Who feels the stab to our heart of rejection?

Who hears the voice in our head yelling we’re not good enough?

Who questions who we are?

Who???

Who’s aware of all that?

We are.

We are what’s aware of our trauma.

We are not our trauma.

We are not what we sense.

We are not what we feel.

We are not what we think.

We are not our sensations, feelings or thoughts.

We are what’s aware of all of them.

We are not our trauma.

Trauma may feel like it consumes us, but trauma actually conceals us.

Underneath that veil is us.

Trauma free.

We are trauma free until that veil descends again.

But we can never un-see the trauma-free us that we’ve seen.

Want to see that trauma-free you more?

The dull ache of inadequacy is not feeling enough.

Trying to change a feeling is as pointless as trying to stop a wave.

But not feeling enough is actually believing we are not enough.

And busting a belief happens when we see it's not true.

So let's keep looking our beliefs.

People used to think that adoptees came as a blank slate.

Some people still think that.

Others don’t think that.

What do they think is written on the slate?

Trauma.

What’s it written in?

Chalk perhaps.

On one level…

The trauma, the word written on the slate, is inseparable from the slate.

On another level…

Trauma sits on top the slate, hiding what’s underneath it.

Trauma is the chalk.

We are the slate.

A Free Webinar & Recording For Adoptive Parents

14/10/2024

Two words I heard on a podcast today knocked me down.

Primal Stillness.

Wow!

Ten minutes later I was back on my feet after seeing something very, very clearly.

Beneath the primal wound IS primal stillness.

Imagine a solar system of our feelings.

Insecurity is Earth.
Shame is Saturn.
Rejected in Pluto.
Less than is Uranus.
Rejected is Venus.
Angry is Mars.
Fear is Neptune.
Jumpy is Mercury.

We are space for those feelings.

We are space not the feelings.

Still.

Silent.

Open.

Peaceful.

Noiseless.

Tranquil.

We are Primal Stillness.

Trauma may be part of our journey, but it’s not our destination.

10/10/2024

Although trauma feels like it consumes us, what it really does is conceals us. Our essence is hidden, not harmed. Buried not broken.

Empowering your child to happiness

I work with parents who want to empower their child to happiness.

They learn how boost their confidence to make their dreams come true, strengthen their self-belief so they can ignore nay-sayers and raise their resilience so they can bounce back from setbacks.

It’s about mindset AND taking action. Positivity alone isn’t enough. We empower kids to keep moving forward, honing the skills they need to do what they want to do in life.

EQ (Emotional intelligence) is much more important than IQ in determining success. So we help kids understand and manage their feelings so they’re more likely to succeed and get along with others who will help them.
