I have been on a bit of a journey the last few years and wanted to fill you in with where I’ve been and what I’ve been doing.
A few years ago I could tell something was not right with me.
I found that I needed some time away from social media. It was starting to feel too overwhelming with all the differing perspectives, keyboard warriors and just too much information.
By giving myself space I realised that my body was craving attention and needed to be heard. I got to see just how stressful the previous few years had been for me and I was barely holding on.
From all the stress and trauma over the years, as well as everything stored from childhood I went into some deep inner healing. I ended up in a state of what is called ‘functional freeze’. (some also call it Dark Night of the Soul)
A lot of childhood wounding came to the surface to be healed.
I felt anxious, exhausted, and my confidence, self esteem/self value took a nosedive, I had social anxiety and didn’t do well with people especially in groups.
I needed so much sleep; around 10/11 hours a night. If you go and have a look at the @the.holistic.psychologist posts she calls this the ‘cocoon phase’.
On top of that my hormones went all wonky from some intensely stressful situations, I rolled my ankle, got the flu, and once I was just recovering I got pink eye. When the pink eye had cleared up I got the flu again.
Clearly life still wanted me to slow down. (now I teach people to listen to their bodies and take action as required)
I am happy to say that I am on the other side of that wild time, much wiser and more experienced. (knowing that life will still bring me challenges to help me grow)
I worked with a wonderful coach/healer and uncovered and moved through layers of stored trauma, complex PTSD, anxiety, and general life stuff.
🌙I now better understand women’s hormones and what stress can do to them.
🌙I know what a dark night of the soul feels like…not fun.
🌙I know that everyone has some sort of trauma, that it gets stored in the body and needs to be transformed and released.
🌙There are many layers to healing and we may continue to go through many different levels in our lifetime.
🌙When you give your body some space it will start to heal, we just need to trust its wisdom.
Knowing all of this I am now coaching with a whole different level of understanding.
I know what it is like to be so unsure and of what is going on with your life and your body.
