It was also great to have my feelings validated and to see my situation through another angle, which Savannah is always great at doing through her thought provoking questions and her listening abilities. At first, I wasn’t sure if she got me but as the week went by and she learnt to know me, now she can sees through me quite quickly, and I am also super impressed about how many things she remembers about me.

So many things have changed, I am kinder to myself, I see my failures as a sign of resilience, I learned and believed I am hard working, I learn to parent myself and give me the things I hadn’t especially received from my parents, I am putting more attention into self care, I try to put myself first not last, I know how to handle my breakdown better if I still had some, I am learning how to have difficult conversations and I am learning so much about myself. My partner also highlighted how much emotional intelligence I had which is definitely thanks to my work with Savannah as I work with her to understand my triggers and what I really want out of my life.

Now, I don’t have to wait for anyone or anything to give me what I need. I still have moments of doubts or where I am being triggered, but it’s easier to navigate. I think it is also linked to this but I started to show myself as I am more, which was a part of me I tended to hide and it came with huge challenges but it is also a weight off my shoulders to not always have to be super aware of what everyone is thinking and trying to people please just to feel safe.
