This can create a severance in our ability to commune and connect with our innermost place of the self, while also impairing our ability to connect outwards with the world around us.
I often liken this experience to suddenly finding yourself within
the endless labyrinth
with its curving complexities,
contradictions,
and
question marks.
There are experiences within this world that sometimes touch our soul so deeply that they leave a lasting imprint upon our bodies and minds.
We feel forever changed
Yet, we don’t always knowwhat this change
means.
How to wrestle and reckon with it.
How to pen a new chapter.
Maybe beginning to doubt that the next one iseven worth it.
We struggle to look
(beyond)
ever preoccupied with what lies
(before).
Within the labyrinth we sometimes find ourselves unreachable by our loved ones and others outside of its walls.
Unable to lay the burdens down which bind us. Haunt us.
Sometimes there is comfort within the labyrinth’s isolation. Here, we may feel safer for a period of time.
But on a long enough timeline, the very isolation that once brought relief can sometimes bring with it an unwelcome visitor
… a unique degree of despair, hopelessness, alienation, & stagnation.
These headspaces can slowly gnaw away at the core of our being.
Sometimes leaving us feeling unrecognizable to ourselves.
We know the world passes on around us – yet it’s hard to feel fully connected or, really, even a part of it.
Parts of us may even feel frozen within the past. Unthawed with time.
This experience can sometimes feel so abstract that it’s difficult to describe the nature of the labyrinth to those who have not walked its endless, winding corridors.
People may try to peer through its windows, but seem unable to reach us.
Unable to truly empathize or understand.
As a trauma-informed therapist, I can provide a warm firelight within your maze’s deepest passages.
Holding a grounded and nonjudgmental space for you to begin reprocessing life’s most difficult and sometimes incomprehensible moments.
My passion is to provide a gentle & empathic presence to begin shedding light on the areas you feel stuck within.
Together, we can work towards reprocessing these wounds and bring your subconscious beliefs to light
so that you can begin to dwell more richly in the present moment
… transcending your labyrinth’s corridors towards a richer pasture beyond.
There is resiliency & hope which can be born from the adversity we have overcome!
