Most people develop some kind of self-loathing and feel disappointed in themselves. This is typically based on messages we receive growing up. Somehow, we are never good enough, we don’t measure up in intelligence, beauty, goodness and accomplishments. Rejections from parents, lovers, and friends over the years can cause us to lose self-esteem, confidence, and trust in self. If we had traumatic experiences, we learned to shut down more and feel disconnected from life. Especially when bad things happened when we were still children, we diminished ourselves and constricted parts of ourselves that were not met with safety and acceptance. There is an intelligence that helped us to survive and to get to the present moment. However, now you are in a time in your life that you can seek support to take a new look. Habits and coping that helped you in the past may no longer work, and they inhibit you from finding your true potential and joy. As a therapist, I can help you to uncover old wounds and hurts, help you to process traumatic experiences, and help you to more deeply connect with who you are in your essence. Especially when working with Ketamine, I invite the Sacred to enter the healing space. I will explore with you (if you choose to work with me) what this means to you, and we collaborate on setting up a ritual space that feels good to both of us.
