End of year reflections from a Mental Health Social Worker (coming to you one week into the new year 😉)
As 2025 has come to an end, I've taken time to reflect upon the start of Attuned Mind in August 2025, and the amazing journey that has followed.
I feel deeply honoured to have met and supported some of the most courageous and resilient individuals — people who have experienced so much, and continue to show incredible strength.
2025 was a year of growth in my sense of self as a psychotherapist, finding my way in private practice and learning to trust my voice, values, and clinical intuition.
I’ve been leaning into Self-leadership — getting to know my protective parts, and helping them to let go of the fear of 'being seen' and gently embracing reels, visibility, and showing up authentically online.
I remain in awe of witnessing the reflections, healing, and integration of trauma and stress through EMDR — and the powerful shifts that occur when the nervous system feels safe enough to process and intergrate.
I am just so grateful for the growth, the learning, and the privilege of walking alongside others on their healing journey.
