Who even are you?
to be witnessed and understood is your emergent self. that is innate and organic self-repair.
Relational neuroscience teaches us that your wondrous brain literally built to accommodate the life circumstances you’ve needed to survive.
That’s right! Your brain isn’t broken; it was exquisitely responsive to environment. Relational neuroscience also teaches us that safe relationship is the ultimate elixir.
Like a plant grows toward light, innately and intelligently, bodies are self-healing with under conditions that allow it to do so, the brain will repair, just like a plant will grow towards the light.
I gave up on quick fixes a long time ago. Relational rupture doesn’t happen overnight.
I believe that all trauma is relational, and the sweetest, organic repair is so intelligently relational, as well.
You aren’t broken. You make sense. Of course you’re
You want to feel understood and that’s all I want to do is understand.
What if you could tell someone who deeply cared what you’ve lived through?
Dear Fellow human,
Your stories hold an experience that hasn’t been caught with compassion and care.
Would it be ok if I sit with you for a bit?
I wonder what it’s like to be you, right now? Right here.
A story catcher…. kind of like a midwife but instead of catching babies, I catch your lost little selves, hanging onto the pantlegs of your lived experiences today that vex you.
that were never caught.
I’d like that…
I wonder how it would be, if I just gently accompanied you through the telling of your life stories that not a soul alive has quite caught yet?
What moments of your life have yet to be cradled in exquisite care?
Would you like some acknowledgment that all the twists and turns, heartbreaks and losses… all your cumulative lived experience, up til now, has taken its toll?
Maybe you feel alarmed and alone.
Is there a grief in your bones?
Are your cells weary?
Would you love to take a break from trying to figure out how to heal, and just rest in the presence of a compassionate witness for a while?
I want to understand you. Would it be ok if I sit with you for a bit?
Right here? And just listen?
I wonder if you need self-acceptance? Self-trust? I wonder if you need accompaniment, the sweetest elixir for aloneness?
I wonder how it would feel for someone to take a genuine interest in you, just as you are? What would it feel like being with someone who trusts that you make sense and all you need is attunement, safety, and compassion?
Who is this for?
Your Stories hold an experience that must be heard, felt, named and understood for your body to metabolize it.
When you have the tools and resources to deal with whatever comes your way… all the circumstances and events that led you here are part of your story that you’re so proud to have overcome. You stand tall, exactly because of all you’ve been through.
You’re proud of yourself; you trust yourself; you’re resilient.
That realization… is a miracle that precedes miracle after miracle.
NOT a fixing room
A FEELING room
A nothing’s wrong with you room
A come as you are room
A grieving room
A laughing room
A slow paced room
An attuned room
a rewilding room
a healing room
a together room
a deconstructing room
a reconstructing room
a dreaming room
a weaving room
a harvesting room
a room for humaning together
less fixing more naps
Hi! I’m Molly. I’m a former coach who got sick and tired of corroborating with my beloved clients who thought they were a problem who needed fixed.
I don’t think you need changed. I wonder what would happen if you loved yourself just as you are?
That’s what I’m into now.
