Not one to follow trends but the reflection of looking back to 2016 is a huge reminder of how far I’ve come, how doing the work and healing has changed my life…a decade really feels like a life time ago…
2016 there isn’t really many photos of me, I spent most of that year in survival mode, renting a beautiful villa but no security (evicted early 2017) working at home made it easy to hide away under a heavy blanket of sadness, fear, extreme anxiety….
Years of addictive behaviour was now creating paranoia and I was stuck in repeated patterns…in a tormented relationship that become one of the scariest few years of my life. (Due to my own poor choices)
The highlight of the year was a trip to Australia…a breather…a bit of space…a few moments of peace, safety…freedom
* I rode a camel , enjoyed nature, warmth
2016 was my awakening…I recognised the patterns, I just wasn’t sure how to change them…but something inside was igniting..the need for change …this was the beginning of the end
What I didn’t know was the healing was going to get messy, things were about to get so much worse before they would settle…..but 2016 was when I knew I had to choose change.
So now with the final few weeks of the year of the snake I’m shedding the last residue of an old chapter of my life, I can share my story without shame or being triggered….
Ive done so much healing, I’m constantly doing the work on myself…I haven’t used drugs for many years, I’ve changed my circle, found a new tribe…built a new business ….I’ve grown, the tools I used to help myself are now the tools I’ve learnt to help others.
I’ve spent the last five years gaining qualifications in Life Coaching, NLP, Clinical Hypnotherapy, Trauma Informed Certification, Brainspotting and IRM (Inherited Release Method).
I believe we all have the power to change, it starts with choice….I choose change…2016 was where it was ignited.
