🌿 Vicarious Trauma: The Hidden Burden of Empathy 🌿

✨💻New blog now live! 💻✨

If you're a healer, therapist, social worker, psychologist, first responder, or someone who supports others through grief, trauma, or crisis, this message is for you.

Vicarious Trauma, or Secondary Traumatic Stress, is the emotional residue we absorb through witnessing or hearing the trauma of others.

⛓It’s the heaviness that lingers after a session.
⛓The vivid imagery you didn’t ask for.
⛓The dreams.
⛓The fatigue.
⛓The ache in your nervous system, even if the story wasn’t yours.

This past week, old memories surfaced in my field.

Not my own trauma, but the stories others had shared with me years ago…

Stories I thought I’d released, but that had quietly embedded in my subconscious:

🖤 Survivors of horrific abuse
🖤People attacked in public, or near death in violent accidents
🖤Clients who’d lived through the unthinkable, and trusted me with their truth

Even now, the imagery is still vivid. And it reminded me:

This is the invisible cost of care work.
It doesn't mean we're broken.
It means we're human.

💔 Perhaps you've felt this too.
💔 Perhaps your body still holds echoes of someone else's pain.
💔 Perhaps you didn’t realise the toll it was taking until now...

Vicarious trauma is real, and you deserve care, too.
You are not weak. You are not alone.
And there is no shame in needing support.

I've written a deep dive blog on how vicarious trauma shows up in the body, how it affected me personally, and how you can begin to release what was never yours to hold.

✨ You don’t need to be in crisis to receive healing. ✨

Sometimes, we come to healing simply to open to more joy, more light, and more love.

Today, I had the immense honour of holding space for a truly magical session. The beautiful soul who came to see me had travelled across the country simply to experience ThetaHealing in person. When I asked what she wanted to work on, she smiled and said, “Nothing really, I’m just open to receiving whatever I’m meant to.” Her heart was full, her life felt good… and still, she said yes to more. 💫

What unfolded was deeply beautiful.

Together, we gently released the lingering imprints of grief, old emotional memories from medical interventions, and subtle trauma stored long after her body had healed.

And then something sacred was revealed. We were shown a healing around the loss of her divine life partner, a soulmate with whom she had shared not only love, but a shared soul mission and purpose across many lifetimes. He had passed on, and yet their bond continued filled with devotion, peace, and spiritual connection.

Unlike many karmic love stories I witness, filled with lessons, pain, and growth, this one was purely radiant. A true, divine love that transcends time and space. 💖

She left the session feeling lighter, more joyful, and deeply connected to her path forward. The grief softened. Her gifts became clearer. And she walked away with a renewed sense of certainty, purpose, and peace.

Healing can be a celebration. A sacred remembering. A return to all that you truly are.

You don’t have to wait for things to fall apart. You can say yes to healing whenever your soul is ready to rise.

Honouring the Healing Path of Motherhood: A Reflection After Mother’s Day

The last month has been deeply devoted to my own self-healing.

I’ve been gently breaking cycles of stress, powerlessness, and circumstantial victimhood. Patterns that were quietly running in the background and asking for my attention. It’s been painful and dark at times. I’ve had little energy to give to the outside world. But now, as I begin to emerge from this cocoon, I feel a renewed sense of clarity, strength, and peace.

And with that, something incredible has shifted in my work.

The sessions I’ve been holding lately have felt more powerful than ever, infused with grace, presence, and transformation. Clients are experiencing swift, deep changes, and I’m reminded once again how interconnected our own healing is with the service we offer to others.

Recently, I had the honour of holding space for a woman as she reclaimed her story of motherhood.

Together, we revisited the birth of her son and brought healing to layers of grief, guilt, and shame surrounding her journey, including her many unsuccessful pregnancies. This was a profound trauma healing. We gently released the need to carry the pain as proof of strength and instead allowed her body and soul to remember the sacredness of her journey, her sensuality, and her innate creative power.

She left feeling light, free, and full of love and optimism. It was breathtaking to witness.

