Reclaim

For the aftermath of emotional abuse.

Walking on eggshells long after it ended

Replaying conversations. Not trusting your own read on things. Shrinking a little in rooms where nobody is actually doing anything wrong.

Emotional abuse leaves the nervous system on watch long after the relationship is over. The self doubt, the guilt, the pull back towards the person. These are not character flaws. They are a body that learned to survive.

What the 90 minutes is

We start with what is going on for you.

Then we work at the level of the nervous system. Gentle bilateral work to take the charge out of what happened, parts work to meet the part of you that learned to stay small to keep the peace, and breath and somatic release to bring your sense of self back into the body.

The aim is post traumatic growth: coming out the other side with more of yourself than you went in with.

Good to know

Nothing is shared. These sessions sit alongside counselling, support services or a legal process, and I will point you onward if something needs more than one room can hold.

Where and when

The Hare and the Moon, Twickenham Green. Tuesdays, 10am to 1.30pm, one to one in a private room. Online sessions are available too, just ask.

Afterwards

The Returning Circle runs from 2 to 3pm the same day. It is donation only, you do not need to have been to anything before, and it is recorded so you can have it afterwards.
