Somatic Shamanism with Emma

Do you ever fear being found out — seen as a fraud?

Many people struggle with imposter syndrome — that voice that tells you you're not qualified enough, not experienced enough, not good enough… even when the evidence says otherwise.

What if that voice isn't the truth about you — but a part of you, trying to keep you safe?

In parts work, we'd call this a protector. It learned somewhere along the way that staying small, staying hidden, not claiming too much space… was safer than being seen and judged.

It's not trying to sabotage you. It's trying to protect you.

But when it's running the show, it can stop you from stepping into your full potential — from owning what you've built, what you know, who you are.

The work isn't about silencing or over-riding that part. That uses up too much energy and doesn't help it feel better. It's about understanding it, earning its trust, and gently showing it that you are safe to be seen.

Does this resonate? I'd love to hear in the comments.

If this resonates and you'd like to explore this kind of work, I offer one-to-one Somatic Shamanism sessions online — a body, mind, soul and spirit approach working with your inner parts. Link in bio to find out more. 🌿

Looking forward to having a stall at this event tomorrow where I will be sharing about how Somatic Shamanism helps with shifting emotional patterns that hold us back, so that we can live more authentically in Self energy.

Whether it's food, alcohol, watching shows late into the night when you know you should be sleeping — many of us have a part that, at some point, just goes all in.

For me, one place this showed up was alcohol. From the very beginning I could never have just one or two. I didn't drink throughout my pregnancy, but when my son started sleeping through the night I ‘treated’ myself to a bottle of wine — which soon escalated into a secret night-time habit that took hold. I've been sober for almost 13 years now. And yet I still recognise that same energy in my relationship with food — periods of eating well, feeling good, feeling in control, and then something tips. Suddenly I'm overeating throughout the day, eating before bed even when I'm not hungry.

Here's what's really happening. There's a part of you that works hard to keep things in line — monitoring, managing, holding it together. But when the pressure gets too much, when the feelings get too big, another part takes over. It doesn't want to be managed anymore. It wants relief. Now.

That's not weakness. That's a part that learned, at some point, that this — whatever the thing is — works. It numbs, it soothes, it gives you a moment's peace from whatever is pressing on you underneath.

The binger isn't a problem. It's a messenger.
When we can get curious about what it's carrying, what it's trying to relieve, and actually help the wounded part it's been trying to protect to heal — that's where things begin to shift.

Does this resonate? I'd love to hear your experience in the comments. 💙

I'm trained in Somatic Shamanism. By getting to know and heal the different parts that make up our psyche, we can shift emotional patterns and begin to live more authentically in Self. Alongside parts work, we explore where these parts are held in the body, and throughout the process we may invite in spirit helpers from the invisible realms — in the form of plant, stone, animal, ancestors and celestial beings. It's a truly holistic modality, promoting healing of mind, body, soul and spirit.

I'm looking forward to attending this event in Norwich on Saturday. I'll have a stall and will be sharing about how Somatic Shamanism can help with shifting emotional patterns that hold you back from living your fully authentic Self. It's a holistic modality that integrates mind, body, soul and spirit through inner parts work, body-based awareness and shamanic healing.

Do you find it hard to say no?

If so, you're not alone. So many women I meet at events light up with recognition when this comes up — a knowing smile, a rueful laugh, an "oh, that's me."

But here's what's really happening when you can't say no. There's a part of you — a people-pleasing part — that learned a long time ago that keeping others happy, staying agreeable, not making waves, was the safest way to navigate the world. So it says yes on your behalf. Again and again.

And that strategy comes at a cost. The exhaustion of always putting others first. The slow depletion of saying yes when every part of you wanted to say no. And sometimes, beneath the surface, a resentment you might not even have named yet.

This part isn't a flaw. It's not just who you are. It's a protector. But it's worth asking — what is it afraid of? What does it think will happen if you say no?

When we get curious about this part rather than judging it, when we understand what it's been carrying and why, it can begin to relax. And the wound underneath — the one it's been quietly guarding all this time — can start to heal.

Would you like to learn to help this part relax, and free that original wound from its pain, so that you can say no comfortably, without fear or worry?

💙 I'd love to hear your experience in the comments.

I only had a taster treatment and was amazed that only a few minutes in I felt very relaxed and peaceful. I was also able to tune into my body and realised I had overdone it the previous day. At the end Janice told me she had picked up something around my neck, shoulders, lower back and knees, all of my hotspot areas of pain at the moment! Janice has a lovely, warm, friendly energy. I would highly recommend and hope to book a full session soon.

Have you ever been told you are over-sensitive?

Often the person saying this is avoiding their own feelings, and feeling threatened by your ability to feel and express yours. Sometimes they are the very source of those feelings, and rather than acknowledge that, they would rather you think that you are the problem.

But here's what can happen over time — that message gets internalised. It becomes a part of you, an inner voice that learned to protect you by suppressing your feelings, telling you that you are too much, that it isn't safe to feel.

What if that part of you wasn't a flaw to be fixed, but a protector to be understood?

And when we gently explore what that protector has been carrying, and help it understand that it is safe, the part of you that feels deeply — your sensitivity, your emotional richness — gets to come out of hiding and live fully and authentically.

This is the heart of the work I do — helping you reconnect with the calm, compassionate centre that was always there beneath them, and from that place, get curious about your parts and understand why they do what they do.

Do you hear a voice inside telling you you're too sensitive? I'd love to hear your thoughts in the comments. 💙
