“This is probably going to sound really weird…”

Famous last words in my treatment room 😂

There is very little, if anything, you could tell me that would make me think you’re weird.

Random memories. Strange dreams. Weird body sensations. Things you can’t explain. Supernatural things. The thing you’ve never said out loud because it sounds completely ridiculous in your head.

Bring it! I’ve probably heard weirder before lunch 😆

Some of us are VERY good at thinking about our feelings but not so great at actually feeling them.

Thinking about them can look like...
- Over-analysing them
- Over-explaining them
- Replaying the conversation 47 times
- Trying to understand exactly why we're feeling the way we do

But understanding an emotion and actually feeling it are two very different things.

Sometimes underneath all that thinking is simply an unmet need:

That hurt.
I’m really angry.
I’m disappointed.
I’m scared.

Not every feeling needs to be figured out. Sometimes those big feelings just need somewhere safe to be felt.

Thats what we do in clinic here at Whitespace Wellbeing.
Link in bio if you need some help to feel your feelings rather than just think about them.

We put a lot of emphasis on feeling safe in our relationships, our homes and the world around us.

But what about the relationship we have with ourselves?

A question I ask every new client that walks into my clinic is "Is your body a safe place to live?". I very rarely get a yes.

If your inner voice is constantly criticising you, your needs are always being pushed aside, rest has to be earned, emotions are judged and mistakes are met with shame... your body is listening to all of it.

Becoming a safe place for yourself doesn't mean never feeling anxious, overwhelmed or stuffing things up. It means learning to how to stay on your own side when you do.

Listening when your body says enough.
Allowing yourself to have needs.
Speaking to yourself with kindness.
Honouring your boundaries.
Letting yourself rest without earning it first.

Maybe safety isn't only about who we surround ourselves with. Maybe it's also about becoming someone our own nervous system can trust.

Emotional safety doesn’t mean our kids are happy, calm or regulated all the time. What it means is they know they can bring all the messy stuff to us…

The anger. The mistakes. The tears. The overwhelm. The big reactions. The moments when they’re really not at their best.

And underneath it all, they still know without a shadow of a doubt:-

I am loved
I am safe to be myself
My big feelings are allowed
I can get things wrong
I can say no
And when things go sideways, we can always find our way back to each other

We need to be realistic, we won’t get this right every time. But our kids don’t need perfect parents. They need connection, curiosity, boundaries and repair, again and again and again.

And most of all, a safe space where they never have to become a smaller, quieter or easier version of themselves just to belong and feel loved.

A session with me can be a bit of a mixed bag…

You might leave feeling lighter
You might leave feeling really tired
You might have a very unexpected “ohhhhhhh, woooooow that makes a lot of sense” lightbulb moment 💡(these are my favs)
You might suddenly realise that the pain in your left shoulder has been an important part of your convoluted storyline all along!

No two sessions are ever exactly the same, because no two nervous systems are ever exactly the same.

This work is often really deep, but that doesn’t mean it has to be super heavy.

Sometimes it’s insightful
Sometimes it’s emotional
Sometimes it’s weirdly specific
Sometimes it’s just nice to lie down for 90 minutes while someone else helps you make sense of the all the noise in your head

So come for the lie down and stay for the unexpected big life revelations!

There’s a brand new Steph & the Storytime Crew story out this week and this one is for the big-energy kids, the fast-moving brains and the little humans who can be incredibly hard on themselves when something goes wrong.

In Sonny & Van and the Echo Cave Catastrophe, Sonny and Van sneak into Echo Cave and quickly discover that the cave repeats everything it hears.

Including the unkind things they say to themselves.

“I always mess things up.”
“Everyone is mad at me.”
“I’m too much.”

And slowly, they begin to learn something really important. A mistake is something you make, it's not who you are.

This episode gently explores impulsivity, negative self-talk, learning to pause, repairing mistakes and choosing kinder, truer words when our brains get loud and unkind. It’s funny, a little chaotic, very Sonny and Van… and there might be one respectfully approved bum joke.

What tends to come after setting a boundary for us empaths...

The guilt.
The overthinking.
The urge to over-explain yourself.
The worry that someone is upset with you.
The feeling that you’ve somehow done something wrong.

Setting boundaries can feel especially hard for empaths because we tend to be highly sensitive to someone else’s disappointment, discomfort or change in energy. Sometimes we feel their response so strongly that, without even realising it, we choose their comfort over our own discomfort and avoid setting the boundary altogether.

If your nervous system has learned that keeping the peace, avoiding conflict or keeping other people happy feels safer, then setting a boundary can feel really bloody uncomfortable. Even when you know logically that you’re allowed to have one. So if boundaries feel hard, it may not mean you’re bad at them. It probably means that your body is still learning that it’s safe to disappoint someone, choose yourself and have needs without writing a five-page essay to explain in detail, why.

That’s often where the deeper work begins.

Guys this is a real pinch me moment🥹

Another Storytime Crew listener dressed up as one of the characters for Book Week, and this time it’s Oscar the Owl 🦉

I am completely and utterly blown away. These silly little stories started with me sitting behind a microphone, making up voices and hoping a few kids might enjoy listening. (We’re now sitting at about 32,000 listens 🤯)
I never could have imagined that one day, kids would be walking into their schools dressed as the characters I dreamed up. There is something so incredibly special about seeing these stories leave my little world and become part of theirs.

To every mini-human who listens, laughs, requests characters, passes on storyline’s, tells their friends and now apparently DRESSES UP AS THEM… thank you!

Oscar, you absolutely nailed it! Thank you so much for bringing him to life🦉🤎

My heart is so very, very full tonight 🥰🥰

The new Whitespace Wellbeing website is officially live!

I’ve been working away behind the scenes to create a space that feels clearer, easier to navigate and more aligned with everything Whitespace is becoming.

You’ll now find updated pages for sessions, podcasts, booking information and more about the heart behind this work.

And coming soon, the shop will open with original artwork, prints, kids’ emotional wellbeing resources, digital downloads, Storytime Crew bits and soulful little things for tender nervous systems.

This website feels like the next chapter for Whitespace Wellbeing and I’m so excited to finally share it with you!

Come have a little look around - www.whitespacewellbeing.com.au

If resting makes you anxious, chances are there's more going on than just being “bad at relaxing”.

Hello, nervous system dysregulation 👋👋

For some people, slowing down can feel strangely uncomfortable because their nervous system has become so used to doing, fixing, thinking, planning and staying one step ahead. This is what we call nervous system hypervigilance.

So even when the body is tired, the mind keeps going and going and going.

This is something I see so often in clinic.

Rest isn't always about finding more time. Sometimes it's about helping your body feel safe enough to stop.

Does rest actually feel restful for you?
