It’s been a while, so I thought I’d show up again and reintroduce myself!!!

I’m Rashmi, a counselling psychologist and trauma-informed therapist. And just like many of you, I’ve been navigating life, rest, change, and uncertainty.

Over the last few months, life happened. I slowed down. I stepped back.
And honestly, I needed it.

I’ve always believed we don’t always have to be in a race. Sometimes the most important decision is to pause, breathe, and trust the timing of our own life.

During this break, I explored things that make me feel alive such as books, travel, learning, new interests, and few moments with myself.

Sometimes growth looks like stillness, patience, and becoming gentle with ourselves.

So, if you’re also in a season of slowing down, figuring things out, or simply existing, you’re not behind.

You’re right where you’re meant to be!

If you are reading this, Thank you for being here!

❌ “Men don’t feel pain.”
✅ “Men feel pain too.” 💙

For generations, men have been told to “be strong” and “don’t cry.” But bottling emotions doesn’t make you strong — it makes you suffer in silence.

👉 Real strength is allowing yourself to feel.
👉 Crying is not weakness, it’s healing.

It’s time we change the narrative.
If you agree, share this with someone who needs to hear it.

The silent treatment you give isn’t about ego — you’re protecting yourself the only way you know how."

When you’ve been hurt, dismissed, or made to feel unsafe, withdrawing isn’t always about punishing someone — it’s a survival strategy.

For many who grew up with criticism, neglect, or emotional unpredictability, staying silent can feel like the safest option.

It’s your nervous system saying: "Let’s keep the peace by avoiding conflict."

But here’s the thing — while silence may protect you in the moment, it can also create distance, misunderstandings, and emotional walls in relationships.

Healing means learning new ways to communicate your needs without feeling unsafe.

If you notice yourself shutting down when you’re upset:
💡 Pause and ask, "What am I protecting myself from right now?"
💡 Notice where you feel the tension in your body.
💡 Practice small, safe steps of expression with people who respect your boundaries.

You don’t have to change your coping overnight — but you can learn to feel safe enough to speak without fear.

📌 Struggling with communication, emotional shutdown, or relationship patterns?

I help individuals heal from the root using trauma-informed therapy — so you can stop surviving and start truly connecting.

Trauma trains your body to survive… but healing teaches your body to finally rest.

Your nervous system has been your faithful guardian, keeping you alive through the unthinkable. It taught your muscles to stay tense, ready to fight or flee. It taught your mind to scan for danger, even in safe spaces. It taught your heart to beat fast, preparing for the next threat.

But your body was never meant to live in permanent survival mode. 💔

That chronic tension in your shoulders? Your body holds the weight of hypervigilance. Those sleepless nights? Your nervous system is afraid to let its guard down. That exhaustion that rest can't fix? The cost of being "on" for so long.

Here's what trauma recovery really looks like: teaching your nervous system that it's safe to exhale. Showing your muscles they can finally soften. Convincing your mind that not every sound is a threat, not every silence is dangerous.

Healing isn't just about processing memories – it's about rewiring your entire system from survival back to safety. It's about moving from chronic stress to regulated calm. From fight-or-flight to rest-and-digest.

Your body carried you through the storm. Now it's time to teach it how to feel the sunshine. ☀️

Recovery is possible. Regulation is possible. Rest – real, deep, peaceful rest – is possible. Your nervous system can learn to trust again. 🌱

Your body has been fighting for you long enough. It's time to give it the peace it deserves.

❗️Book a session with me and learn evidence-based techniques to regulate your nervous system and reclaim your sense of safety.

That burning anger you feel toward your parents? Sometimes it's not really anger at all.

💔It's grief. Deep, aching grief for the childhood that was stolen from you. Grief for the little person who deserved unconditional love but got conditions instead. Grief for the safety you should have felt but never did.

You're mourning the bedtime stories that never came, the scraped knees that weren't kissed better, the achievements that went uncelebrated. You're grieving the parent you needed but never had – the one who should have seen you, heard you, protected you.

This grief is valid. That little child inside you is still waiting for someone to acknowledge what they lost. They're waiting for someone to say: "You deserved so much better." 🤗

When we can name this grief for what it is, something beautiful happens. The anger begins to soften. Not because we excuse what happened, but because we finally honor what we lost. We give ourselves permission to mourn the childhood we never got to live.

