I often had anxiety about what to say in uncomfortable situations, I would mentally spin out trying to prepare for that conversation, or I would be worried about some decision I made in the past. I was stuck in ‘always catching up’ and never getting there. I felt pulled in every direction. I would get sucked into dramas. I would hide my feelings to protect other people’s feelings. I would fall into ‘collapse’ rather than communicate my boundaries to others. I was always pushing to accomplish, but never feeling I was enough, I would beat myself up about it. I always felt I should be somewhere else doing something else, not here now. I was afraid to make mistakes, believing I had to be perfect. I wanted my life to be different. I’d tried diets, therapies, jobs, moving from place to place and couldn’t find my place or purpose.

After doing Subtle-Body work I started noticing more ease and spaciousness in my life. Family holidays weren’t as triggering or exhausting. Day to day I can enjoy being in the present moment. I generally feel calm and when I feel anxiety it doesn’t last for days, or even hours. I stay connected to my body. I can have a misunderstanding with my partner and have space for my feelings and theirs. I can make requests, and be at ease even if I don’t get the response I want. I have more patience with my child and space for them to express their feelings. I can set boundaries and stay calm. I get to learn and grow through my mistakes. I feel resourced knowing I have skills to face my challenges. I feel gratitude for my life as it is now. I get to explore who I really am and see my life transform along the way!
