Let down your barriers – show your true self

Life can be hard and painful – parents, friends, lovers can hurt us in ways that feel so painful, we decide never to let ourselves be hurt like that again. In doing so, we often retreat. We say ‘I like spending time alone’, we run from any situation when it may challenge these barriers. Or maybe we find solace in drink or drugs which allow us to get away from any real ‘feeling’.

At the heart of this, we may have taken on beliefs that we are not good enough, not worthy of love, or fearful that any connection will end in pain.

But, going through life with a heart that is not engaged is lonely, depressing and can feel meaningless. Using coping mechanisms such as avoiding situations which challenge these beliefs, mean that the fear of connecting grows bigger and bigger the more we refuse to face it.

Showing your true self, loving fully and being vulnerable is where true happiness lies.  I can help you reach this place; by getting to the root of your fears, helping you allow yourself to feel and be vulnerable again and ultimately look forward to an engaged heart and happy future.
