Busy tending to the Other
When did someone last notice the thirst within your own roots?
Caregiving so often begins as a way of staying close. For a youngling whose needs meet withdrawal, inconsistency, or alarm, attending to the needs of an Other becomes the surest path toward orientation, proximity, and attachment, a protective pattern formed in service of survival and belonging.
Over time our systems learn to seek and sense the moods of those around us long before our own wilting comes into view.
Turning the watering can toward ourSelf can feel unfamiliar, even uncomfortable, especially where reaching inward is so rarely met. Yet, beneath all the doing, there remains an alive longing to be valued, received, and known.
It reaches for an Other, a someone steady enough to notice what has wilted and to stay alongside us as it begins to lift toward the light again.
Perhaps this weekend there may be a moment, however small, to pause, to turn thewatering cans spout toward the pot that bears the name of the one worth tending to too: the pot that bears your own name.
Welcome, my name is Chele, I am a therapist primarily specialising in Trauma – specifically as it presents as Burnout and Breakdown. As a psychotherapist & PACFA & CCAA Clinical Counsellor I work individually with beautiful humans such as yourself who feel alone, lost, confused, & overwhelmed; those of you who are longing for something different.
As such, I offer my knowledge, skills, and inherent gifts with ears that listen to hear, and a heart open to receive who you are, no matter the suffering you bring; to support you in an exploration of how your past has impacted you and the ways that shows up presently. Together we will rediscover your hope and your sense of Self; we will reconnect you to what matters reclaiming the joy and delight in life you so deserve.
I welcome you to view my services or connect with me to explore how I can assist you in your journey.
