Stress

Be like water around rocks

    When you’re going through stresses in life, how do you tend to approach it?   Do you deal with stress by using negative coping strategies like drinking, smoking, taking drugs, gambling, shopping or mindlessly scrolling through your FB feed/TV guide?   Do you face problems head on, knowing that they’re really just challenges to be overcome and that with each challenge comes a gift of learning?   Do you prefer to be like water around rocks? 🪨 💦 …

You’re not a mess. You’re a feeling person in a messy world.

    I often have conversations with people who speak a lot about what they perceive as their anxiety and depression 🥹   What I’ve noticed is that sometimes we pathologise feelings that are a normal response to an abnormal situation.   “You are not a mess. You are a feeling person in a messy world.” ~ Glennon Doyle Melton   We throw around terms like anxiety and depression very loosely in this modern world, often when it’s not actually…

From drinking as a coping tool to occasional social drinking

      One of my favourite healing techniques I’ve learned in the last year are removing energetic stress webs.   Stress webs are the result of overactive communication between the adrenals, hypothalamus and pituitary gland, causing “stress webs” to shoot out from the adrenals and wrapping around various areas of the body, keeping the body locked down in a pattern of stress.    One recent example is a client who contacted me saying she wanted to break her habit…

What has become your new normal, and are you willing to change it?

  I was talking to a client last week who described a life changing event when he was 14.   He smoked weed for the first (and last) time, and since then he felt like he’s been watching life through a veil, or from behind glass.   He’s had heightened anxiety and struggles to relate to those around him.   He’s looked into it on google and found the terms “derealization” and “depersonalisation.”   “Derealization is an alteration in the perception…
