When your trauma becomes your wisdom…

I heard something recently that stuck with me: “When you can remember something traumatic without being emotionally hijacked by it, it becomes wisdom.” That doesn’t mean you forget what happened and suddenly think it was ok, and it defo doesn’t mean you have to be grateful for the shite you’ve experienced. But it does mean that you can finally remember what happened without feeling like you’re re-living it all over again in your body and mind.  Before healing, you tell…

Just Fcking do it!

  What’s something you’re actively avoiding doing right now, and how different would your life be if you just got it done?! 🤔 I want you to think of ONE thing you’re avoiding doing right now – might be a hard conversation, setting a boundary, ending a relationship or friendship. Maybe it’s leaving your job, booking the appointment, being honest about your finances or hiring that staff member. Perhaps you’re at that place in your life with a person or…

Lyn’s story

  When I met Lyn in March 2025, she had been agoraphobic for around 5 years and barely left her room during that time. 🥺 She was estranged from her family, had survived abusive relationships, was living with complex PTSD after significant grief and loss, had very little support outside of her doctor and psychologist, and certainly wasn’t living the life she wanted. We initially had a video call to discuss her needs and a way forward. She has since…

“But they seem so nice” – The cruel reality of covert abuse

  One of the hardest things about being in a relationship with a covert abuser is the fact that nobody witnesses the abuse. 🥺 Actually, most people see the complete opposite – the charming person, the funny side of them, the helpful side of them, the “empathic” side of them.  They might see your partner as the kind of person who’d give you the shirt off their back. 👕  The kind of person everyone loves – while behind closed doors,…