Your anger is actually love in disguise – love for the innocent child who deserved the world but got so much less. Feel it all. Grieve it all. Heal it all. 🌱

You can't change your past, but you can parent that inner child with the love they always deserved. Start today. ✨

You can't change what happened to you, but you can change what happens next. Ready to break the cycle and heal generational trauma?

❗️ Book your therapy session today and start giving yourself what you always needed.

The invisible threads of childhood trauma don't just fade with time – they weave themselves into the very fabric of who we become.

🧠Your brain, in its incredible wisdom, created survival patterns that once kept you safe. But those same patterns might be showing up in your adult relationships today – in the way you attach, communicate, or trust.

The hypervigilance that protected you then might feel like anxiety now. The emotional walls that shielded your heart might feel like distance in your closest relationships. The people-pleasing that kept peace at home might leave you feeling invisible in your own life.

But here's the beautiful truth: awareness is the first step toward healing. When we understand how our past shaped our present, we can begin to consciously choose our future. 💫

Your story doesn't end with your childhood. You have the power to rewrite the narrative, one mindful choice at a time. 🌱
📌 You deserve relationships that feel safe, connected, and authentic. If you're ready to heal the roots – not just treat the symptoms – I'm here to support you.

Reminder: A healthy relationship is never one-sided.
If you’re the only one putting in the effort, it’s not love — it’s emotional exhaustion.
Mutual respect, communication, and effort are non-negotiable for a lasting connection.

Stop carrying it all alone — a real bond is built by two people, not one.

When you've spent years shrinking yourself, staying quiet, and giving more than you have—just to feel safe or loved—it’s easy to forget that your needs are not “too much.”

You may find yourself apologizing for feeling sad.
Or convincing yourself it’s easier to keep the peace than to speak up.
You may even tell yourself: “If I say how I really feel, they’ll leave.”

But here’s the truth:
You were never too much.
You were just in spaces that didn’t know how to hold you.

Healing begins when you stop abandoning yourself to keep others comfortable.

🧠 Your needs are valid.
🫶 You deserve to be heard.
💬 You are not a burden.

✨ Let’s check in...
Have you ever held back your feelings because you were scared they’d be “too much”?

You’re not alone—and your voice deserves space. 💬

Ever wondered why your body feels tense even when you're safe?

Trauma isn’t just in your mind — it's stored in your body.
From chronic muscle tightness to unexplained anxiety, your nervous system may still be stuck in survival mode.

💡 You might experience:
— Tension in your jaw, shoulders, or hips
— Feeling disconnected from your body
— Startling easily or struggling to sleep
— A sense of danger when nothing’s wrong

These are signs that your body is remembering what your mind has forgotten.

🌱 Healing starts when we learn to listen to the body.
Through trauma-informed therapy, we gently help your body feel safe again.

Trauma-informed relationships look different

When we've experienced trauma, our bodies remember what our minds sometimes forget. That hypervigilance when your partner seems distant? The way you shut down during conflict? The overwhelming fear of abandonment? These aren't weaknesses—they're survival mechanisms that once kept you safe.

Here's what trauma-informed love looks like:

➡️Creating safety through consistent, predictable actions
➡️Communicating about triggers without judgment
➡️Understanding that healing isn't linear
➡️Practicing patience with yourself and your partner
➡️Recognizing that love can feel scary when you've been hurt before

Remember: You don't have to be "fully healed" to be worthy of love. Healing often happens within the context of safe, supportive relationships.

Your trauma story is part of you, but it doesn't define your capacity to love and be loved. 💚

What's one way you've learned to communicate your needs in relationships?

Share in the comments—your experience might help someone else feel less alone.

If you’ve always been the “strong one,” this post is for you.
Sometimes, what we call independence is actually a trauma response in disguise—built on fear, not freedom.

💬 Do you find it hard to ask for help, feel guilty when you rest, or say “I’m fine” even when you’re overwhelmed?
That’s not weakness—it’s survival mode.
And it makes sense, especially if you grew up having to rely only on yourself.

But healing is possible.
You don’t have to carry it all alone anymore.
Therapy helps you unlearn those protective patterns and build new, safer ways of relating to yourself and others.
