I have experienced many painful losses over the years including my grandfather one Christmas morning; moving abroad at an early age and moving back three years later; my beloved childhood rescue dog who was like a soul mate; three close relatives within a few months of each other; my grandmother to Dementia and more recently, my mother in law to Alzheimer’s; the loss of another beloved pet; loss of my business as it was and as so many of us are experiencing during the pandemic the loss of contact with loved ones and friends, freedom, normality, job or finances.
I was exceptionally good at suppressing my grief and loss as I was always been strong for others and putting a brave face on masking how I was feeling. Unfortunately, I found that it was not doing me any good mentally – sadness, overwhelm, anxiety and comfort eating; or physically – tension and aches and pains in my body, disturbed sleep, I realised I was not feeling as happy or joyful as I could be and set out on my own journey to heal which led me to Coaching and Emotional Freedom Technique and Matrix Reimprinting. I have experienced just how powerful these therapies can be.
