I have permission to share this story. ✨

The Iceberg Theory, and why it still matters 🤍

The mind like an iceberg.

What we see above the surface is only a small part of what’s really happening.

🧠 The conscious mind (the tip)
This is what you’re aware of right now - your thoughts, feelings, choices, and behaviours in the present moment.

🌊 The subconscious (just below the surface)
Memories, emotions, and information that aren’t in awareness right now, but can be gently accessed when needed.

🧊 The unconscious (the largest part)
This is where early experiences, unmet needs, learned survival responses, and unresolved trauma are stored.
Often outside of conscious awareness, yet still influencing how we feel, react, and relate.

From a trauma-informed, somatic perspective, this “unseen” material doesn’t live only in the mind, it lives in the body and nervous system.

This is why we can understand why we feel a certain way...and still feel stuck.

Healing isn’t about forcing insight.

It’s about creating enough safety for what’s been held beneath the surface to gently rise, be felt, and be integrated, at your own pace.

Signs a younger part of you may be wounded ❤️‍🩹

This doesn't mean something is wrong with you.

It simply reflect a nervous system shaped by early experience.

Healing begins with compassion, not force. 🫶🏻

Just a thought, can you relate?

16/03/2026

Tried therapy but something still feels stuck? 🧠

There are two sides of your brain - the left and the right.

The left half: for speech and thinking
The right half: For image processing and spacial thinking

Working with only one side of your brain can leave you feeling incomplete.

⬅️ Left brain only: you understand, but still feel stuck.

➡️ Right brain only: you feel everything, but can’t make sense of it.

🤝 Somatic trauma-informed healing supports both sides together.

Which is why people come to me after they've tried everything else. ❤️‍🩹

I'm so grateful to hear this from my clients. There is nothing "wrong" with you, my work helps you to understand yourself, so you can meet yourself with compassion, and care for every part of you ❤️✨

Do you feel like you aren't your true self? I've been there, too ❤️‍🩹

Ever wonder why the little things feel like too much? 😔

Your Window Of Tolerance is the zone where we feel emotionally regulated, safe, and able to cope.

Trauma can shrink that window, increasing the likelihood of overwhelm or shutdown.

This is not because we are weak.

It's because our nervous system has learnt to stay alert for danger.

📈If you're over your Window Of Tolerance, you can feel anxiety, panic, racing thoughts, irritability or emotional reactivity.

📉Or, if you're under your Window Of Tolerance, you can feel numb, disconnected, shut down, or unmotivated.

❤️The middle range is where you feel calm, safe, manageable emotions and clear thinking.

People who have experienced trauma often find themselves fluctuating between being over or under, and struggle to find the middle range.

That is what a therapist is there to help you with. ✨

Understanding this concept can help you to be more compassionate and gentle with yourself.
