For me, the biggest shift in 2025 has been moving from “I need to fix this” to “I need to listen to this.” Less problem-solving, more attunement.Less overriding my internal signals, more curiosity about what they’re protecting. That shift has changed how I relate to my nervous system, my work, and my boundaries. I’ve learned that many things I once labelled as resistance, avoidance, or failure were actually intelligent adaptations asking for safety, pacing, or compassion.

Hi everyone, I’m Chris 👋 I’m a lived experience trauma psychotherapist and clinical supervisor, with a deep interest in how our nervous systems shape our experience of reality, meaning, and selfhood. I’m especially curious about the intersections between psychology, lived experience, and the questions that sit beneath. I’m here to learn, reflect, and be in thoughtful dialogue. I value spaces that welcome nuance, humility, and not-knowing, so this community already feels aligned. Looking forward to exploring alongside you.🫶🏻
