Healing After Workplace Bullying

She came to therapy shattered by what had happened at work, the daily put-downs, the subtle exclusion, the whispers in meetings. Over time, the bullying eroded her confidence and sense of safety.

When she started EMDR therapy, she described feeling “frozen” every time she thought about returning to work. Her body would tense, her chest would tighten, and she’d replay the moments of humiliation as if they were happening all over again.

Through EMDR, she began to process these memories in a way that felt safe and contained. The flashbacks softened. Her body learned that those experiences were over. The emotional charge lessened, and the power those memories held over her began to fade.

Today, she describes herself as “stronger and freer.” She’s set new boundaries, found a workplace that values her, and most importantly, she believes in herself again.

Healing isn’t about forgetting what happened. It’s about remembering it differently, without the fear, shame, and self-doubt attached. That’s the gift EMDR can bring.

She Left Quietly That Night

She didn’t leave because she stopped loving him.
She left because she finally loved herself enough to go.

The bruises weren’t always on her skin, some were on her spirit, hidden beneath years of silence and blame. She had forgotten how to laugh without reading the room first.

That night, she packed her bag quietly, heart pounding with both fear and freedom. She wasn’t sure what tomorrow would bring, but she knew she couldn’t survive one more yesterday.

Healing didn’t come all at once. It came in small, trembling steps, a kind word from a stranger, a safe place to sleep, a therapist who listened without judgement. Slowly, she began to remember who she was before she was told she was “too much” or “not enough.”

Leaving was not the end, it was the start of her recovery journey.

If you or someone you know is living in fear, you are not alone.

On Being Shamed for Your Body

A clients deidentified story

There was once a young person who dreaded going to school, not because of the lessons, but because of the laughter that followed them down every hallway. They were bullied and shamed for being overweight. Every comment, every whisper, every cruel joke left an invisible scar.

Over time, they began to believe the words of others more than the quiet truth within themselves. They tried to shrink their body, their voice, and eventually, their spirit. What no one saw was that food had once been a source of comfort, something that filled the silence of loneliness and the ache of rejection.

Years later, in therapy, they began to reclaim the parts of themselves( child and teenage parts) that had been buried under shame. They learned that their worth was never tied to a number on a scale or the approval of others. Healing meant standing in front of a mirror and seeing not flaws, but survival and hope for the future.

When we begin to see our bodies as protectors rather than enemies, we open the door to compassion. The body remembers pain, but it also remembers kindness.

May today be a reminder: you are not what others said about you. You are the strength it took to endure, the courage it takes to heal, and the softness that remains despite what happened.

TODAYS REFLECTION IS living a Pretentious Life

Have you ever caught yourself performing?
Not on a stage, but in life. Smiling when your heart aches, agreeing when you want to scream, or dressing your pain in polished words so others won’t feel uncomfortable?

Many of us were taught to hide behind masks, the strong one, the successful one, the happy one. We post the filtered version of our lives, nod politely when people say, “You’re doing great,” and quietly collapse when the door closes behind us.

Living a pretentious life can be exhausting. It’s like wearing armour that’s too heavy, it may protect us, but it also keeps love and authenticity out. Pretence often grows from fear: fear of rejection, of being seen as “too much,” “too sensitive,” or “too broken.”
But the truth is, real connection doesn’t happen through perfection. It happens in honesty.

When we start to live without pretense, something remarkable happens.
We exhale.
We stop performing.
We start healing.

Authenticity might scare some people, but it attracts the ones who see your soul, not your mask

From Fear to Freedom: A Story of Healing

Years ago, a young Indian woman sat in my office, terrified.
She had fled from a family where control and violence were disguised as “tradition.”
She carried the weight of shame, silence, and a belief that she was unworthy of love.

Over time, through parts therapy and EMDR, she began to meet the younger versions of herself , the frightened girl who once believed she had no voice, and the strong woman quietly waiting beneath the pain.
Each session, she learned to listen, comfort, and integrate those parts , and to reclaim her right to live freely.

Then she met someone gentle.
A man who didn’t try to rescue her, but stood beside her.
He encouraged her to trust her own strength and helped her find the courage to leave the shadows of her past behind.

Today, they are engaged , planning a future built on safety, respect, and genuine love.
Healing doesn’t erase the past; it allows new beginnings to grow from it.

If you are living in fear or healing from trauma , know this:
You can rebuild. You can love again. You can be free.

Today's Reflection: Boundaries

Boundaries are not walls ,they are doors with handles on the inside.
They allow love to enter and protect your peace from what harms.

Setting a boundary doesn’t make you unkind; it makes you clear.
It’s saying, “I honour myself enough to choose what I allow into my energy.”
Sometimes that means stepping back, saying no, or choosing silence over explanation.

Healthy boundaries teach others how to meet us, and teach us how to honour our own worth.
Remember, you don’t have to justify your limits to anyone who truly values you.

Today’s Reflection: The Art of Connection

Every fortnight, a few of us gather with brushes, colours, and open hearts.
There’s laughter, quiet moments, and that gentle hum of creativity that fills the room.

It isn’t just about painting or drawing , it’s about being present.
Each stroke, each shared smile, becomes a small act of mindfulness.

In those few hours, worries soften.
We connect, to ourselves, to each other, and to the calm that art always seems to bring.

Sometimes, healing doesn’t need words.
Just colour, kindness, and a little bit of courage to show up.

Today’s Reflection:
The Wound of Betrayal

They never saw it coming. The message, the silence, the moment everything they believed in began to unravel. One day they were trusting, certain, and the next, they were questioning everything: Was it all a lie? Was I never enough?

That’s what betrayal does. It sneaks in quietly and then detonates the very ground beneath you. It’s not just about what someone did, it’s about what they took with them when they left: your sense of safety, your belief in goodness, your confidence in your own judgment.

In the weeks that followed, they found themselves numb one moment and raging the next. They couldn’t eat. Couldn’t sleep. Every song, every place, every smell seemed to carry the ghost of a memory that now felt poisoned.

But healing began the day they stopped trying to understand why they did it and started asking what they needed. They realised that the betrayal was a mirror and not of their worth, but of their wounds. And as they began to care for their own pain with tenderness, something inside them shifted.

They didn’t need revenge. They needed peace.
And slowly, they began to build that, one boundary, one breath, one brave morning at a time.
