T R A U M A || I heal as I learn, I learn as I heal.

I’m excited to complete my micro-credential in Trauma and Crisis though - The South African College of Applied Psychology.

It’s been a ride. Given me some really meaty stuff to work through. It’s inspired me and destabilized me a bit too - more work to be done on a personal level, which is quite humbling.

Sometimes I feel like I’m failing when I still get that feeling of a hand squeezing my heart - when something I read or remember takes me back to a time when I didn’t have the tools or knowledge or support to process what had happened to me.

Do you ever get that?

I watch that thought and the feelings and the mind chatter as they arise, and I make space for them. They make sense. I went through something brutal and life-threatening at a young age. It took me years before I would even acknowledge how bad it was. Once I’ve regulated my racing heart and shaking hands, I remind myself that there may be work to do for the rest of my life.

That’s okay.

Life. Such a crazy trip.

I’m here for all of it.

Reach out if you need support personally or if you’d like to find out more about how to make your organisation more trauma-informed.

With love

A L L O F Y O U || Pride Month reminds us that belonging is not simply being invited into a space.

It is feeling safe enough to arrive as your full self.

This month I'll be exploring mindfulness, inclusion, psychological safety and kindness — one breath at a time.

I M A G I N E || It was just a flight of fancy while I watched the making landfall earlier.

I wish the rain could wash away all the pain and suffering in the world.

I wish I could make sure there is a warm, safe, dry space for all sentient beings to sit out an inner or outer storm.

I wish a green flash could momentarily blind us all and reset our brains so we can see there is a way to coexist peacefully.

I wish I was a little bit taller, I wish I was a baller (sorry, it just popped into my head and I didn’t want to leave you on a heavy note as your weekend kicks off.

Just imagine, though.

Stay warm
