Then I began searching.
For myself.
For a sense of connection, within and with the world around me.
Along the way, I was deeply shaped by a three-year training in Hakomi® Therapy and by an intensive year, being trained in Compassionate Inquiry®, developed by Dr. Gabor Maté.
There, I learned to listen to lived experience.
Not only to the stories we tell about ourselves, but also to what the body remembers.
To what could not be expressed for a long time. To what had to be protected in order to survive.
Today, this is how I accompany others:
with mindfulness, curiosity, inquiry, and acceptance.
To me, healing is not a destination.
It is more of a movement.
Often so subtle that we only recognize it later:
a brief moment.
A quiet sense of wonder.
“Oh. Look at that.”
And something that stays.
