You may look composed on the outside while inside different

parts of you are pulling in opposite directions

​

One part works hard to keep everything together, while others feel

 anxious, overwhelmed or  burned out

​

An inner critic may stay on high alert and another part may numb, withdraw, or go quiet when emotions feel like too much

​

​Your experiences may include clear, sudden trauma or wounds that developed slowly over time through chronic stress, emotional neglect,

or relationships where it felt safer not to need, trust, or rest

​​

Even if you don’t name it as trauma, your body remembers;

your nervous system learned how to survive

​​

You may live with a constant hum of anxiety or tension, perfectionism,

or people-pleasing that leaves little room to breathe

​​

Your body may express what words cannot through

fatigue, pain, tightness or persistent vigilance

​​

​

In the way that I understand healing, these are not flaws to be fixed, but systemic adaptations, protective parts that stepped in when you needed them most. They may feel confusing or extreme now, but they have been working hard on your behalf for a long time.

​

Healing unfolds in relationship. It happens through safety, attunement and respect for your inner world. You do not need to push yourself or relive what you’re not ready to touch. Our work may involve slowing down, listening to your body and gently getting curious about the parts that appear; always with consent, always at your pace.

​

If something in you feels ready or even quietly curious, I invite you to reach out. We can begin by listening together to what your system has been holding.
