Reclaim your life

We are intrinsically healthy and whole but in the course of our lives it may not always have been safe to be who we are.

When we were little we needed our caregivers in order to survive emotionally, and we might have gotten the message that we could not receive their love if we were our natural selves; full of energy and equipped with all the emotions and drives of the human condition.

We learned to protect ourselves and we learned all kinds of strategies to meet the demands of the world around us. So when we have grown up and become able to stand on our own feet, we habitually hold on to the protections we adopted. This is what is familiar, and it has worked well for us after all. These strategies often get in the way of living fully, and they might be creating more suffering than relief. By holding on to our defenses we are guarding ourselves from our own livelihood, and live cut off from our source.

The therapeutic process is an invitation to examine our habits. It provides a safe space in which we can rediscover our true selves and start opening up to life again.
