HOW IT ALL STARTED
MY OWN HEALING JOURNEY AS A licensed Clinical mental health counselor
How did I get here? That’s a question I get asked fairly often so I wanted to give you a little background on my own healing journey and what has brought me here, to this moment.
I was always curious in learning about "who I am." In my 20's I decided it was time to awaken and take the journey. I had spent over 25 years working on improving myself using meditation and mindfulness as a daily practice. I continued to be committed and still use these practices to deepen into my authentic self. As I moved closer to my truest of "Self" I wanted to learn more.
That is when I was introduced to the Internal Family Systems Model. Talk about fascinating? This evidenced based model has the belief that the mind is made up of parts and that each part has its own feelings and personality. How interesting? That peeked my curiosity even more since I am open to being a little weird, odd or out there sometimes. What I found was that you have some parts that help you function well while other parts try to control you because they carry wounds from the past that haven't been healed.
When I heard that, it made sense to check it out, since some research suggests that 99% of America comes from a dysfunctional family and I was from one of them! I felt motivated and a thought of inspiration came to me. This voice inside was quiet and said "I need to do this work and help others." That was my intuition talking! I knew because my heart warmed, my eyes lit up, and I was smiling ear to ear! I could help others? I felt it wasn't enough to just understand these parts alone. That is when I decided to go back to grad school for a clinical mental health counseling degree and get a deeper understanding of the mind from a neuroscience perspective.
HOW IT ALL STARTED
MY OWN HEALING JOURNEY
As I was learning, I was introduced to many science-based approaches with different perspectives. That was riveting to me so I started researching scholarly articles on some of these theories and how they proved to help people. This was also humorous. I never thought in a million years that I would be interested in research.
I was so NOT a school person at all. In fact, I was this cool down to earth hip chic from NYC with a rock n roll flare, creative and highly intuitive being that wanted to be a mom. The last thing you would catch me doing was research. Something changed in me, my kids were getting older and it was time to create more meaning outside my family world. I became passionate and goal driven and I wanted to continue to learn more about the mind. It fascinated me way more than anything else because it had substance, something I felt the need for more of.
After researching, I began learning other ways to heal the mind, by taking lots of different trainings including holistic ones. I came across Polyvagal theory and bodyfullness trainings that for me, encapsulated what we think with what we feel and experienced in the past and where we hold memories in our body. That is when it all connected for me. It was this AHA moment, that moment of clarity. I was able to tie it all together, body, mind, and heart. It was then that I realized that this is what I want to do. This is what I am passionate about and this is my purpose.
