I have learned to trust myself and my intuition, and to keep my sovereign Self close by when wounded parts come up.”

Before I started working with Clare I was coping with a changing sense of self, after a major trigger threw my life into unexpected disarray.

This was a difficult for me because I felt as though all the work I had done with my mental health until that point no longer had any meaning. I felt as though I no longer knew who I was, and I was somehow more broken than I'd ever been.

As a result of working with Clare over 10 months everything changed!

There is an ease in my body and a lightness in my spirit I haven't felt for a long time. I feel as though I've pieced myself back together into a new shape and form, with a knowing that I am resilient enough to face anything that arises. I have learned to trust myself and my intuition, and to keep my sovereign Self close by when wounded parts come up.

I now recognise when I am 'triggered' or 'hijacked' and feel able to separate Self from parts in a way that allows me to respond rather than react. I no longer see these moments as though there is something wrong with me, rather, they are a protective mechanism to be respected, loved, and nurtured as part of who I am.

It has helped immeasurably with my interpersonal relationships. I no longer feel the need to change or fix relational difficulties, but instead understand conflict and 'triggers' as information to help me understand myself and my needs. I am better able to assert my boundaries while meeting others exactly where they are. I no longer blame myself or let erroneous core beliefs influence my sense of self and worth.

If you are considering doing this kind of personal growth, I believe it's the most important investment we can ever make.

Thank you Clare, from the bottom of my heart. You have helped me to facilitate massive personal change and transition in such a profoundly beautiful way. I will always be grateful to you and your work.
