As a trauma-informed therapist, I believe that some of our lived experiences may leave a long-lasting impact on our brain functioning and the way we see the world. Everything may seem blurry and scary at times, and we may have a tendency to want to control the process of healing by minimizing the pain and controlling our emotions. However, we do this only to find out it is making us feel even more stuck and in pain. I believe that healing is possible if we take time and allow it to be fully processed, acknowledged, felt, and moved through by being more present with ourselves.

The modern society we live in can sometimes disturb our inner peace, separate us from who we really are, and make us feel disconnected from others. This disconnection can often be rooted in our unresolved past experiences, unhealthy coping mechanisms, negative thought processes and some of our deeply seated core beliefs. We can feel tired, demotivated, out of harmony, angry, or discouraged. Looking within, at who we are, is usually the first step to free us from such disconnection
