Part of the healing journey is becoming aware of your emotional reactions rather than automatically becoming identified with them.

Be curious about what you are bringing from previous experiences into the present one.

If these words resonate with you and you are ready to explore your own healing journey, write “HEALING” in the comments to receive a free 20-minute Zoom conversation.

You do not have to heal alone.

With love,

Children who do not experience emotional or physical safety do not react with aversion toward their caregivers.
Instead, they react by rejecting themselves.

This helps us understand why, for many of us, self-love can seem so overwhelming in adulthood.

As my beloved teacher says:
"Safety is not the absence of threat. It is the presence of connection."

How do you connect with others?
How do you connect with yourself?

With love,
Tatjana

Τα παιδιά που δεν βιώνουν συναισθηματική ή σωματική ασφάλεια δεν αντιδρούν με αποστροφή απέναντι στους φροντιστές τους. Οχι.

Τα παιδιά αντιδρούν απορρίπτοντας τον εαυτό τους.

Αυτό μας βοηθάει να κατανοήσουμε γιατί, σε πολλούς από εμάς, η αγάπη προς τον εαυτό μπορεί να φαίνεται αρκετά δύσκολη στην ενήλικη ζωή μας.

Όπως λέει και ο αγαπημένος μου δάσκαλος
«Ασφάλεια δεν είναι η απουσία της απειλής. Είναι η παρουσία της σύνδεσης»

Εσύ με ποιον τρόπο έχεις μάθει να συνδέεσαι με τους σημαντικούς άλλους;
Με ποιον τρόπο συνδέεσαι με τον εαυτό σου;

Με αγάπη,
Τάτιανα

I rarely use the words “never” and “should”… especially not both in the same sentence, but here it is:

I never liked the word “should”!

What “should” is limiting your happiness?

As one of my favorite mentors through my NDI psychotherapy training, Carl Rogers, reminds us:

“The curious paradox is that when I accept myself just as I am, then I can change.”

The same is true for our needs.
When we stop judging them and start listening, we create space for real healing.

At the end of the day, what truly matters is this: are you living a life true to yourself, or one shaped by what others expect of you?

(If this resonates with you, I’d love to hear your thoughts 💭🤗)

When you have a difficult time feeling your feelings, remember that your ψυχή (psychē, which is the Greek word for soul and is a root word for psychology, psychotherapy, etc.) is full of knowledge, wisdom of eternity, and bliss.

In therapy, we are learning to feel our feelings without allowing them to drive our bus.

We are learning to be present, to balance our Fire and our Water, and to witness, understand, and choose the direction that is aligned with our ψυχή, authenticity, self-care, love, and ease of life.

Love is a verb.
Love is the deepest form of healing.

Love creates a space for connection, safety, meaning and belonging.

Love gives us the courage to meet ourselves and others with compassion and forgiveness.

Nature is the fastest way to remember who you are, before the world told you who to be.
