Your body doesn’t heal in urgency.
It heals when it feels safe.

Stillness isn’t doing nothing... it’s giving your nervous system the conditions it needs to repair, rebalance, and restore.

Big feelings don’t need bigger consequences — they need a regulated adult.

Children borrow our nervous system before they can manage their own. When we stay steady, we give their brain a pathway back to calm. That doesn’t mean being perfectly calm all the time — it means being aware, repairing when needed, and modelling regulation in real life.

If you’ve ever wondered why your child escalates when you feel stressed, this is why. Nervous systems talk to each other far louder than words.

This visual is a reminder that co-regulation is not a “soft” approach — it’s brain-based support that builds lifelong emotional skills.

MANAGING BIG FEELINGS TOOLKIT

If you want step-by-step guidance on supporting emotional regulation, meltdowns, and overwhelm, the Managing Big Feelings Toolkit gives you practical scripts, regulation strategies, and printable supports you can use straight away.

HASHTAGS

Upon waking today I had a song on my heart, a worship song, it played on repeat, along with a vision of a dress to wear to church.
A dress I was gifted but not yet worn.
On these days upon waking when workshop songs are loud, it often means his presence will be felt and seen.
He first showed me himself in the cafe attendant - when she asked me what I was doing this morning? We had a conversation about church.
He next showed himself in my peripheral vision, where I could hear two perfect strangers connecting over him. About his return.
He then showed himself in the elderly couple who approached me and told me "your dress is pretty".
Next - he was the man on the beach, a matter of metres in front of me, alcoholic beverage in hand at 8am, wandering slowly up the beach.
He was then the paddle boarders.
A morning spent being reminded by him, that he is everyone.
He is me when I nominate myself to run a group at church for which I have no idea how to do, but he does.
He is the celebrities on "I'm a celebrity get me out of here" when they ask "who's the most famous person you've ver met?" They say "so and so" I hear him "Jesus" and imagine if the collective as a whole looked to him - in the supernatural instead of "the most famous" humans, who by their very nature as humans, will do wrong, will hurt, will fall, and then we're shocked and horrified.
In these times where we're being shown the humanness of the many false idols and gurus of this fallen world - I felt called to speak to
Romans 3:23
For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God.”
Ecclesiastes 7:20
Indeed, there is no one on earth who is righteous, no one who does what is right and never sins.”
1 John 1:8
If we claim to be without sin, we deceive ourselves and the truth is not in us.”
Jeremiah 17:5
Cursed is the one who trusts in man, who draws strength from mere flesh and whose heart turns away from the Lord.”

Be mindful of what you're consuming, who you're looking to and placing perhaps on a pedestal. This world is inherently fallen, as humans we are inherently sinners. To judge others, being shocked at the false idols and gurus all around the world we've invested time connection and money into, the shame, the embarrassment we feel, why, because we're human. As far as who to look to - There is no one like our Lord.

"A Letter to my Youth" a great example of how childhood trauma can show up anytime. A Letter to My Youth

A rebellious teen and a reserved caretaker form an unlikely bond in an orphanage as they come to terms with their painful pasts.

A quiet practice I’ve been working with lately:
remembering — and reminding others — that emotions don’t disqualify us from participation.

We can feel sadness, anger, resistance…
and still stay present, connected, moving.

When this lands in the body, there’s space.
And that space is regulating and empowering
Gold.

Current feels - the more I am in connection with Jesus, the more I see miracles in my everyday. Think the kinds of miracles that see decades long "wishes" now spoken as "prayers" come true and when they come true, you know it's because of the supernatural power of Jesus, it is beyond the human capacity 🙏🤍

Lately I’ve been hearing of more people turning to ChatGPT instead of sitting with a counsellor.

And I get it.
It’s fast.
It’s available at 2am.
It doesn’t see your face tighten or your breath shorten.
It doesn’t cost money.

ChatGPT can organise your thoughts.
It can reflect language back to you.
It can help you think about your experience.

What it can’t do is be with you.

It can’t feel the moment your nervous system drops into shutdown.
It can’t notice when you’re intellectualising instead of grieving.
It can’t gently interrupt a story you’ve been telling to survive.
It can’t co-regulate with you when your body is holding something older than words.

Healing doesn’t happen because the right sentence is said between you and AI.

It happens because something felt meets something safe, in relationship with a human.

Counselling isn’t about advice.
It’s about relationship.
Presence.
Attunement.
The slow, sometimes uncomfortable work of letting another human witness what you learned to carry alone.

Use tools. Reflect. Journal. Explore.
And — if you’re ready — let yourself be met.

Because no algorithm can sit across from you and say, without words:
“I’m here. I can feel this with you. You don’t have to hold it by yourself anymore.”
