My thoughts and musings

The power of hope

1/10/2018

I wanted to talk to you about something really important today: hope.

Hope is such a powerful thing, isn't it? And yet, when it comes to healing things like depression, anxiety or past trauma, hope is one of the first things taken away from us.

I remember sitting in my psychiatrist's office at the age of 32 and being told that, statistically, the chances of me ever recovering from the anorexia and bulimia that had taken close to 13 years of my life were close to nil. And that I would never be able to get off my anti-depressants but that I could learn to "live with and manage" my anxiety. And when I questioned this process I was told I needed to be realistic. Logical.

But here's the thing: logic doesn't take in to account how I *felt* which was totally and utterly hopeless.

You see, sacrificing hope for realism may seem like a noble cause but it's not. That light at the end of the tunnel that we all talk about? That light is hope and without it we are just lost in the dark with no end in sight. It's no wonder so many people choose to give up.

But I know that's not you because you're here, reading these words. And that means you still have hope.
​
And that's a beautiful thing.

    After years of dealing with frustration and blame from the medical community, I finally chose to take control of my own health journey; a path which has led me to where I am today. 

    I am honoured to support my clients as they take the first steps down their road to better health and the extraordinary life they deserve.
