You are already whole

You are already whole, worthy, ‘enough’, you are not broken.

I know it doesn’t seem like this when we are consumed by our negative beliefs and false narratives. When our coping mechanisms drive us to withdraw, rejecting before we get rejected.

When we become easily overstimulated, overwhelmed, irritable and exhausted with day-to-day happenings. When we don’t match up to the perfectionists in our heads and constantly compare and judge self and others.

When our lack of self-worth shades the potential that every one of us has, but we can’t see it’s light anymore.

When we are chained by generational trauma carrying other people’s programs and pressures without even realizing. Too busy conforming, we stop questioning.  Different masks for every occasion – drifting further and further away from who we were meant to be.

Trauma is not only what happened to us, but also what did not happen, and most importantly, what happened inside us as a result.

When due to past trauma and adverse life events we disconnect from our bodies, intuition and true selves, our nervous system often gets stuck in a survival mode.

We become shadows of our authentic selves, people pleasers, rescuers, often sacrificing our lives for others.

We forget about our needs and boundaries and our physical and mental health suffers as a result. We keep pushing, ignoring gentle signals until our body stops us. It’s crucial we start taking care of ourselves.

“Maybe the journey isn’t so much about becoming anything. Maybe it’s about un-becoming everything that isn’t really you, so you can be who you were meant to be in the first place.”

― Paulo Coelho

We need to find ourselves again. Unbecome everything that is not really us, reconnect with the wisdom of our bodies, intuition, all hurting parts, passion, higher power, nature, community. Reconnect to our wholeness.

My wish is to raise awareness of the impact of past trauma on our present and support others in their healing journey.  I wish to share the tools that helped me to feel empowered and resilient.  

I believe that fostering a loving relationship with yourself, embracing all hurting parts, processing repressed emotions, discovering your true heart desires, all while regulating your nervous system and connecting with the healing power of nature is a perfect recipe for a more fulfilled, authentic and more joyful life.
