Making peace with the past will allow you to live in peace in the present moment. How you make peace with the past is by identifying how you define yourself from your past into your present.

Take a few moments to ask yourself the following questions;

1. What is the earliest memory that you can remember from the past in relation to a specific memory. Recall something specific, not merely a feeling.

2. What are the impressions you have of yourself in this memory?

3. What are the impressions you have of each of the people who are associated with your memory?

4. How has this memory contributed to the evolution of your personal history and past behaviours and actions?

5. How might this experience you had back then made an impact in the way you relate to yourself now?

6. How might this experience you had back then impact the way in which you relate to other people today?

Sandalwood Wellness is Kink-informed and SW Friendly/Safe.

What this means is that anyone seeking counselling with Sandalwood Wellness who happens to be part of the kink community will not be subject to stigma, or receive inappropriate reactions or comments if their kink is mentioned in session. It also means that anyone who happens to be a SWer will be safe from stigma, and will not receive judgement.

This is also a good reminder to all that Sandalwood Wellness adheres to the strictest of confidentiality, privacy, discretion, and respect.
