4994 /sōphronízō “Literally "living in divine moderation" is moving in the "bigger picture" transforming someone to be "radically-balanced". This radical-moderation requires a complete perspective that is eclectic, combining the legitimate extremities of truth from both sides of a matter…”
Balance
In essence, trauma drives us to extremes, to duality and to fragmentation. Our aim is to bring balance, integration and restoration to parts of you that have been isolated, rejected and judged through researched based methodology.
Understanding
Your story is like no one else’s. It is important to take time to understand you and all the things that have contributed to your journey thus far. This ensures your safety and enables a unique approach that addresses your unique goals, needs and desires.
Awareness
It can be a lot to take in once you begin to understand why you may be experiencing what you are. Your awareness is a big part of what allows the strategies that are presented to be helpful. What makes healing long lasting is that you know and understand what is happening and you are on board and a part of choosing the way forward.
Compassion
Healing cannot occur without compassion. Not only do we hold compassion for you and the pace that you feel comfortable with, we teach and ask you to do the same for yourself.
Somatic Focus
Our body holds every memory of our experiences. We must befriend the body’s signals and messages so that we can understand what we need to move forward and live in the present. Body based approaches are critical to resolving trauma.
Nice to meet you!
Hello!
It is lovely to have you here. You are so welcome.
Sound Mind was founded with the purpose of bringing not only hope, but also long lasting, transformation to individuals who are struggling to enjoy and thrive in their everyday life and relationships. Challenges can seem incredibly broad, confusing and difficult when we have to navigate it alone, but it can be surprisingly empowering and strengthening when we have the right guidance and support.
I am convinced that a deep and broad understanding of the impacts of trauma and stress is crucial for long term healing. I have no doubt that living free from trauma is possible. The journey isn’t overnight, it isn’t linear but I can promise you, it absolutely is available. Your life holds so much more significance than what you ever dare to dream, and embarking on this journey is saying yes to discovering that for which you were created. When we hold that in mind, even the hardest of times become filled with purpose.
It would be an honour to walk this journey with you, however long that may be.
Please reach out if you have any questions, I would love to hear from you.
