Metanoia Mental Health

09/16/2025

Ever had a reaction that felt way bigger than the situation called for?
That’s not you being dramatic — that’s your nervous system remembering something you might not even be conscious of.

“If it’s hysterical, it’s historical” is a trauma-informed reminder that intense emotional reactions often have roots in the past, not just the present moment.

It’s not about overreacting — it’s about unfinished business from your story still asking to be seen.

The good news?
You’re not broken.
You’re responding the way you were wired to survive.
And healing is how we start writing a new ending.

Sometimes it’s not love we’re feeling — it’s the relief of being chosen.
Or the comfort of not being alone.
Or the distraction from our own wounds.

When fear is in the driver’s seat — fear of abandonment, fear of starting over, fear of being “too much” or “not enough” — we can minimize red flags, deflect hard truths, avoid honest conversations, and even get defensive when someone gently points out the unhealthy stuff.

But that part of you that does all of this?
It’s not weak. It’s protective.
It learned somewhere that settling was safer than solitude. That chaos was normal. That love should feel like a rollercoaster.

And unlearning that?
That’s the real work.

🖤 You’re not broken. You’re becoming aware.
🖤 You don’t have to confuse survival strategies for soulmates.

What is shadow work?

This is connecting to vulnerable parts of self that we are often disconnected from. These parts hold past experiences of wounding, pain, sadness, longing, fear, grief and much more.

We often want to skip right to the enlightenment phase because this feels in some ways better, and often safer.

It may be a protective part of self that wants to move straight into your “love and light” era. This protective part is not wrong or bad, just trying to protect you (as it likely has always done) from you feeling shadow parts of self.

If you want to get curious of your shadow parts, leaning into the vulnerability of this work so you can more authentically feel into your “love and light” era, therapy can support you with this.

Reach out, we are here for you in your curiosity of your inner world!

You can love someone deeply and still not be in the right relationship.
Especially if childhood trauma or codependency taught you to take the blame, keep the peace, and abandon yourself to stay connected.

If you’ve ever felt unsure about whether to stay or go, ask yourself these 5 questions.

And remember:
The right relationship won’t require you to lose yourself to keep it.

We often think vulnerability means opening up about our pain—but sometimes, it’s about saying the thing that might rock the boat. Assertiveness isn’t aggression. It’s choosing honesty over harmony, even when it’s uncomfortable.

That kind of truth-telling?
It takes trust, depth, and courage.
Which is much harder, but far more authentic, than placating or doing what feels easier just to keep the peace

Feminism isn’t about granting strength to women—it acknowledges the resilience that already exists. Instead, it challenges societal perceptions, urging a shift in how female strength is recognized, valued, and integrated into our cultural narrative.

A lot of folks ask “what does Metanoia means” ….

Metanoia is a noun that refers to transformative change of one’s life, heart, perspective and way of life. Metanoia means a process of fundamental change in the human personality. The word was developed to indicate an attempt of the psyche to heal itself from unbearable inner conflict, by melting down, and being reborn again in a more adaptive form.

Metanoia is often associated with psychological growth, leading to a profound shift in someone’s beliefs, attitudes or values and therefore behaviour.

I felt this was a beautiful word encompassing what I believe we are actively becoming curious about and encouraging in therapy ✨🫶🏻
