The Messed Up Counsellor

Episode 67:  Letters to help connect to your younger self, when we go through trauma when we are younger sometimes to emotionally
protect ourselves, we can split from the actual trauma
physically being experienced. The process discussed today will
help to heal and reconnect those parts of us.

Episode 66: Time to find yourself again, when detaching from a relationship you need time to reconnect with the parts of you that have been in hibernation.

Self destruct behaviour and the drives to make your world secure. Why do we put our relationships under pressure seemingly destroying them and making the very thing we fear become a reality.

Living with conflict and keeping yourself emotionally safe: why do we live with conflict what does it give us.
