A Little About Me
Hello, I'm Sharon Marie.
I'm an experienced and empathetic therapist dedicated to working with you as you navigate your path of healing and self-discovery.
I have made it my mission to ensure I am fully equipped to guide you through every twist and turn your journey may take and make that journey as smooth and enlightening as possible.
Seeking Support
I've found though clients know they have certain challenges they need to resolve to live a fulfilled and happier life, they tend to put off seeking support based on an outdated belief that what is in their way isn't as bad as what they have witnessed others cope with, therefore they should just get on with it!
So reaching out to get help for something that has been normalised feels daunting. After all how explain you can't cope with every day stuff without feeling you are being dramatic, over sensitive or even useless?
I understand that just contemplating talking about what is getting in your way brings up emotions you would rather avoid.
It doesn't have to be that way.
You can experience leading edge therapies such as Havening Techniques® where you don't even need to speak, you simply show up and let me do the rest. And quite often the issue that has been causing your distress is rendered harmless in the first session!
For you this means the emotional connection is disconnected in the part of your brain called the amygdala. This area is responsible for fear and emotional responses meaning after your session you are no longer living a life of mental and/or emotional pain and suffering. Making that life you want and deserve available without the emotional overwhelm of self blame, shame, guilt and feelings of misplaced selfishness.
This gentle hands on process lasts approximately 12-15 minutes with the total session lasting 50 minutes. It sounds simple because on the face of it, it is. Behind the scenes however your brain is generating an electroceutical effect that forever alters the source of your emotional suffering. Your brain now works on the premise you're safe, you can escape, you are no longer bound to the emotional, cognitive and visceral experiences you have been normalising. According to your brain your past issues no longer exist and cannot be retrieved.
Havening is effective on major single trauma events and negative emotions alike.
Once you have experienced the rapid transformation Havening® creates there is no going back to the old out of date emotional hijacking. And once you have learned the skill for yourself you can apply it simply by activating the emotional component of the distressing event you have experienced. Just think about it, apply the soothing Havening touch to your arms, face and hands. Or choose just one, it’s about what is comfortable for you.
I advocate facilitated Havening Touch® with a professional to begin with but for your quick reference I have provided a diagram below of how to help yourself instantly in times of stress:
The process is quick and effective, using soft yet firm strokes just follow the instructions you can see. No matter what your emotional bondage may be related to; people pleasing, anxiety, self-esteem, depression, anger, stress, PTSD or one or more of the many other encoded traumatic events we as human beings live through, Havening can decode it all. and set you free allowing you to live the life you desire and deserve!
