So… I’m doing Run for Autism again this year. 🏃‍♀️

Except this year I’ve apparently decided that 200km in one month sounds like a perfectly reasonable thing to do.

Although, in fairness, this is largely thanks to my friend Aimee signing up to do 200km…

And because apparently I have issues, I obviously had to match her. 😂

I’ll be walking.
I’ll be running.
I’ll probably question my life choices somewhere along the way.... Maybe...

And I’ll be doing it to raise funds and awareness for autism.

But honestly, I’m not here to give you a big emotional speech about why you should donate.

If you want to support me, amazing. ❤️
If you want to donate, there’ll be a link below.
If you want to share it, also amazing.
And if all you do is follow along while I slowly rack up 200km… that counts too.

Because for me, awareness matters. Support matters. Talking about autism matters.

And I love being able to do something I already enjoy while putting a little more attention on supporting some of the most incredible, interesting and wonderfully different minds out there.

So… 200km it is.

Thanks, Aimee. This is obviously your fault. 😂

The donation link is below, and I’ll also have it on my Instagram pages throughout the month. ❤️

Hate to break it to you…

but your therapist, counsellor, psychologist, coach, whoever you're sitting across from…

doesn't have it all figured out.

And yes, I'm very much talking about myself here. 😂

I know a lot about emotions. I know about nervous systems, trauma, avoidance, boundaries, relationships, patterns and all the wonderfully complicated s**t that comes with being a person.

I know the tools.

I know the theory.

I know what we're supposed to do.

And some days?

I don't use them perfectly.

Some days I don't use them at all, to be honest. 😂

I still f**k up.
I make mistakes.
I have regrets.
I overthink.
I get triggered.
I avoid s**t.
I have my own pain that I have to work through.

Because apparently the psychology degree didn't come with a “can't f**k up” badge.

Would have been a nice little bonus.

And honestly, I don't think having your s**t together all the time is what makes someone a good therapist anyway.

I'd argue that sometimes the opposite is true.

Because when you've made mistakes, you understand what it's like to sit with the consequences of them.

When you've f**ked something up, you understand that one bad decision doesn't make someone a bad person.

When you've struggled with your own emotions, you understand that knowing better doesn't always mean doing better immediately.

And when you've had your own s**t to work through, you're a little less likely to sit across from someone and expect them to get everything right.

Mistakes are part of life.

Learning from them matters.

Taking responsibility matters.

Being willing to look at yourself matters.

And continuing to do your own work matters.

So no, I don't think a therapist needs to be some perfectly regulated, endlessly self-aware person who has somehow completed a "Having Your Life Together" certification.

Because I certainly haven't.

😂

I'm just someone who has learned a lot, continues to learn a lot, and happens to have chosen a job where helping people navigate the messy bits of life is kind of the whole point.

Sometimes we put WAY too much energy into the things we think people are lying about.

We replay the conversation.

We analyse their words.

We notice the little things that don't add up.

And suddenly we've created an entire story in our heads.

And maybe we're right.

But maybe we're not.

Especially when we're tired, anxious, angry, ashamed, exhausted, on edge or completely dysregulated.

Our brains are very good at filling in the gaps when we're already feeling unsafe.

And the story we create can feel like FACT.

But a feeling isn't always a fact.

A suspicion isn't always proof.

And our conclusion doesn't always contain the whole truth.

You might have noticed something.

You might even be right about it.

But you might also be missing a piece of the story.

And someone not telling you everything doesn't automatically make them a bad person.

Maybe it's not yours to know.

Maybe they're not ready to tell you.

Maybe they're working through something themselves.

That doesn't mean you ignore your intuition or let people treat you badly.

It just means you don't have to turn every suspicion into a conclusion.

You can notice something without immediately deciding what it means.

You can protect yourself without creating a whole story.

You can pause.

And sometimes...

"I don't know yet."

is a perfectly good answer.

Not everything needs to be solved today.

I've had people tell me they really admire me.

I've also had people decide they don't like me.

The truth?

Most of them don't actually know me.

They know the conversations we've had.
They know what I've chosen to share.
They know the version they've experienced.

That's all.

The same is true for the people we put on pedestals.

We admire someone for the life they appear to have, the confidence they seem to carry, or the success we can see.

But we rarely know the full story.

So admire people.

Respect people.

Be inspired by people.

Just don't compare your behind-the-scenes with someone else's visible moments.

None of us are as simple as the version other people hold of us.

Hi, I'm Caitlyn Collins.

I'm an Alternative Therapist and Life Coach based in Rockhampton, QLD, with a Bachelor of Psychological Science and additional training in trauma-informed therapy, somatic practices, confidence coaching, and intimacy coaching.

I believe therapy shouldn't be one-size-fits-all because people aren't one-size-fits-all.

Every session is tailored to you, your goals, and what feels right for your nervous system. Sometimes that's sitting in my therapy space. Sometimes it's walking side by side or meeting over a coffee. Together, we find what genuinely works for you.

I support adults with:
🤍 Trauma & nervous system regulation
🤍 Anxiety & depression
🤍 PTSD & Complex PTSD
🤍 Confidence & self-worth
🤍 Self-awareness & personal growth
🤍 Intimacy & self-connection
🤍 Relationship challenges & communication

Services include:
• Tailored 1-on-1 Therapy
• Relationship Therapy
• Mirror Work: Confidence & Self-Connection

If you've been looking for a different kind of therapy, one that's personalised, compassionate, and centred around you, I'd love to welcome you.
