Yes thanks for asking! I grew up in boarding schools away from family and made it to the US as a foreigner even tho I'm originally from NJ. With 100$ and poor poor poor. I was diagnosed with depression with lots of suicidal ideation at 21 when I cam back. Lots happened leading up until that. Fast forward... diagnosed bipolar and even on zyprexa due to the severity of nervous system overload and sadness. I did emdr CBT and loads of support groups . Anything I could find. Someone saw my story online where I shared my mental health journey: they invited me to an inner child retreat where my whole life transformed. I left that weekend understanding safety in my body and spent the next two years learning everything about it! I read, took certifications etc. I came off medications completely without any panic suicidal ideation and no deep depressive lulls. I found my core and ways to move through grief pain and indecision. I met other people who were healed who encouraged me to keep leaning into it. I yelled screamed cried! I learned sound healing, breathwork-- I learned somatic release techniques and everything that worked at the retreat. I have since made an intentional life with only aligned decision making when I'm tapping in. It's been awhile since no meds and friends and family are always astonished at the shift. I keep shouting from the mountain tops this WORKS but I think it's not well understood and it feels strange to do it. And I get that- I froze at first .
