Hi everyone 👋 it’s lovely to be here and be part of this amazing community I’m new to the community and yesterday I joined Amanda’s guided meditation for the first time and I felt truly at one and more self aware and more regulated and aligned during the meditation it truly was an amazing new experience for me and definitely something I need to share with you all and I know I now need to practise meditation and mindfulness on a regular basis to further help me on my own personal development journey and I would also love to try hypnosis to help me overcome obstacles in my life that don’t serve me to. A little bit about me TRIGGER WARNING : so I have suffered with very bad mental health for years and suffered with anxiety low mood and low self esteem and lacked in confidence and motivation and self sabotaging tendencies with over eating and smoking and vaping for years and I have also experienced a complete loss of identity and also suffered with suicidal thoughts which all stemmed from my childhood trauma and abuse and unprocessed and unhealed trauma and I ended up attracting more of the same into my adult life always needing to go back for the same help from the mental health services but the same lessons always repeated themselves until I learned the lesson they were teaching me I knew I needed to do something different to set myself free from mental health struggles and to refind myself my identity and a sense of hope and use what I have gone through to help others so what I’ve went through wasn’t for nothing and heal through helping other people whilst working on my own self development since I have started my self development journey back in July last year the universe has guided me to the right path and direction of good positive energy people who have been able to offer me inspiration and wisdom on my journey and been able to give me the correct help I have very much needed iam still.very much on my healing journey still but I know I have the right people by my side and in my corner which has gave me meaning and purpose and a sense of hope and inspiration and motivation to help other people who struggle with mental health and iam working towards becoming a mental heath coach in the future and I have already shared two speeches about my story at two different events and iam also writing a book 📕 too because I believe there is not enough resources to help people and people are not getting the help they need quickly enough and with more accessible services and better resources just like this community Amanda joy I believe more people can be helped I believe this is why the universe has guided me here to this community and too Amanda joy and I feel truly blessed to be here on my own personal development and healing journey so thank you for having me be part of something truly amazing and special from the bottom of my heart thank you for everything you do here in the community for people amazing 🫶❤️ ps if you’d like you can follow me on instagram under Healing after trauma and I’m also on Facebook under Sandra Henton thank you for reading my very long post 🫶
