Therapist Reacts to Inside Out 2 - Parts work therapy - This was mind blowing!

As an Australian based counsellor who uses Internal Family Systems, I really enjoyed watching Inside Out 2. In this video I dive into a little bit about how Inside Out 2 relates to parts work therapy, and share one of my favourite goosebump moments.

I'm the biggest INFJ hypocrite! Don't do what I did!

I'm the biggest INFJ hypocrite!

Please don't do what I did.

It's the whole "Do what I say, not what I do."

The past few months have been absolutely wild for me, and I WISH I had listened to my own INFJ advice...

Instead, I ended up experiencing the biggest INFJ burnout and crash that I have ever experienced (in the recent years). In this video I share ALL with you, about what's really been going on for me, as an INFJ therapist.

The Power of Sharing Your Story

As an online counsellor for introverts, INFJ’s, empaths and Highly Sensitive People- I believe that there is power in telling your story.

You are someone who does A LOT of thinking. You process and think, and you keep it all locked up inside of you.

But did you know you’re an external feeler? Which means, to finally have some clarification, you need to speak it out. 

To understand your feelings- you need to be able to share them. 

If you’re an introvert wanting to make a positive impact on the world- it’s important that you have a safe space to work on your feelings, heal your wounds, vent about what’s happening, and remove blocks so that you can finally move forward.

It’s time to shine your beautiful light that the world so desperately needs!

With my online counselling services I am able to provide this safe space for you.

I am able to empower you to step into your life’s purpose, find healing, live in the now and dream for the future.

Counselling Services to heal from Religious and Church Trauma

Discovering Freedom and Renewed Purpose After Religious and Church Trauma

Leaving the Church can be daunting, especially when it has been a significant part of your life. I specialise in supporting those who have experienced Religious and Church trauma, including individuals from the Pentecostal church.

As a compassionate counsellor with lived experience, I provide a safe space for Gentle Souls on a journey of self-discovery after leaving their Church and questioning their beliefs.

I get what it’s like to lose everything you know. Your church “family” and community. It can be a lonely experience. And unless you’ve been in the Church, it can be difficult for people to understand the “church culture”. That’s why it’s important that you find a counsellor who completely gets it.

Together, we'll navigate the challenges, understand the impact of religious trauma, and develop coping strategies. I aim to empower individuals to rebuild their lives, establish a new foundation based on their own beliefs and values, and find healing.

If you're seeking guidance in overcoming Religious and Church trauma, I'm here to help. Reach out to schedule a session or learn more about my support.

Benefits of Counselling for Religious and Church Trauma

Have a safe space to process and grieve your experience of being in the Church, and leaving the Church.

- Walk through the steps of deconstructing your faith and rediscovering what spirituality means for you.

- Know that you are heard, understood and safe to express yourself in the way that you need to.

- Feel all the feelings that you were never able to express. Anger, guilt, shame. They are all accepted and valid here.

- Learn healthy boundaries and better coping strategies.
