Our session was really helpful in helping me really look at some parts of me that are terrified of connection and not being “chosen” that I haven’t usually taken seriously as material for therapy. Since then, I’ve had a lot of success in processing some of these traumas and attachment wounds. I feel much more confident in myself, Much more capable of being present with my own feelings of hurt, abandonment and rejection, Much less afraid of rejection (Both in and out of dating), And overall much more securely attached.

I’ve been really fortunate to have been dating and fallen in love with this really sweet person (Actually met them for a first date not too long before our session). They are moving across the country, So we both had convinced ourselves that it was necessary to break up. Something inside of me spoke up and said “but why though?”. I felt confident enough to stay present with all of the emotions I was feeling and to voice that (regardless of if they would reject me on this or not) I wanted to stay together. It turns out they wanted the same thing so we’re going to attempt a long-distance relationship. I’m not sure I would’ve had the courage to risk such a vulnerable rejection If it wasn’t for the work that started from our session. Thank you.

I feel profoundly fortunate to have had that time with you, Indigo. What I’d learned about you in advance (not a huge amount) led me to expect I’d be able to relax around you, and I am still having trouble articulating the many great aspects of the experience…

I’ve told friends it was like seeing an old friend who still loves me with all of their heart. It reminded me of meeting people years ago… it’d be easy to say “when I was younger it was easier to feel that way” but I think that’s a misattribution. I felt that your warmth and openness allowed me to open in ways that I’ve had trouble doing after painful experiences, big and small. (And people of any age can be in pain, or not, or can have healed, or recovered)

I’d love another appointment with you.

Indigo - I am very grateful for the space you hold/container you create. You bolster my connection to my physical self and to others in our sessions.
You give me a way to ground myself in my body without taking manual control of my breath, or becoming acutely aware of any background pain I've been ignoring. You also help reduce my ingrained terror of asking another person to do something for me. That is all precious work for me.
