“I'm deeply grateful that you chose me to walk with you in your healing journey.”

I may have stopped taking clients this year, and still working things out if I can next year, yet my clients will always be in my prayers, in my thoughts, and the MAIN reason why I strive to be better in what I do. Learning more approaches to help the population that I’m serving, and regularly training to enhance my specialization in trauma.

To better serve, train yourself to be better. It takes more than empathy and skill to serve the traumatized. If your heart is not in it, you will not see growth to it.

As the 2025 comes to an end, I will also be ending many things, changing habits, and distancing myself to people that are no longer in line with my purpose, values, and goals.

This year I had so many challenges, heartaches, and discoveries. Also growth, reflections, and spiritual breakthroughs.

This coming 2026, I will be more intentional with whom I surround myself and deal with. And will no longer tolerate BS and mediocrity. Protecting my peace against those who only want self gain and an easy way.

My mantra for 2026 will be INTENTIONS.

If you keep on comparing yourself to others who was raised and has a healthy family or childhood.

Who excelled at school since their elementary days until adulthood because they have a supportive parents or environment.

Who never experienced hunger, violence, abuse, being neglected, rejected and abandoned by their care givers.

Who wasn’t raised in a household that has an adult that was a substance abuser or suffering from a mental disorder.

Who did not experience a divided house or their parents separated and constantly fighting each other.

And maybe right now you think that they have everything that you wished you also have, but struggling in maintaining a relationship, a career or keeping that peace in your mind.

I understand the pain, the anger, the sadness, the envy, and the 'why me?'

As my mentors have said, trauma is the great equalizer. This is not to compare or saying who is better, but instead of comparing down, why not heal, be the cycle breaker, and use your pain as a catalyst of change.

Remember those who have been hurt the most and worked on themselves has a lot of reason and fire in them to make a change. Their reasons are rooted in compassion, their why is purpose driven, and their capacity to understand pain are deeper.

You cannot shake easily someone who has been fighting to survive and have thrived. They can handle difficult tasks because their life has been a difficult one, and they have created a life worth telling, worth sharing.

I feel so at peace with myself right now. Maybe because of the years of compounded and continuous healing, perseverance, and trying my best to live as authentically as I could, that I was able to reach this state of mind and life.

The darkest time of my life was over, the shredding and grinding period were done, but it doesn’t mean that I will not be hurt or experience pain anymore. It doesn’t mean that struggles will no longer come in my life, and it doesn’t mean that my past will no longer hunt me. Instead, I became more open to experience LIFE in it’s fullest, the dark and the light. The suffering and the joy.

I will still experience grief, I will still experience pain, being humiliated, betrayed, hurt, sickness, and even rejected. But despite those I accept them not because I tolerate it, but because I understand that the world is not just only about me, it’s not just only about what I want, but every action of everyone is connected to each one of us.

There is beauty in pain when you fully understand it, and have surpassed the body and mind’s reaction to it. It makes you appreciate the challenges that you have overcome. It makes you appreciate your strength, your life, and you honor how you survive.

Even the smallest light can be seen in a world full of darkness.

Building your name and introducing your institute in the field of trauma were done. The seeds are cultivated, now it’s time to plant the seed for it to grow into a tree. Looking for the right place where TIPS can finally blossom into a tree.

Slow and steady progress, beats an overnight success.

Early 2019, I was lost and broken. I quit the corporate world because I was burned out and miserable despite having a good position and salary. I was under appreciated, and felt controlled and micromanaged in everything that I do.

I also failed the board exam twice because I have to prioritize the need of the company than my own. I have to listen to other people's demands than what I want.

Then I decided to quit and pursue my dream to become a Psychologist. I have no stable income for almost a year after I quit. Living off my savings and focused on reviewing for the board exam.

That was the toughest decision that I've made in my life. To leave the world that I know for 15 years to an unknown venture and path.

Fast forward 2025, I'm so grateful to that version of me that despite the uncertainty, anxiety, and fear, she gathered the courage to follow her heart and dream. She left the world that was draining the life out of her hoping for freedom, meaning, fulfillment, and purpose.

The road was not easy, and the fear is real. I still have challenges and setbacks, but the difference between 2019 and now, I don't have to negotiate who I am, I don't have to put someone else first before my needs, and I find a deep sense of fulfillment in what I do because I am walking with my purpose.