Sometimes, we need a midwife of the soul to help us complete our motherhood journey, to honour all that we’ve walked through, and to finally lay down the pain we no longer need to carry.

The main purpose of sharing this is to confirm that it is possible to look back on the past with compassion, with kindness for ourselves and others. To know we did the best we could with what we knew. To honour the wisdom of the souls who chose us as their mothers, in whatever form or length of time their presence came in.

All is perfect, but we don’t have to keep suffering.

If your heart is calling for healing, around motherhood, womanhood, birth, loss, or reclaiming your sacred body and sensuality, I’m here.

With love and a photo of my cosy fireplace....

WHY DON'T PEOPLE HEAL?
Because healing is very uncomfortable!
Obstacles to healing are giving up on life in the past, no longer being a victim, and the fear of change.
Focusing our thoughts and energy on our past comes at the expense of our cells and organs, which need energy to function and heal.
Healing requires living in the present and reclaiming the energy trapped in our traumas and wounds. The only reason to nourish and keep the past alive is the bitterness of what happened.
Refusal to forgive a past event or person creates energy leaks. Forgiveness heals leaks. Forgiveness has nothing to do with not holding others accountable for the harm they caused.
When we see a painful event in our lives as a message or challenge rather than a personal betrayal, the life energy associated with that event reflects back into the energy circuits of our physical body.
People don't heal because they haven't freed themselves from the illusion of being a victim. Healing often requires changes in lifestyle, environment, and relationships. In this, change can be frightening!
It's easy to stay in a holding pattern and claim you don't know what to do, although that's rarely the case. When we're in a holding pattern and know exactly what to do, we're afraid to act accordingly.
Change is scary, and waiting conveys a sense of security, while the only way to truly gain that sense of security is to step into the whirlwind of change and feel alive again.
Healing requires action: eating right, daily exercise, thinking differently... ensuring healthy changes in the body's structure. Letting go of the past, giving up stressful jobs or inappropriate relationships are actions that release energy from the body.
What improves one, improves the other; physical strength and energy are closely linked.

The Medicine of the Mosquito: A Wake-Up Call from Within

I’ve been quiet here lately…

Recently, I’ve been brought to a time of forced rest by a mosquito-borne virus that completely knocked me off my feet. As if that weren’t enough, I also received official notice that my contract is ending in six weeks. The double hit has taken a real toll, physically, mentally, and emotionally.

A couple of nights ago, I found myself in a place I rarely go to, wondering if I’d ever feel “normal” again… if my energy would ever return (silly given there are people in my life suffering much worse conditions). That moment of despair startled me into clarity. I realised how far I’d drifted from my own power. I’m so often holding space for others to remember their healing abilities, I’d forgotten to claim mine.

I’d unknowingly handed over my power to the executives holding the axe and to the virus taking hold of my body.

That night, I dove back in. I did my own healing work. Reclaimed my energy and reconnected to my free will and personal power!

A dear friend gently reminded me that there’s medicine in everything. Even this.

And that sparked a memory, I’d once read about Mosquito as a spiritual messenger. When I looked it up again, I was stunned by the relevance. Mosquito reminds us not to let annoyances and energy drainers rule our lives. It teaches the value of discernment. Of knowing when and how to protect our space, our time, our vitality.

I saw clearly how much I’d been pushing myself to the brink, then wasting precious time in burnout recovery. How I’d let tiny “mosquitoes” in human form distract me, irritate me, and take up far too much of my energy.

This experience has been a radical and timely wake-up call.

And how perfect the timing is! In just three weeks, I'll begin a 3-week Intuitive Anatomy course. What better container for bringing buried dis-ease to the surface and alchemising it into healing, virtues, and wisdom?!

I’m walking into this next chapter feeling equal parts terrified and thrilled, but mostly, I’m ready to meet whatever rises and to reclaim even more of myself and my souls' true gifts.

If you’re navigating your own mosquito moments, may this serve as a reminder: even the tiniest messengers can carry powerful medicine.

With love and the divine spark,

Amelia
