It’s Time to RECLAIM YOURSELF!

What just happened? What on earth was THAT that happened over the past two years! Did you get rattled? Did you feel shook? Did something happen with your relationship? Did you see things in your relationship that you never saw before?

The pandemic just happened. I still remember, I was planning to go to Bali with my daughter. I had never been there before. I was doing all my research on where I wanted to stay. I started looking for tickets. I heard this virus was going around in China but thought nah, it’s not going to affect us here in Australia. As each day passed the alert grew. Yet, I was still determined to go. I really did think I could just go and get back to Australia and all would be fine.

Well, one day it became obvious that travel was out of the question and perhaps too risky. I lived in risk as perhaps you did too. I had an elderly father and it seemed that covid was too risky to share with him. And so, risk and risk aversion became the theme. Wash hands, sanitize areas, wear masks, get vaccinated, only go out to get supplies, don’t do social gatherings and stay in your homes.

Cooped up like battery chickens. What could go wrong?

Maybe at first there was novelty, there was fun. Freedom to watch streaming tv and eat chips all day. Buy a puppy, go for walks. Sounds good.

It turns out that the home for many people in the past two years went from being a sanctuary to a nightmare. When we could escape things were tolerable and when we couldn’t we noticed something. Relationships were perhaps not the communication haven that we once thought they were. Our partners irritated us and emotional wounds opened up. Rawness was evident. DV was up and messages were frequent on my phone, “When are you seeing clients face to face again?” When my practice opened for f2f I was the busiest I have ever been with couples.

It was hard for me. Couples weren’t coming in with a dilemma, they were at breaking point. I felt more like a referee with the white flag and sometimes they couldn’t even listen to me.

What did I learn? We still have a long way to go with learning, understand and healing from relationships. It takes great relationship skill and understanding to live cooped up like battery chickens for any extended period of time. Looks like we had an abrupt awaking about our ability with relationships. This has been a good thing. For some people are now interested in understanding about relationships. Between some of our dysfunctional baby boomer parents and some poor parenting advise they were given, to patriarchy to past world wars and racism and slavery there is a lot to make sense of and to heal from.

The pandemic may have highlighted relationships that we thought were ok but really weren’t. It may have highlighted what we implicitly accepted but now it is no longer the case. This may be the case for both sexes. We probably didn’t even hear of the concept of boundaries in relationship pre-pandemic yet now it is a familiar term.

If you are a women and felt lost and want to find you again (maybe a wiser you), this women’s workshop – “It’s time to reclaim yourself” is for you. Reclaim your confidence, courage, creativity, vitality, passion, clarity, wisdom and joy.

Relationships are fundamental to all humans and mammals for that matter. As a child we didn’t have the choice to get out dysfunctional relationships we had to learn how to survive. As adults we instinctively are drawn to what is familiar to us however, if we don’t understand this we can easily become confused with relationships. When we do know what it is we can understand and heal from it. We can develop insights that can lead us into healthy relationships and distinguish what no longer serves us.

Spend a day with me and we’ll discover this with relationship theories and through our breath and our own bodies wisdom.

We were born to feel and heal!
