I am passionate about supporting parents who are struggling at various stages of parenting journey, especially those who have a history of trauma and unprocessed emotional challenges. I help parents to become an aspirational version of themselves by healing their own story. I work with motivated and insightful adults, who are committed to deeper understand how their past has impacted their relationships and are ready to positively change their lives.
When we become parents all emotional unresolved stuff from our own past, our upbringing comes into surface. As our children are going to go through various developmental stages, we will also revisit what we have and haven't learned in our own development.
Trauma doesn't come back as a memory, it comes back as a reaction. Most of the time we don't understand why we are reacting this way as we often don't have conscious recollection of what happened to us when we were younger, perhaps even before we learned how to talk and walk.
We might not understand why we withdraw, feel more anxious, triggered, feeling anger or rage, feeling lost or stuck. We might blame ourselves for not doing what we know in theory we should be doing.
All of these things could mean that there is an opportunity for a lot of healing. Our children offer us various chances to re-visit everything we haven't been able to process before, an opportunity to grow, become a parent and a person we want to be.
In my practice I support parents (and everyone else!) through their journey of healing, growth and change.
