YES!!! Of course you do…We all do!!
We are wired to LOVE, it is our birthright. We are wired to Love Deeply, to both give and receive and to be seen and known in all our glorious beauty AND with all of our complexity, sensitivity and woundedness. Life without this kind of love is just well…ho hum. We can become stuck, sad, depressed, anxious, exhausted. Life can be a struggle and we may feel lonely and isolated. Like no one cares. Emotions are harder to regulate as an emotional roller coaster takes control of our lives. Events can lack meaning and purpose, and the future can feel scary. Never has there been a time in history where it’s been so easy to connect with others. You’d think our relationships would be thriving. However, research shows loneliness is becoming an epidemic, suicide is on the rise, divorce rates are sky rocketing and many parents are struggling as their roles continue to evolve and change as families take on new structures. It appears that instead of thriving, many of us are just surviving in the world of relationship and love. |
Secure Base, Safe Haven...In our attempts to give and receive love,
things can go wrong, very wrong, and we miss that which we most need… To slow down, listen to ourselves and connect within. To feel safe, heard, validated, respected, prioritised and LOVED by others. If only it was about having multiple ways to connect… The truth is that when we learn to drop into our body and to really listen with curiosity and compassion, what's often underneath all the pain and confusion is our innate wisdom which is dying to express what we really feel and need in our lives and our love relationships. When this can be felt and expressed we can let go of old patterns and begin to let our light shine. We can create a container for greater security, resilience and interdependence, along with deeper trust, playfulness and support. We can create a safe haven to lean into and a secure base from which to explore the world independently. We can invite a more intimate way of connecting with ourselves and with those we love. It’s actually doable when you have the map, and you don’t have to do it alone… I C A N H O L D Y O U R H A N D. I C A N S H O W Y O U H O W. |
The Road Less Travelled... The information imparted and the tools and practices
experienced in my psychotherapy practice & programs are holistic and life changing. I will empower you to make any necessary behavioural changes, from the inside out. We will explore any adaptations you've developed that constrict what's possible in experiencing love. This journey will help you uncover your attachment style, where it came from and how it plays out in your everyday relationships. You will learn both the advantages and disadvantages of your attachment style, and even that of your loved one. You’ll learn to identify the attachment style of others and what to look for and what to walk away from when dating so as to serve what you uniquely need to experience love. We will explore letting go of resentment and learn the importance of repair. Everyone lives with an internal heart wound. We will uncover this wound gently and compassionately and discover the gifts it has to offer. I will teach you how to come back to an internal sense of emotional security. Security is wired into us and even if we’ve never experienced it in relationship before, we can certainly find and fertilize it now. |
It's Time...It's time to make room for the quality of love you seek,
the quality of love you deserve. It’s time to let go of protesting what you don’t want, staying when it’s time to go and putting other’s needs ahead of your own. It’s time to let go of fearful avoiding, dismissing and blocking difficult emotional conversations. It’s time to let go of blaming and learn to lean into compassionate self-inquiry. It’s time to let go of guilt and shame and embrace self-compassion. It’s time to set boundaries as an act of self-care. It’s time to become curious about your patterns of relating and be kind to yourself and others about theirs. It’s time to look through a different lens to see the love that is actually already there. It’s time to open your heart to a new way to love yourself and others. Sound scary? Hopeful? Curious to know more? L e t ' s T a k e A B r e a t h . . . a h h h h h h h. We will begin exactly where you are, with whatever’s showing up for you in your life right now and we will walk this path gently…together. This journey is one of courage, one that requires a whole hearted YES, a deep commitment and a willingness to work from the inside out… and with me as your openhearted, compassionate Guide to Thrive, it’s entirely possible… I believe and trust this. Whether you are a mother, a sister, a lover or a friend… learning to love intimately makes life a hell of a lot more worth living. I W I L L H O L D Y O U R H A N D. I W I L L S H O W Y O U H O W. |
