For the most part of my life, I used to ask myself, why me? what’s wrong with me?! from being anxious, fearful, and helpless to depressed, isolated, and very lonely. I was defensive and angry; I couldn’t control my bottled-up emotions, and I didn’t have anyone to support or guide me. Between self-blame and blaming others, I didn’t know how to move on. It was only when a friend told me that I am very hard on myself that I realized that the question should be, Why am I?! ..

Though it took a few years to start my journey and a few failed attempts to heal, I thought if I couldn’t be healed or help myself, I still could for others, which may give meaning to my meaningless existence. little that I knew it was the first step to my own healing and growth. I had to face my own self, take responsibility for it, be accountable to myself, discover hidden parts of me, accept what I didn’t know about myself, and accept that I am still learning to accept myself.

I embarked on a journey of self-discovery and self-mastery. In this journey of healing others, I remember the first time I saw my client’s expression change from sadness and frustration to calm and peace. I felt humbled and honored that I got to witness this very intimate moment and many more. With such compassion, I have always been able to inspire change, and this is what motivates me to keep moving forward on this path of supporting others.

Our memories are commonly thought to be stored solely in our minds, but they also become imprinted in our bodies through our senses. This physical encoding encompasses both general experiences and traumatic events, where the latter is stored as bodily and emotional states known as body cell memory.

When a traumatic experience occurs, it is encoded not just mentally but as a specific bodily and emotional state. Subsequently, when similar situations trigger these memories, the body reacts as if the original trauma is occurring again, engaging in emotional, physical, and mental responses akin to those experienced during the initial event.

Even mild stresses that echo past traumas can activate these intense bodily reactions. Whether accompanied by flashbacks and distorted memories or not, the associated thoughts persist and replay in the mind, prompting the body to reactivate the trauma response, which perpetuates a cycle of stress and reaction
