This image was shared by fellow therapist (@emdrrelational) and the message conveyed resonated at a personal, professional and societal level. Sometimes a picture tells a thousand stories…. The young Slovenian artist (Anja Rozen) created this art to show what peace looks like from her perspective “my drawing represents the land that binds us and unites us. Humans are woven together. If someone gives up, others fall. We are all connected to our planet and to each other, but unfortunately we are little aware of it. We are woven together. Other people weave alongside me my own story; and I weave theirs” Therapy can can see us connect and weave stories together, tending to the dropped stitches and holes in the tapestry of life. #belonging #emotionalhealth #EMDR #breathwork #thebodykeepsthescore #attachment #traumainformed #melbournepsychologist

The internal maps guiding us through life need to

The internal maps guiding us through life need to be updated over time. Areas once declared no-go zones block and restrict us until they can be safely reclaimed. Difficult territory might need new resources, maturation, and relational safety to enable us to navigate it. When we traverse each of the barriers in our path we are able to step forward in the direction of our preferred future. Therapeutic work together involves building a map. We assess the lay of the land together as we uncover features that have been formed from layers of life experience. We identify which zones have been kept off limits, the barriers preventing our return, and what resources we might need with us on the journey. The journey becomes a respectful exploration of self. Our inner world is like a landscape we learn to navigate and rather than condemn ourselves for its features, we learn to become curious about them. With adequate resources we explore them and tend the needs that arise. #melbournepsychologist #EMDR #adaptiveinformationprocessing #breathwork #thebodykeepsthescore #attachment #emotionregulation #permissiontofeel #mentalhealth #nervoussystemregulation #brainhealth #traumainformed #emdrtherapist #mindbody #therapy #nobadparts #selfleadership

Healing from developmental and relational trauma i

Healing from developmental and relational trauma involves reconnecting with the parts of self as they existed before the damage – before our stories and beliefs were shaped by adversity – and offering reassurance they no longer need to keep living from damage but can now experience the care of an empowered adult self. Feelings are the essence of life, without connection to emotion we are not whole human beings. Go back and retrieve those multiple fragments left behind each time we were shocked, abused, neglected, or wounded. Then we can put our self back together. Befriending these parts of our self and cultivating and restoring meaningful connections with each other is the best possible medicine. #melbournepsychologist #EMDR #breathwork #thebodykeepsthescore #attachment #emotionregulation #permissiontofeel #mentalhealth #nervoussystemregulation #brainhealth #traumainformed #emdrtherapist #mindbody #therapy #nobadparts #selfleadership

When we move through the inevitable cycles of chan

When we move through the inevitable cycles of change in life, we are challenged to make inner shifts to our identity and beliefs as we assimiliate and adapt to new circumstances. A change is just the beginning - the event that sparks an internal shift. What follows is a period of consistent and specific effort, moving towards and integrating the events of change to navigate what follows. Between an ending and a beginning lies doubt, uncertainty, discomfort and disorientation. Learning to accept and make room for the uncomfortable sensations during this period is vital to prevent being swept away and swallowed up completely. Slowly we can clarify what needs to be let go and what beliefs might support us to move forward. We start to tentatively sense signals of a new way and hints of possibility. With each transition we build recognition of what ended, what we let go, what we gained in return, and with each exposure we recognise we can do it again. - what is your experience of change and endings? - how does your cycle of growth and maturation look? - are there transitions you have met with resistance and have yet to complete? - how do you handle the sensations of discomfort that accompany transitions? - what do you know now that you didn’t before this cycle of growth? #melbournepsychologist #EMDR #breathwork #thebodykeepsthescore #attachment #emotionregulation #mentalhealth #emotionalhealth #nervoussystemregulation #brainhealth #traumainformed #emdrtherapist #mindbody #therapy #nobadparts #selfleadership
