Why Talk Therapy Wasn’t Helping Me — What I Discovered Instead

If you’ve ever felt stuck or frustrated in talk therapy, you're not crazy. DISCLAIMER: I ENCOURAGE EVERYONE TO SPEAK TO A THERAPIST. THIS IS FOR THOSE WHO FEEL INCOMPLETE WITH TALK THERAPY ALONE. 

While therapy can offer incredible insights and emotional support, it often misses a crucial piece of healing: nervous system regulation and helping your body feel SAFE.

In this video, I share my personal experience feeling unheard and triggered in therapy. I’ll also explore why the nervous system needs embodied, somatic, and integrative approaches to truly heal — beyond words alone.
