INDIVIDUAL COUNSELLING

Accessing the emotional side takes courage, to share those negative emotions such as shame, fear, guilt, boredom, rage, grief, hopelessness, loneliness, abandonment is to share vulnerability is something rare and an invaluable, is a form of bravery and inner strength. Self understanding is how you connect your past from memory with your present experience, its a mindsight tool

 

When we create a narrative of who we are , we link past and present that help us with "mental time travel" as we create a coherent view of ourselves across past ,present, and future.  The moment we can build boundaries and say “Yes” and “No” is reaching freedom. One step at time.
