Start Slowly and Imperfectly!
Getting started is the often hardest part. We can get stuck planning and overwhelmed in the details. Action is how we gain confidence and momentum. Take the first step. Pause, orient, let nervous system adjust and feel safe.
Give your brain, body and nervous system evidence that you can and have successfully handled change.
You don’t need to have all the answers. You don’t even need to see the path clearly. You do need to know what mountain you’re climbing, the direction you’re heading and the first step. You’re absolutely allowed to pause, take a break, or turn around at any point. It’s okay to change your mind, and try again at a different point.
What is DARVO?
DARVO is an acronym that stands for DENY, ATTACK and REVERSE VICTIM and OFFENDER. DARVO is a 3-step manipulation technique that describes how individuals avoid accountability for their actions, when confronted with their inappropriate actions. DARVO has both gaslighting and blame-shifting. The perpetrator will deny the facts, attack the accuser, and then flip the situation to make themselves look like the victim, and paint the victim as the instigator.
Follow Your Soul!
Connecting and listening to your soul takes you inward, out of the noise and chaos, back home to the core of who you really are, not who the world has told you to be.
We, as a society, have been disconnected for a long time; burying trauma and truth, to keep the peace and maintain the status quo, but our souls aren’t at peace.
Our souls know the truth.
What is Somatic Experiencing®?
Unlike other trauma healing modalities, Somatic Experiencing® focuses on the sensations you are experiencing, not the story or event you may replay or retell over and over again in traditional talk therapy.
Somatic Experiencing® takes you out of your head and into your body, reconnecting you to your body’s innate wisdom. SE helps you heal your nervous system, change deeply ingrained survival patterns that are keeping you stuck and resolve symptoms of stress, shock and trauma that are trapped in your body and nervous system.
What is Good Mental Health?
What is good mental health?
In short, good mental health is the ability to thrive regardless of circumstance. Good mental health is the foundation for thinking and communication skills, learning, emotional growth, resilience and self-esteem.
Good mental health allows you to thrive versus simply survive.
It isn’t about avoiding problems or having the ‘perfect’ life. Good mental health allows you to get back up and persevere through normal life difficulties and challenges. Some refer to it as mental strength or mental toughness, but it’s simply good mental health. Good mental health is the key to our overall well-being.
It Starts With You!
It starts with you.
Change starts with you.
Healing starts with you.
The power is in your hands.
We live in a world screaming for change and in urgent need of healing. The change and healing you seek, and that the world so desperately needs, starts with you.
Many are not conscious of the soup of toxicity, repression and trauma they are living in, and continuously perpetuating.
