As an Attachment-Focused Psychotherapist, I teach and promote a model of Self-Directed Healing, which translates into a model of self-empowerment. We’re strengthening your ability to advocate for yourself. As Selfhealers, we take a holistic approach. This means we advocate for your mental health, your personal growth, and your overall well-being. It means you are in the driver seat of your own care.

On my videos, I like to talk about and explore Healing Attachment Trauma, Relationship Repair, Inner Child Self-Re-Parenting, Codependency, Love Addiction, Grieving Break Ups, Family Programming, Love Yourself, Fantasy Relationships, Trauma Bonding, and CPTSD Breakthroughs.

Heal Your Relationships = #attachmenttrauma
Trust Your Intuition = #selfhealers
Repair w/ Reparenting = #innerchild

In this video I talk about emotional, covert rejection of a child's feelings. Ignoring a child's emotional experience produces the same experience of being on the receiving end of gaslighting. We mostly hear about gaslighting in context of relationship abuse as a result of manipulation and the byproduct of a loved one or family member who exhibits some form of a personality disorder such as narcissistic personality disorder.

Emotional gaslighting does not need to include malevolent intent as manipulation, but can be the result of an unaware parent who unconsciously is invested in ignoring feelings - both his or her own as well as the child's feelings.

The end result is a struggle to join in a shared reality of congruent attunement. Children who grow up in this type of dynamic will struggle to engage in emotional honesty as adults.
