Heal with E

There are many reasons people fall into alcoholism or addiction—genetics, trauma, neglect, a difficult upbringing, or even ADHD and the chase for dopamine.

Regardless of how a person gets to addiction, I’ve recognised two themes that show up (in my personal journey but also those around me, and my clients) that make long term sobriety much more difficult.
They are; feelings of shame, and a desire to avoid.
The shame can be about what was done to us, or about our own behaviours, and the avoidance is a desire to not want to think about the shame (plus other emotions).

Addressing shame and avoidance is an important part of recovery and I believe the earlier the better. As a spiritual counselor and holistic healer, I can help you face this with compassion and without judgment in a confidential, safe environment.

If this is you, or someone you love, please reach out.

PS: I’m also starting a values based support group (hopefully November) for people in recovery. If this sounds like something you may be interested in, feel free to message me privately to chat.

Always in hope

The society I live in moves so fast & values productivity, so the act of healing can feel like a rebellion.
And in a lot of ways it is because healing can mean learning, re-learning, or in other cases an un-learning, which all require moments of slowness and stillness into integrate.

So when you are actively choosing to heal, allow yourself time for stillness, or to move gently through your day.

And just to remind you, you are love.

If you grapple with looking at old photos of yourself, or your children, or pets or loved ones, or a trip you took when you were young, then you may be stuck in grief.

Grief is the natural flow on of loss, but too often we suppress it as we believe grief is only for the big losses.

But loss is occurring throughout your whole life.

Types of losses (feel free to add more in the comments)
* Relationships – Breakups, divorce, estrangement, friendships ending.
* Health – Illness, disability, chronic pain, fertility, aging, physical or cognitive changes.
* Identity – Losing confidence, purpose, independence, faith, or sense of self.
* Dreams & Expectations – Unfulfilled hopes, missed opportunities, changing life plans.
* Family – Empty nest, miscarriage, infertility, changing family roles, parents aging, parents becoming unwell when we are children.
* Career & Finances – Job loss, retirement, business failure, financial hardship.
* Home & Belonging – Moving out of home, losing a home, relocation due to work or family, community or cultural disconnection.
* Safety & Security – Trauma, abuse, disasters, loss of trust, financial insecurity.
* Time & Life Stages – Lost youth, aging, milestones, life transitions, regret.
* Meaning & Spirituality – Loss of purpose, beliefs, certainty, or direction.
* Sentimental & Everyday Losses – Treasured possessions, traditions, routines, favourite places, changing seasons of life.

Loss is a wide spectrum and you should allow the feeling of grief to take place.

If you’re struggling, please reach out, I’d love to support you.

I once heard Crazy Horse describe relationships as “one person builds the teepee, the other builds the fire” and it was so beautiful that it’s stayed with me.

Relationships are full of give and take, however if you’re only focussed on what your partner is not doing (or doing ‘wrong’) then relationship counselling and some individual counselling could really help you with that

I read the other week that women in their 40s who improve their diet and work out are more likely to stick to it because they are chasing strength and longevity over an aesthetic.

Ive been in and out of gyms my whole adult life, always quitting once I’d achieved the desired results (which was always weight loss), but now I know how hard it is to lose weight in perimenopause (and beyond), I’ve done away with focussing on looking a certain way, and get so much pleasure in discovering what my body is capable of.

And yes, the focus of this strip back was fat loss, but it was more of a challenge to myself that it is actually possible, for me AND you.

I have asked for a life that challenges and grows me, physically, mentally, spiritually. And it’s through challenging my own limits and beliefs that allows me to better support all of my clients on their life’s journey.

Love and hugs,
