My Journey to Creative Healing

I discovered the power of creative healing modalities in the middle of my own healing process. For the past six years, I’ve been deeply immersed in exploring attachment, trauma, and everything that comes with unraveling old wounds. Together with my therapist, we dove into every book, modality, and tool we could find, experimenting with what resonated and worked best for me. I went through phases where I thought each next discovery would be "the missing piece," but eventually realized that healing isn’t about finding a single solution. Instead, it’s about combining different approaches and personalizing them to meet our unique needs and experiences.

As I have worked to heal my own CPTSD, I have come to deeply understand that the complexity of our trauma mirrors the complexity of healing. Trauma affects us emotionally, mentally, and physically, and healing requires patience and compassion for every part of ourselves.

As I continued on my healing journey, I realized that it wasn’t just my trauma that was complex—that I am full of layers and parts, each with its own story, needs, and emotions. Getting to know myself and understanding myself and all of my parts (with the help of IFS) allowed me to tailor my approaches to honor all of me. This shift—recognizing that healing is as much about understanding myself as it is about addressing trauma—transformed the way I did this work.

I began incorporating AI into my therapy work, using it to come up with meaningful names and images for my parts. This gave me a new way to connect with them and see them more clearly. I also explored my astrology and various personality profiles to gain insights into myself and my needs. When I felt stuck, AI became a creative tool that helped me find new ways to move forward. These personalized approaches helped me understand myself on a deeper level and made the healing process more effective and meaningful.

Through this journey, I’ve learned that when we step outside of the box and bring creativity into the healing process, it becomes even more powerful. As I shared these ideas with others, I saw how it opened new doors for their healing as well. Now, I’m passionate about using the powerful resources we have at our fingertips to help you unlock new layers of healing. When we approach healing with personalized and imaginative tools, we can access deeper transformation and growth.
