The Liminal Therapist

There was a point when I realized I held grief for the version of me that drank too much.

Logically, my life was so much better without alcohol.

But so much changed. My relationships, my habits, my ability to be present. It was for the better - and yet it was drastically different.

And so often we don't have these conversations. You can change your life for the better and still grieve the life you leave behind.

This episode is about how we can hold grief and gratitude at the same time as we move through transition.

You constantly push yourself to do more because rest feels uncomfortable… what would happen if you could find more safety with being?

What if you taught your system capacity to pause?

The lists, emails, efforting will be there later.

You deserve both a full life and space to rest.
