How We Work

Your journey will be filled with the unexpected.  It is time to redefine your expectations because the path to transformation is not always easy.  Through our work together you will learn to embrace the uncertainty, and trust that you have the power to dismantle the barriers getting in your way.

As people we often label our experiences as good or bad. Life is a rollercoaster that we have to ride and sometimes it is not the ride on which we want to be. Nonetheless, out of those challenges comes something powerful. Therefore, during our work together we learn to identify your struggles and sensations, and observe them with curiosity rather than judgement. Allowing whatever thoughts, feelings or sensations to come up without trying to change them.

Our goal isn’t to spend time on your past in the traditional way. You will not be explicitly reciting your narrative and rehashing out old experiences. We will be working together to release your past in an implicit manner, through body sensations and by activating deeper parts of the brain.

No amount of work we do together will erase your memories. Your past is your past, and there is no changing that. However, through the strategies we use you will be able to think about your past without being overwhelmed by it. You will be able to use your past to  heal your pain, develop lasting relationships and connections, and become the greatest version of yourself.

No more hiding. You will begin to see who you really are and appreciate all the qualities that person possesses. Together we will slowly peel back the layers, so that your true self becomes more and more clear. We accomplish this by revealing and acknoweldging the different parts of yourself that have aimed to protect you in a variety of ways.  Additionally, we will spend time accessing the intricate brain pathways that hold your most authentic self. Behind the guilt, shame, and pain lives a strong, resilient, successful individual who deserves to be seen and heard.

Over time you may have noticed that many of the relationships in your life have eroded or become toxic, and that includes the relationship you have with yourself. You may have pushed people away, or placed blame on yourself for your life struggles. Ultimately, those reactions only enforce the limiting beliefs you have about yourself and your current situation. It is time to repair those relationships. Connection is crucial in the healing process. As humans we are wired for it, and when we isolate or place blame on ourselves or others, it wreaks havoc on our mental health, performance, and overall well being. We will work together to help you feel confident and find clarity to build relationships that are strong and healthy, including the one with yourself.

You are not broken. The pain you are experiencing does not define you, and it is possible to recover from it.  There is the pain of not being good enough, the pain of a loss, the overwhelming pain of trauma, and the emotional pain that has turned physical due to concealing your true self. As you confront the discomfort and allow your brain and body to heal, you will start to recover from the pain, however that looks or feels to you.

This may sound daunting, but it is a stage that will become more apparent throughout our work together. Mindful Reflections can’t possibly know what that looks like for you, but you will, and you will feel confident in whatever choices you make in your life. While rebuilding your life is the final pillar at Mindful Reflections, it is not where the journey ends. It is a process and you will continue to create the life you want even after our work together is finished. It’s about your dream, your passion, and your life, not anyone else’s. Let’s help you get there!
