We all have to start somewhere.
What is it like to work with me.
A wise woman once told me the most subversive thing I could ever do is to be authentically myself. That’s tricky stuff right there.
For me being a Homeopath works best when I am being me, authentically, in the present, without judgement of me or you.
Interestingly, so does the rest of my life.
Finding our voice:
Being genuine, of undisputed origin, not a copy, faithful to our own selves is difficult sometimes. To find a voice in a world that is so full of voices and thoughts, so full of experts and people telling you how it is or should be. Sometimes in the noise and shouting, we can lose ourselves. We can suppress our true nature and start living in the land of should and shouldn’t – “I should be better” “I shouldn’t be anxious/angry/sad”.
That’s not going to make anyone happy.
I suppress our emotions; especially the emotions I perceive to be ‘negative’- anger, sadness, anxiety, rage – I can bury them, depress them and then I can’t feel any of the things, Joy, laughter contentment, happiness.
When emotions go unsaid and unfelt, this affects my health, my relationships and my life detrimentally. I’m surviving not thriving. This is why I love Homeopathy and shamanic healing because it helps me with all this stuff.
How many times have you heard people say “I can’t cry in front of anyone” or “I should have got over it by now”? For me, part of being authentic is recognising when I feel these things and allowing myself to feel them, homeopathy has helped me to do that.
Yes, anger can be toxic, as can grief and sadness, if they are pushed down and ignored. If there is no slow release valve then they tend to come out in unexpected ways and can manifest as, for example, road rage, anxiety, eating too much or too little, or insomnia/anxiety.
No judgement
My hope is that people can feel authentically who they are in our homeopathic consultations. I have been told people feel safe and trust me, that they don’t feel judged and have felt100% listened to, perceived and celebrated for who they are, however that may be.
Learning to recognise and be ok with how we feel is an on-going process. It can sometimes feel overwhelming. Noticing and being aware of feelings and patterns takes time and gentleness. It is often easier with someone to walk some of the way with us.
You are the only expert on you.
After all you are the only expert on you that exists, and you have everything within you to make yourself whole again. It’s just a matter of unearthing YOU from under all the thoughts that plague us all. You know the ones – that we are not enough, or our voice isn’t important. That we can’t have what we want, that crying makes us weak, we shouldn’t be anxious, they go on and on.
You are a precious and unique creation and you are loving, lovable and loved. True facts.
So please when you come and see me, come as you are.
