Counselling
Vulnerability is scary. To dare to cast your fears aside in the service of wholehearted living is no easy task, and to do that in the presence of another soul, even more so. Read more below:
Vulnerability is our greatest measure of courage
- Brene Brown
Therapy is a space created to hold your fears and your hopes, your disappointments and your dreams. It is also a place of exploration and of profound healing. A skilled counsellor can help you visit the museum in your mind, unpack all the boxes you’ve hidden in every corner of the building and safely explore their contents; for the more you look at the artefacts, the less power they have over you.
Some of those artefacts are difficult to access and you may not even have words for some of them. That's why it's important to be listening to the body as much as to the mind. The mind and the body are no more detached than your head is from your neck, so to ignore the body is to ignore vital information about your experiences as well as paths toward healing. Somatic Experiencing integrated into psychotherapy looks at both the mind and the body when exploring your experiences with the aim of reintegrating the two in a holistic way.
