Coming Home to Yourself: When Talk Isn’t Enough
When talking isn’t enough, healing can begin by listening to your whole self—body, mind, and the parts of you that have been carrying too much for too long.
For many people living with anxiety, overwhelm, or the lingering effects of trauma, talk therapy is a helpful starting point… but it’s not always the whole story. If you’ve tried speaking about what’s going on and still feel stuck, it might be because some of your pain lives deeper than words can reach.
You might notice it as:
A constant tightness in your chest
A racing mind that just won’t quiet down
A harsh, relentless inner critic that drains your energy
A sense of floating through life, disconnected from your own feelings, choices or body
These experiences aren’t just in your head—they’re in your nervous system, in your muscles, in the way your body has learned to survive. And healing can begin when we learn to listen to those parts of us too.
Listening to All of You
In the kind of therapy I offer, we go gently, at your pace, and we include your whole self—body, mind, emotions, and even those hidden parts of you that have been carrying too much for too long.
Together, we might:
Tune in to how emotions show up in your body
Use grounding and creative practices to help you feel more settled
Explore different “parts” of you—like the one who tries to hold everything together, the one who panics, or the one who’s always bracing for rejection
Give space and compassion to parts that were never heard or cared for
These approaches can be deeply healing—especially if you’ve lived through difficult or overwhelming experiences, or have learned to disconnect from yourself as a way to cope.
You Don't Have to Be Fixed—You Just Need Space to Be
This work isn’t about fixing you. It’s about creating a space where all of you is welcome. Where your nervous system can breathe. Where your feelings have room to move. Where you can get to know yourself more kindly, more fully.
Sometimes, art or image-making helps express what words can’t. Sometimes, we sit in stillness. Sometimes, we talk. But always, we work together to gently reconnect the parts of you that may have been exiled, shamed, or silenced.
