Dear Little Me

I don't want kids.

On The HEAL BLOG this week don't miss My Mother Had Narcissistic Personality Disorder.

Mandy was a little girl lost. She went through more trauma than most humans will ever understand. And Mandy decided that because of her own experiences she would never have kids of her own.  But at some point this changed and Mandy had two children who she adored.  But despite years and years of sitting in talk therapy, raising her own children meant deeply held trauma reared its ugly head and Mandy was devastated. She felt triggered, angry and at times, out of control. That’s when Mandy discovered somatic healing and began her journey of healing trauma through the body.  If talk therapy has only taken you so far on your healing journey you need to hear what Mandy is sharing. You can find Mandy on Instagram Facebook and her Website.

Why do I feel less than?

On The HEAL BLOG this week don't miss My Mother Had Narcissistic Personality Disorder.

Christina grew up in a good family. They loved each other and she was cared for. But as the middle child, Christina never felt good enough. Her older sister was the golden child and her brother was the exceptional younger child. Her siblings seemed to excel at life and yet nobody placed any expectation on Christina who was struggling with undiagnosed ADHD. Christina's family were deep into the church and believed following all the rules made them good people. Meanwhile Christina felt like a prisoner inside her own head. Even her thoughts felt unsafe in a religious environment where there were rules around what you were allowed to think. There are so many reasons we feel less than and this story shares how Christina overcame hers. Christina is a Certified Life and Energy Coach, Specializing in Self Relationship. You can find Christina's website HERE ⁠and she is on instagram HERE

Somatic healing and the nervous system.

What is self sabotage and why does it happen? In this quick chat episode I am speaking with Jamie McCoy, Psychotherapist and Trauma Coach. In her twenties, Jamie was literally bed-ridden with brain fog, chronic fatigue, fibromyalgia and eventually received a diagnosis of Lyme disease. Jamie healed herself by healing her nervous system. When you engage in self-destructive behaviors, it is not necessarily because you're not trying hard enough or you don't want it badly enough, it's because in your nervous system, you may not feel safe to have what you want. You can work with Jamie by contacting her via her Instagram and you should definitely take a look at her course The Nervous System Reset

Does a parent's trauma affect their children?

Get your ACE score (Adverse Childhood Experiences test) HERE.

Azzah grew up in Australia with parents who were from Russia and who had survived the war.  They were traumatised.  It could be a beautiful, sunny Australian day and her parents were reacting to things that had happened decades before, in a different country, in a different time.  And that’s the thing about trauma.  It doesn’t matter what’s happening in the here and now, it stays with us and changes our lives forever.  Azzah says she was born a therapist.  She needed to fix and save and she would swing back and forth between loving her parents and hating them.  She felt unloved, unsupported and at times suicidal.  Azzah has a refreshing take on healing and some unique insights into trauma and healing that you will definitely find helpful. You can find Azzah on HER WEBSITE.

Get to know your true self with the enneagram.

DO THE TEST! DISCOVER YOUR TRUE SELF HERE

On the HEAL BLOG this week The Facts About Complex Trauma

How does the enneagram help you discover your true self? I am chatting with Samantha Mackay, Enneagram Coach, who says your personality is actually a defence mechanism that is hiding your true self. You are not your personality. Your personality is a psychological structure designed to keep all the trauma and wounds hidden and protected from view. As a child this is an important survival strategy. As an adult we have the capacity to function differently, however we have forgotten that we are using these survival strategies because it has become our normal. The enneagram tells us which survival strategies we are using so that we can break through these survival strategies, find our true selves and live as our true selves.
