One of the things I’ve developed understanding of as an addiction therapist, is the power of unhappiness to create a negative cycle of eating. People wonder why they’ve started eating more fattening foods and increasing portion sizes, when their life suggests they need smaller ones, when dealing with a period of inactivity, emotional disconnection or…
Travel + Therapy = Wellbeing
Where ever You Go. You Take Yourself With You… Neil Gaiman I’m an experienced professional who has developed and devoted herself to travel, therapy (and family).

Sitting With Discomfort To Help It Dissipate
The longest I think that I’ve sat with discomfort has been five days. It felt horrible – I didn’t understand what it meant. I wasn’t sure at the time what I was going to do with it and the uncertainty didn’t allow me to get rid of it easily. It straddled my insides like a…
