Somatic and Holistic Therapist. Time to reconnect to you 🖤

28/11/2025

If you’ve ever loved someone with addiction, you already know this vibe!

Trying to hold everyone and everything together… powered purely by anxiety, caffeine and blind hope

We turn into
☕️ Barista level coffee drinkers
🕵️‍♂️ Unpaid investigators
🔥 Chaos managers
🆘 Emergency responders
💛 And still the caretakers of everyone else’s emotions

But here’s the truth
↪️ none of that actually create safety, for them or for you!

What does help?
Learning to regulate your nervous system so that you’re not constantly bracing for impact, so that you’re not constantly on high alert looking for all the things that could possibly go wrong.

If you’re tired of being the chaos manager, DM SUPPORT
There’s a calmer, more grounded and present way through this 💛

Take care,

There’s a lot of denial in the addiction space and I don’t just mean the person struggling with addiction.

I mean US, the loved ones.

Denial about whether it’s actually a problem.
Denial about how big the problem really is.
Denial about how we’re coping.
Denial about whether we should get support.
Denial about the chaos becoming the new normal.

We start gaslighting ourselves without even realising it.

“should I say something?”
“maybe it’s not that bad…”
“am I overreacting?”
“maybe they’re fine”
“maybe I’m the problem”

And before you know it, you’re stuck in this long loop where you feel like you’re losing your mind because you can see the truth, you just don’t want to admit it.

No one wants to believe their love when struggling this deeply.
No one wants to believe addiction is impacting their home.
No one wants to face the fear that things might be getting worse.

That was me.
And honestly?
Sometimes being in denial did feel easier… Until it wasn’t.

Here’s the thing I wish someone had told me:
🍃 if you’re already wondering is this a problem, it’s a problem
your body knows the truth long before your mind is willing to admit it.

And you don’t have to figure out the next steps alone.

If you’re in this space of confusion, fear, denial or second-guessing, I can help you find clarity, grounding and way forward that doesn’t rely on chaos or survival mode

So episode two dropped tonight and I completely forgot to watch it live 😳😫

But it’s all good because it airs again Friday and is also on YouTube!!
(I’ll share the link in the comments)

If someone had told me that one day I would be on TV speaking about addiction I would’ve thought they were crazy!
But here we are!!

The darkness, the loneliness and the despair that we can feel when we love someone in addiction, feels like a black hole that we will never find our way out of but I’m here to tell you, that we can and that we do.

I did it, I’ve helped countless other people do it and I know that you can do it too.
You are already doing the hardest most unimaginable things every day, maybe it’s time to start backing yourself xx

Sending you big hugs, check it out and let me know what you think 🤔

Take care,

Everyone talks about their loved ones addiction… but no one talks about the addictions we develop just trying to survive it

My addiction was saving people… even when they didn’t want to be saved

My diction was being kind to everyone… except myself

My addiction was fixing everything… so no one else had to feel pain

My addiction was staying strong… even when I was falling apart.

My addiction was pretending I was fine… Because their chaos felt bigger than mine.

I didn’t realise how much these were hurting me until I started healing.

Healing showed me that I met to
That I’m allowed to have needs.
That I don’t have to abandon myself to love someone else

And that’s what I help other people learn to

So if you are ready to step away from your own addictions, to lend you coping mechanisms that are actually healthy and sustainable and support you to be becoming the person that lives not just survives, DM me for details on my life beyond addiction program or book of recall so we can have a chat.

Take care,

💗 Do you feel like you have developed your own addictions that aren’t really supporting you to be the person or to live the life you want to be living?

Instead of I wish you just stop gambling and wasting all our money
Try, I feel worried about how much you’re gambling, do you need some support?

Instead of you care more about drugs than you care about us
Try, I miss you and I miss us having a fun time together

Instead of you are so selfish getting drunk again last night
Try last night felt a bit heavy, how are you feeling today?

It can feel really hard to know how to communicate with our loved one in a calm way because we feel so many different emotions from anger to sadness, from resentment through to grief, from despair through to desperation. And all of these emotions cause chaos in our body and nervous system Leaving us feeling exhausted and like we don’t even know who we are any more.

You might notice that if your loved one has been drinking anger pulsing through your body making your heart beat faster, your head might feel like it’s going to explode and your thoughts are crazy town and trying to communicate calmly from there is impossible.

This is where somatic therapy comes in and allows us to space to meet that anger, to feel it in the body in a supported way, process it so that it doesn’t get pushed down causing more pain and then moving past it to what is actually true which is most likely that you miss your partner, you are scared for what the future holds and you feel really lost and alone

When we communicate from this base of calm and truth what we want to say becomes a lot kinder, creates more connection and allows our loved one to be more vulnerable and open to

This is the space that you get to live in when you join my life beyond addiction program. Being able to understand and process your emotions is an absolute game changer especially in the way that you hold space and navigate supporting your loved one through addiction.

The beautiful thing is true that these changes happen really fast, which is why my program is only five weeks long And in that time you will have amazing growth and development.
