In my experience I have noticed many empaths are codependent before they are aware and awakened. past trauma is usually the cause of codependents feeling like they are not whole unless they have approval from other people. Codependency drains our energy because we focus too much on the attachment figure(s), to the point of letting go of our safety and self care. Cultural programming keeps us stuck in the unhealthy helper and people pleaser roles. Lets heal and start loving all our parts again.

I often wondered learning simple communication skills in early childhood education could save people from ongoing struggles in relationships. I am interested more in human connections than the labels of the relationships. I believe that the wounds that happened in relationships, have a better chance of healing in relationships.

Anxiety and depression are not just diagnoses but the result of unhealed and unattended wounds. The parts in us that are seeking help show up as anxiety (worry about the future) and depression (inability to think about a bright and hopeful future) symptoms. I use trauma healing modalities to heal from the past and mindfulness based modalities to provide ease in the present time so that clients can move forward with ease and grace.

I am trained in Peter Levine's Somatic experiencing, There are three levels human beings are often afflicted from past trauma, thoughts , feelings and body sensations. I integrate top down i.e thoughts to the body and bottom up i.e body to heal the mind approaches in my sessions.

I am trained in Dick Schwatrz's Internal Family Systems. Parts of psyche split and take the hit from the trauma in order to protect the whole psyche. These parts are often stuck in time and space and looking for a chance to be resurrected. These parts might have behaviors that we don't like, clients often show up in therapy sessions seeking help to get rid of these unwanted behaviors. However when we help these parts to heal , their gifts will then show up in our lives.

Francine Shapiro's EMDR is often the first trauma modality I use with many of my clients so that they get used to the lingo, noticing and processing the feelings , core negative beliefs and body sensations. simple yet very effective.
