Don’t Miss the Discussions About Dopamine
My curiosity led me to explore dopamine, that elusive neurotransmitter, and I found myself questioning: Are dopamine issues the result of trauma, toxins, genes, lifestyle or a mix of all these?
In Other Words: Toxic Shame
I’ve felt shame for growing up in poverty and neglect. Shame for struggling to function in a world that expects constant productivity. Shame for questioning societal norms and making unconventional choices.
Stuck in Self-Healing: Why My Trauma Search Became a Dead End
We've been taught to look for trauma in the past, in our parents, in our childhoods. But what if the real struggle lies in simply living in a world that doesn’t align with who we are? The deeper I dug into trauma, the more I realised that the real issue wasn’t about fixing the past—it was about surviving the present.
It’s Me Against Me (And the Case of ADHD)
ADHD often feels like having a brain that’s constantly switching channels, unable to settle on one. For me, it’s a paradox of intense dedication and persistent struggles—finishing what I start but running in circles without structure.
Living Clean in a Dirty World: Why We LIve a Low Tox Life
I didn’t set out to live a low-tox life. In fact, I resisted it. But life has a way of nudging you in directions you never planned. For me, it came in the form of unanswered questions about my health and my son’s struggles—questions that led me to uncover the invisible impact of the world around us. What started as resistance turned into a way of life, one choice at a time.
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.
