Belonging to Yourself: Staying in Connection without Losing Yourself

I've always been drawn to relationships -- with myself, with other people, with animals, and nature, and with the spiritual realm.

This is why I became a therapist to begin with (although I hid parts of myself -- such as my intuitive side that weren't really allowed) -- which is why I also left psychology.

And, I saw how certain kinds of relationships encouraged people to honor their wholeness, face their fears, and brought out the best in them.

In fact, I trained in a theory called Relational-Cultural Theory at the Stone Center at Wellesley College focused on how beneficial relationships assist people in becoming more purposeful, confident, tursting, and capable of finding more relationships like the one that's uplifting. I loved this!

But, over time, I found that in focusing on other people, I had left myself behind.

As an Empath, being in connection has often been a balancing act between having my own needs and wanting to be there for others.

Questions arose for me, such as:

• How do I stay in contact with my true self while being in connection with others?

• How do I set boundaries while honoring my wish to be kind?

• How do I be present with others without losing myself?

And, these are questions I hear from many people I work with.

If you're a sensitive, kind, and intuitive person, maybe you can relate. ;)

I used to think that setting boundaries felt unkind.

And, I still work with myself on this!

But here's the thing: when you're intuitive and sensitive, these questions aren't often answered communication with others.

Or even actions at first.

The first answer begins through intention.

Then, through energy.

Yes, energy! ✨

By creating energetic boundaries, by clearing our own space, it's easier to connect.

Not perfect, but easier.

And, if you'd like to experience this, I welcome you to experience the guided visualization on my homepage.

It's energetic hygiene for knowing yourself and your boundaries on a psychic level.

And, it's simple yet powerful! 🌟

What it does is:

• Helps you to feel more grounded

• Opens you up to your senses

• Increases your trust in your soul's path

• Creates a relationship with your intuition.

Then you can more easily bring the full magnificence of who you are to any interaction!

And if you'd like a session customized to you, I encourage you to reach out for a complimentary 20-minute Illumination Session. ✨

And, I'm looking forward to meeting you! 🦋
