The Feeling Conscious Method

🤍

🤍 It does not seek to test us nor to bring us harm. It simply invites. Don't run from it, don't hide from it. Don't cope with it, don't fear it - feel it. It has much to offer if we can stay the course. You see, it appears because we need it. It is an overture for us to grow, to confront ourselves, and to heal. Our vice, however - we think we shouldn't have it, the belief that we're flawed, that we should hold it at bay. The fear that if we succumb, then those around us will see us as we truly are, or worse, who we fear ourselves to be. I promise, you have nothing to fear, it is a teacher, that's all. Our depression, our anxiety are not themselves diseases to be treated, they are instead an expression, a signpost of sorts towards a deeper trauma. Unhealed emotion and wounding that will stay so until it receives appropriate care and attention. Surrender and feel it - all of it - and then release it. Coping will gain you nothing but a delay of the inevitable.

The expression of each state and the journey through.

🤍 The Uncomfortable Truth - Denying it will help no one...

🤍 It is what I'm built for. It is my lifeblood. It is what I thrive on. There is no way of bypassing it and nothing that can simulate human connection better than the real thing. This is a belief I hold tight and one I do no compromise on, ever.

A Yale Study in 2023 found that, “...the social systems of the human brain are more active during real live in-person encounters than on Zoom,” said Hirsch, the Elizabeth Mears and House Jameson Professor of Psychiatry, professor of comparative medicine and neuroscience, and senior author of the study. “Zoom appears to be an impoverished social communication system relative to in-person conditions.” (Yale News)

🤍 A relic of another time, a ghost of trauma. A state of retraumatization that was supposed to keep us safe. Its roots intertwined with our own, and before long, completely indistinguishable. Fear. Called upon at a moments notice, tidal in its nature and sweeping in action - we answer to it and it alone. Paralysed and held hostage under the guise of its faithful companions, control, and safety. It can not and will not be reasoned with, believe me when I say I've tried. Heal the unhealed. Then, there is no reason for it to exist. Then, we answer to our voice, and ours alone.

🤍 Depression...

🤍 Healing beckons...

🤍 The Feeling Conscious Method is born of my healing and authenticity. Each state is a place I have called home more than once, leaning into every discomfort in search of who I Am. It is built from my healing to aid you in yours.

Four states are designed to reconnect and align you with who you are. The reasons we become mis-shapen, they are varied - from society's expectation to fit a mould to life-alterning trauma, each is relevant and valid. Each state and their Protagonist were thoughtfully created to unfurl you and your experiences to ultimately bring you back to yourself. You may visit each state just once, take 'back' steps, or get part of the way through and start again seeking more. The method is as unique and individual as you are.

🤍 Graceful release of that which was never really yours...

🤍 Human to human - soul to soul. First and always.

🤍 If it's helping you cope - it's stopping you from healing...

🤍 I wish I could say that I didn't believe it was my fault, I wish I could say that I didn't hide it; I did. Don't look too close, don't look in the detail, look anywhere but there. The shame that somehow this was my life. Bullied, gaslit, abused. The shame that I couldn't fix it, that I didn't know how. The shame wasn't mine it never was. The blame, that wasn't mine either. Release it, heal it. Easier said than done - right?

🤍 If you think you have it under control, you're right, for now. But understand control and healing are not the same thing. One is simply delaying the other, the inevitable. Sooner or later, it must be healed.

🤍 The Feeling Conscious Method : Holding space and honouring you - always.

🤍 Therapy thoughts this week...

🤍 When you call to me - I listen. I listen to every intricate beat of your heart as if it were my own. I feel it, its weight, its pain, who it calls on you to become. It is intuition honed by decades of craft and skill, it is no cheap parlour trick. It is not an opinion or a point to be debated - it is simply not up for discussion. So when I speak - listen.

🤍 I Am the only choice for the job - that is, if you actually want to heal...

🤍 Barely visible, some may say invisible. Trip wires lurk in our subconscious - installed by our trauma. Available and ready at a moments notice, waiting. Waiting for our success, our joy, even snippets of redemption and healing - only to sn**ch them away the instant they become real. You see, we are set up to fail. Our trauma and its cloying grip dictates so. No matter how accomplished, diligent, and successful we are, it is there - with us, unhealed and stubbornly resolute in its ambitions. The game, our game is rigged against us and it will remain so until we heal.
