So often we think that feeling of fear must mean we've done something wrong
fear
So when fear comes up during a healing journey, it can feel confusing.
We've also felt that bowling ball in our stomach when scrolling through a list of providers.
We've also wanted to throw up instead of calling a therapist's office.
We've also spent a sleepless night before a new intake session rehearsing our history so we're taken seriously (but not TOO seriously, if you know what I mean).
We've also cried our hearts out over a little bottle of medication.
As we took our first steps towards healing, the feelings of fear that came rushing through our bodies were not warning signs signaling that we had made mistakes but the welcome signs of growing.
We needed the supportive shoulder of a friend to remind each other to just keep going. We needed to know that we were normal. We needed the encouragement to just take the next right step.
Every twist and turn, step forward and step back, we’ve held each other up and confirmed that trauma recovery isn’t a solitary experience. Healing together helped us to feel a little less crazy when everything else unraveled around us. It was so important to us, so critical to the integration of everything that we were learning that we asked ourselves...
What if we didn't have that support?
We can't know for sure.
Therapy Doulas Journey coaching services are designed so that we don't have to find out the answer to that question.
We offer individual sessions, monthly sessions, and group sessions to walk alongside you as you embark on your healing journey. We are honored to hold your hand, wipe the sweat from your brow, and remind you just how brave and beautiful you are.
I needed a safe place where I could ask some questions, laugh about how awkward it all was, and feel a little less alone. Talking with [my Therapy Doulas Coach] helped me to normalize what I was going through. Her insight and encouragement helped me to feel confident that I was on the right track.
— Kris, Therapy Doulas Client
