis, which is why accessing our memories somatically, for example:

* Drawing from the felt sense;
* Titration & Pendulation;
* Tuning into our bodily sensations;
* Observing body language;
* ‘Putting the mind’ into gestures & unusual bodily actions like rocking and fist clenching, etc, to set up a direct dialogue with that part;
* The interpretations of this by the client;
* An almost sixth sense perceptiveness by the therapist to home in on nuanced changes in the client;
* Their connecting the dots to other moments in their lives that have elicited similar deep responses.

Is often a far more reliable means of investigation into trauma than cognitive memory recall alone.

Most importantly this therapeutic process needs to be grounded in safety, to intrinsically provide the client the ultimate ‘permission’ to revisit traumatic memories born of their somatic sensing, to realign and reincorporate those parts of themselves into who they are ‘becoming’ without the shackles of those traumatic symptoms that have been holding them back.

As an offshoot of this, somatic therapy helps the client rebuild trust in themselves and intuit sensing, which also became something to distrust.

Relationship with self also strengthens & as the pieces come together & the client maps out their experience in this somatic way, this very often impacts upon other areas of their lives & brings about a whole life evaluation of relationships, career & aspirations where they can realign these to far better serve the person they are transforming into, on this life altering journey back to themselves 🦋

Within the depths,
a quiet exhale,
held lifelong.

Memories trapped inside,
turn to dialogue.
Fully seen,
fully heard,
fully felt.

Words so jagged left unsaid,
until safety held them for you.
So precious in their newness,
stepping stones for you to tread.
Where gold shall fill the cracks
left in their wake.

Such tiny steps we take,
sometimes forward,
sometimes back.
Safe in this momentum.

Gentle waves bring trust,
in yourself and in me.
Growing stronger along with you.
A beautiful flower opening to the possibility
of a life without fear.

🩵✨🩵✨🩵✨

✨ The developmentally needed relationship offers my clients a reparative experience, within which they feel, sometimes for the first time, moments of safety within our trusted therapeutic bond.

🩵 Where something different happens in relationship from what their nervous system learned to expect.

✨ This helps their body begin to revise all it once knew and predicted about how relationships work.

🩵 These changes often happen very slowly and quietly, evolving into a change clients often encounter viscerally before they can name.

✨ Also producing shifts within their attachment style, where earned secure attachment is modelled by and created with me experientially, rather than within early childhood nurturing.

🩵 So it’s safe to say, the reparative, developmentally needed relationship is the closest example of healing within therapeutic ‘love’ we have in this process.

✨ Providing them with the validation, attunement, understanding and encouragement, all of which were sorely lacking at the genesis of their life story.
