I feel so invigorated and alive. Running does that for me. It’s really warm today and after dropping my son off at school I took a run in the local park. I had my earphones plugged into my ear and I did six laps. That doesn’t amount to more than about 3km as its a…
Indeed challenges never stop and it seems sometimes that every time you reach a place of comfort, the rug is violently tugged right from under your unsuspecting feet! But something from deep within has changed as I realise that this is what I do best; rise to challenges and these emergency situations are what I…
I like that my new counsellor checks in regularly to ask me what I am feeling. That constant bodily awareness, as I recount events from the past helps me immensely. It helps me to reconnect with the body I left behind all those years ago. It is part of diving down and reclaiming me; the…
I have recently started counselling again and the last session churned up so much pain, anger, fear and sadness from the past that I felt at times that I would be consumed by all the ‘difficult to feel’ feelings. At the end of the session, I was left with an image of a woman diving…

Things always get messy, difficult and awkward when I start to open up and get close to people. I know it is related to my past and the wounded child in me because I have witnessed this pattern repeatedly. As soon as I get close to a person, the friendship becomes more difficult to maintain.…
For one beautiful moment I was a butterfly. I was light, carefree and unrestricted, and it felt so good! Is that how it feels? Is that how it feels, to just be in the moment and enjoy others’ company. I forgot in that moment, I forgot that I was abused and that I am hypersensitive, and…
