Idi Pimenta Heart Centred Relationship Coach

Idi Pimenta Heart Centred Relationship Coach 'The quality of our relationship to ourselves and others shapes the quality of our lives'. Carl Jung suggested that individuation is a self-realisation process.

Hi, I'm Idi Pimenta, transforming the way we live and love is my passion and my specialty Contact me for heart-centred support, grounded in relational neuroscience Autonomy and Intimacy 💞

The most common problem I see in my practice, are clients who didn't or couldn't individuate from their family of origin. Relational trauma being the most common interruptive element of this important developmental task. The process of self-realisation is the key to our emotional maturity and renders us able to balance our desire to please another with our drive to do what feels right for ourselves. Hi my name is Idi Pimenta and I am a Somatic Experiencing Practitioner, Psycho-biological Approach to Couples Therapy Practitioner, Relational Life Therapist and an Integral Somatic Psychology Practitioner, with a Master of Counselling and a Social Work degree background. Developmental trauma often plays out in our adult relationships because its relational. Early relational experiences are encoded in neural circuity in the first 18 months of life can be reinforced thereafter. Stored as implicit (unconscious) memory, they are inaccessible by ordinary awareness, forming templates through which we engage in the world. In a moment of activation, the templates automatically come surging online and floods our perception. These patterns persist through life as the force that shapes our adult love relationships. Until a person has individuated, it is nearly impossible for them to have a satisfying romantic relationship. To fulfill our greatest potential requires us to differentiate so that we can experience autonomy from others and intimacy with others. One key step to accomplish this is that we must individuate. Poor individuation, through no fault of our own, can lead to a number of problems and indicators of trauma. Some of these include:

• Difficulty with emotional regulation
• Anxiety and Depression
• Difficulty with boundaries
• One sided relationships
• Self doubt
• Low satisfaction with one's life
• Low self empathy and self consideration
• Self-consciousness, low self-worth, and low self-esteem
• Vulnerability to unconscious trauma bond dynamics or unsafe relationships
• Self abandonment
• Poor decision making
• Difficulty with self-awareness, self-reflection and self-direction
• Problems with motivation and goal-setting

These symptoms are biologically based and somatically experienced. They're coloured by unconscious conditioning, and we might continue to repeat behaviours that helped us survive our childhoods, but that sadly abandon us in adulthood, and sabotage our adult relationships. The quality of our relationship to ourselves and others determines the quality of our lives. Relationships are everything. Transforming the way we live and love is my passion and my specialty.

You are a beautiful and unique person with strengths that deserve to be recognized and seen. 🧡

10 Ways being an overthinker is your superpower:

✔️ You’re deeply attuned and empathic to what others are feeling.

✔️ You notice subtle shifts, patterns, and unspoken cues that others miss.

✔️ You think things through carefully and consider the impact of your choices.

✔️ You take responsibility seriously and tend to follow through.

✔️ You anticipate problems before they happen and plan accordingly.

✔️ You care deeply about doing the right thing, not just the easy thing.

✔️ You love with intention, loyalty, and depth.

✔️ You have a rich inner world and strong creative capacity.

✔️ You’re able to hold nuance, complexity, and multiple perspectives at once.

✔️ You’re highly self-reflective and motivated to grow.

Yes, it’s no secret that overthinking can derail us or create more anxiety. But I don’t think we pay enough attention to the beautiful parts of us that feel and love so deeply because of our sensitivity.

You are a beautiful and unique person with strengths that deserve to be recognized and seen. ❤️

I’ve been thinking about what happened at Bondi, and how events like this don’t just live in the news cycle. They live in bodies.

You might notice a tightening, a heaviness, a sense of watchfulness, or a sudden wave of feeling that doesn’t seem to belong just to now. You might feel fine and then not fine later. All of that makes sense.

For some people this lands close, because of identity, history, or lived experience. For others it shows up indirectly, through clients, children, or the work we do caring for others. There is no neat way the nervous system processes harm.

If you’re someone who usually holds spacefor othets, this is a gentle permission slip to be held too. To slow down where you can. To reach for another human. To remember you’re not meant to metabolise this alone.

I’m holding in mind those who were directly impacted, the communities carrying the weight of this, and the first responders and health workers tending to the immediate aftermath.

If you need support, it’s okay to reach out: Lifeline 13 11 14
Beyond Blue 1300 22 4636
JewishCare NSW 1300 133 660
Emergency: 000

Be kind with your heart & your nervous system. It’s doing its best with something it should never have to experience..

UNPOPULAR OPINION: Sometimes the healed version of you is meaner — but not because you became cruel. It’s because healing changes your tolerances, your capacity for chaos, and your willingness to abandon yourself for the comfort of others.

The old you apologized just to keep the peace.
The healed you lets the silence sit and forces accountability.

The old you overexplained yourself, trying to be understood.
The healed you realizes someone committed to misunderstanding you never lacked clarity — they lacked honesty.

The old you accepted the bare minimum with gratitude.
The healed you sees bare minimum as an insult, not an effort.

Healing often looks like distance, fewer replies, shorter sentences, cancelled plans, or a version of you that no longer entertains conversations that drain your spirit. People who benefited from your silence, your softness, your lack of boundaries will call it “mean.” They will insist you’ve changed — and they’re right.

You did change.

You outgrew the version of yourself that tolerated what hurt you.

Sometimes healing makes you quieter, firmer, and uninterested in proving your worth. Sometimes healing looks like walking away without explanation — not to be rude, but because you finally understand that peace is not a discussion; it is a decision.

One thing we don’t talk about enough is how our body and spirit often speak long before our mind catches up. Sometimes it comes as a heaviness, an uneasiness, or a simple feeling that something is off. And listen — you don’t need a grand reason to honor that feeling. You don’t need permission. The discomfort is the reason.

When your peace starts to shrink, when your laughter feels forced, when your presence feels like a burden instead of a gift — that’s your inner compass whispering, “Step back. Protect your space. Choose you.”

You are allowed to take distance without writing long explanations. You are allowed to say no without guilt. You are allowed to preserve your energy even if others don’t understand. Your well-being is not up for negotiation.

Trust that inner nudge. It’s guiding you away from what drains and toward what nourishes, uplifts, and aligns with who you’re becoming. When you honor yourself, you create room for peace, joy, and relationships that meet you with kindness and respect.

Remember: You don’t need anyone’s approval to safeguard your peace. Your emotional safety matters.💛
