Shame often hides behind perfectionism.

If you grew up needing to “get it right” to feel accepted, your brain learned that mistakes = danger.

This isn’t you being dramatic.

It’s your nervous system protecting you from rejection.

You don’t need to earn worthiness.
You already have it.

Shame isn’t about what happened — it’s about what you felt alone with.

The body stores the aloneness as much as the event.
That’s why memories you’ve “worked on” still sting: the nervous system is replaying the absence of support.

Therapy gives you the support you should’ve had then.

Message me if you’re ready.

I’ve just come back from a week off where I practiced what I always tell everyone else to do: slow down, switch off, and let your nervous system breathe.

So naturally… I ran away to North Devon, ignored my phone like it owed me money, and “accidentally” climbed a mountain. (Yes, genuinely. 5,000ft of elevation on one walk. My glutes have filed a formal complaint.)

I explored the coastline, had breakfast with views that made my brain reboot, and sat on a cliff sipping soup like the main character in a low-budget wellness documentary. I hot-tubbed. I bathed. I took myself on long walks and made unusual friendships in Braunton — sheep, highland cows, and a Dalmatian-spotted pony who looked at me like he was the therapist.

I walked miles, immersed myself in music, and let my body reset in a way only solitude and sea air can do. And I’m incredibly grateful for a family who know that sometimes I need time alone so I can return grounded, restored, and fully resourced.

I feel alive, grateful, and genuinely rested — ready to support you all on the run-up to, through, and beyond the festive period.

Self-care isn’t indulgent. It’s maintenance. And sometimes it looks like soup on a cliff and befriending farm animals.

Shame is the emotional equivalent of turning on yourself.

It’s your brain’s attempt to create order when chaos felt unmanageable.

Children blame themselves because blaming adults would make the world unsafe.
The pattern continues into adulthood.

If this resonates, it’s not your fault — it’s your conditioning.

Let’s rewrite the story together.

Shame thrives in silence because the amygdala treats isolation as danger.

This is why talking about what you’re ashamed of feels physically painful — your nervous system thinks you’re at risk.

The antidote is not exposure.
It’s attuned connection.

Healing happens in the presence of someone who says, “I see you. You’re safe.”

If you need that space, I’m here.

Shame isn’t a personality trait — it’s a survival strategy.
When we carry shame, it’s the brain’s attempt to make sense of experiences that were too big, too sudden, or too unsupported.

The limbic system decides: “It must be me. If it’s me, I can control it.”

This belief once protected you.
Now it imprisons you.

If you’re ready to unpick shame safely, reach out.

You don’t need to “be better” — you need to feel safer.
When the body feels safe, the mind follows.

When the nervous system is regulated, clarity returns.
When the emotional brain trusts the moment, healing accelerates.

Safety isn’t optional for trauma recovery — it’s the foundation.

If you’re ready to build safety from the inside out, message me.

Shame is one of the most corrosive emotions — and yet, it’s one of the most common in trauma survivors.

Shame turns pain into self-blame.

But shame doesn’t survive exposure.

When we bring compassion, curiosity, and connection to the places that hurt, the brain rewrites the meaning.
You are not what happened to you.

If you need support releasing shame safely, I’m here.

Self-regulation is not just breathing deeply — it’s understanding what your system is doing and why.
Your vagus nerve plays a huge role in how quickly you return to calm.

With the right tools, you can train it like a muscle.

Breathwork.
Visualisation.
Grounding.
Movement.
Consistency.

If you’d like personalised tools to strengthen your regulation system, reach out.

You’re not “broken” because you struggle with intimacy, trust or closeness.

Trauma teaches the body that vulnerability = danger.
So the system protects you by withdrawing, shutting down, or choosing unavailable people.

Healing is giving your nervous system a new template: closeness without threat.

If you’re ready to explore this with safety and care, message me.

Hypervigilance is exhausting.

Your system scans for danger even when none is present, keeping you in a high-alert state that drains your energy, sleep, and focus.

This is the nervous system stuck in a survival pattern.
Therapy helps the body relearn safety so it can finally exhale.

If you want support calming the constant “what ifs,” reach out.

Dissociation isn’t “spacing out.”

It’s a biological protection mechanism when the system feels too overwhelmed to stay fully present.

It’s your brain taking you somewhere safer — temporarily.

With the right grounding tools, your system learns it can stay connected without danger.

If dissociation shows up for you, you are not alone — and it is absolutely workable.
