🌱 Looking forward to the next chapter of my life.
Life’s curveballs don’t mean we’re back at square one — they’re often the beginning of another phase of growth.

Healing is not linear, and sometimes the hardest moments are the ones that help us rediscover who we really are.

As Dr. Frank Anderson says:
“Trauma makes us who we aren’t. Overwhelming life events often force us to betray parts of ourselves to survive. Healing involves reconnecting to those parts and finally becoming our true authentic self again.”

Here’s to shedding the layers that no longer serve us and stepping into authenticity. 💫

📚 Holiday Read: Scattered Minds by Dr Gabor Maté

A powerful deep-dive into ADHD, attachment, and healing.
Chapter 24 really resonated—where Maté explores “counterwill” in teenagers. It’s not rebellion for the sake of it, but a natural push for autonomy when some attachment needs have been met.

Such a valuable reminder that what looks like defiance is often part of healthy development.

Perfect reading for some quiet reflection this holiday. 🌿

Your body speaks — are you listening?

In service-based professions like social work, counselling, nursing, or hospitality, we give so much of ourselves to others. But when we ignore the whispers of fatigue, stress, or emotional overload, our bodies scream back — through burnout, vicarious trauma, and chronic exhaustion.

💡 You can’t pour from an empty cup.
Give your body the time and space it needs to rest, heal, and replenish. Prioritising your well-being isn’t selfish — it’s essential. 🌿

🌱 Knowing When to Let Go 🌱

One of the toughest lessons in love is this: knowing when to walk away is just as important as knowing when to stay.

Even when there’s deep care, history, or hope — sometimes the connection no longer aligns with your peace, your growth, or your emotional capacity. And that’s okay.

Protecting your mental and emotional well-being doesn’t make you weak or disloyal. It means you’re honouring yourself. 💛

Letting go—gently, intentionally, and without bitterness—can create space. Space to heal. Space to breathe. Space for the love you truly deserve.

To anyone making the brave decision to choose themselves: I see you. You’re allowed to choose calm over chaos. You’re allowed to choose peace over proving your worth.

🕊️ You are allowed to choose you.

✨ One year ago — the 35th Annual Trauma Conference in Boston (2024) 🌍🧠
Still reflecting on the powerful insights, global perspectives, and the deep learning that came from being in a room full of trauma experts and practitioners.

💡 A standout moment for me was Dr. Jim Hopper’s talk on MDMA-assisted therapy — highlighting risks and challenges that are often left out of mainstream conversations. Thought-provoking and essential.

📚 And yes — I got The Body Keeps the Score signed by Dr. Bessel van der Kolk (see 2nd pic!) 🤩 A core text in trauma work and a special moment I’ll always remember.

✅ Bonus: We had to complete an online assessment to earn Continuing Professional Development (CPD) points and a certificate — a great way to consolidate the learning.

Counting down to 2026 already!

Therapeutic roots 🌱

While cleaning out my cupboard, I found my old workshop booklet from my Social Work degree at Curtin University (1995–1999). ✨

It took me right back to those early days—learning counselling skills, exploring therapeutic modalities, and doing practice sessions behind two-way mirrors. I still remember the impact of lecturers like the late Ronald Moffat and Julie Dickinson.

Those foundations continue to shape my work today, now expanded by trauma-informed approaches, Polyvagal Theory, somatic regulation, and complementary therapies.

It’s amazing how learning evolves—but the roots stay strong. 💬🧠💛

Don’t mistake my boundaries for coldness.
If you knew the battles I’ve fought and the years it took to rebuild my peace, you’d understand why I guard it so fiercely.

Spoke about mental health and trauma.🧠

25/04/2025

When there is a case in the media about sexual assaults, most survivors of sexual assaults get triggered. Mainly, because most have experienced “victim blaming” resulting in feelings of shame and anger trapped inside their bodies. They live with the double assault, firstly, being assaulted and secondly for being blamed. Never being believed.

Their nervous system has changed from this point onwards. They are constantly on fight, flight, freeze, fawn or fold mode. Resulting in complete behaviour change potentially with mental health consequences.

For all survivors out there… it is not your fault and you can heal.

Parenting with playfulness isn’t just fun — it’s powerful. 💫 It builds stronger bonds, boosts emotional & social skills, and turns everyday moments into meaningful connections. For both you and your child, play makes learning exciting and reduces stress and power struggles. Let joy lead the way. 💛
