to for many of us shedding identities, becoming a new person, all of the fears and concerns that come along with dynamically then changing in these embedded relational networks that so many of us have found ourselves operating in for so long. So that is, I think, the biggest shift between traditional and holistic work. Self-healing, in my opinion, is really just empowering the self

the individual as the main active participant. So even for those of us who have access to these helpful clinicians or therapists or supportive coaches, it is us each and every day that's waking up, that's either dropping back and blindly going on our autopilot throughout the day or remaining committed to creating new choices in our mind and in our body.

And it also, I think, applies to the many of us who have been made to doubt our own intuition, our own instincts. I think for me, like a lot, we go into a supportive place And we almost squash our own knowing, right? We assume that someone, because they have letters after their name, and this applies outside of even the traditional psychology field. I've seen it in the medical field.

I've seen it in my own family, you know, seeking medical treatment. This idea that someone else knows better than what I know to be true. So self-healing, I think, I hope to be a movement of empowerment where we can learn how to be the active participant that we need to be to create incredible change and incredible transformation in our life.

And absolutely, a lot of people in my community membership, Self Healer Circle, have access to the supportive professionals, are in therapy themselves, and are also engaging in community-based healing, which became such a priority for me as I was creating the platform on Instagram and seeing how global the community was, how many people were

living the same struggles and empowering themselves to change in the same ways, I became acutely aware of the lack of accessibility, especially outside of the states, the United States here.

So for me, knowing that not everyone will have access to the helping professionals or to the financial resources to be able to utilize those services, community-based healing is number one, a priority in addition to free and accessible content on my social media pages.

I appreciate, Jamie, you bringing that up because I do see misinterpretations actually to the extent where people have believed me to be cited saying, don't go to therapy. And that's never a statement that would come out of my mouth. I truly believe we all need a safe, secure relationship somewhere. Though again, not all of us have access to it. And actually when I...

began my healing journey and discovered all the ways I was suppressing my wants and needs like I was describing earlier and needing to create space. And I made the very difficult choice to separate, to take some time away from my family of origin.

It ended up being about a year and a half for me to just begin to rediscover who I was outside of those very enmeshed, codependent relationships where I didn't know who I was outside of the function I played in my family, which was a lot of reliance my family had had on me for a very long time. And After that period of separation, we reunited in a family therapist office.
