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?
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.
Science 🤓
Science doesn’t confirm reality—it explores it. It’s a tool, not a verdict.
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.
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.
