MOTHERLESS DAUGHTERS/ PARENT LOSS

I have experience working with individuals who have lost a parent during the developmental years of their lives. This loss is near and dear to my heart as I am a motherless daughter who lost my mom at the age of 13. Navigating the world without that guidance and primary core relationship shapes you and impacts you well into adulthood.

I also work with individuals who have lost a parent at any age. This loss of a primary relationship, whether it was a close or distant parent, can bring many emotions to the surface and can be complex. This is very deep and difficult work to grieve and process well.

POTENTIAL WORK WE COULD DO TOGETHER:

  • explore your connection or lack of connection with your body and intuition.

  • explore what a safe relationship looks and feels like

  • identify parts of yourself that you have disconnected with

  • gain awareness around ways you abandon yourself or shape-shift to preserve connection with others.

  • rebuild a sense of safety and trust within yourself.

  • explore resistance or fear around setting boundaries.

  • support for identifying and implementing healthy boundaries

  • develop more language around emotions and feelings

  • discovering unconscious patterns and styles of relating

  • explore ways you might take on responsibility or energy that is not yours

  • gain deeper understanding of your current relationships in context of your personal story or past relationships

  • work through grief around faith deconstruction and reconstruction

  • Identify and challenge non-supportive core beliefs about yourself
