In Other words: Spiritual Bypassing
Spirituality can be a powerful tool for healing, but when it’s used to avoid pain rather than face it, it becomes a trap.
The Frustrating Reality of Not Being Able to Eat Like Others
We’ve tried many remedies to help our gut health, but nothing has worked as well as removing foods that our bodies can’t tolerate. Because restrictive diets can be isolating, I remain hopeful that one day we’ll find solutions to eat freely again.
Slow Living.
I don’t even notice it until I’ve slipped back in—that familiar rush of doing, checking, moving. But what if slowing down isn’t just about being more present, but about learning how to be?
Weird Against My Will
One of the deepest traumas in my life is feeling like I’m always ‘too much.’ My thoughts, my needs, my very self. It’s not a made-up sentiment; it’s rooted in years of being reminded that my authenticity is ‘too weird’ or ‘too much.’ Whether I’m socialising, managing relationships, or simply trying to cope, the message I get is clear: I don’t fit.
Can we Heal?
Healing is a journey, not a destination. It's about striving to improve our well-being, even when the odds seem stacked against us. In a world where many resist the idea of healing, we are often left to explore alternative paths, discovering that true healing encompasses body, mind, and spirit. It’s a journey fraught with challenges, but it is one worth pursuing—whether it's healing with trauma, neurodivergence, or dealing with the struggles of our daily lives.
