Welcome to Self-Awareness
The following describes the next steps and what to expect before, during and after your self-awareness session.
Steps to take
Step 1. Complete the intake questionnaire, so I have a bit more information about you, and your goals.
Step 2. Download and listen to the pre-recorded meditation to prepare you mind for your session.
What can happen before your session..
I believe the subconscious, working with divinity through serendipity, has brought us together. Divine timing and all that.
With this in mind, your subconscious is ready to heal the parts that are hurting and coming to the surface to be released. This is a natural process of inner work healing. Yes, it can be uncomfortable and confronting, and you may feel a variety of things.
Anxiety - anxious about what is there that wants to be seen, heard or be let go of so your be-ing can relax again.
Fear - of the unknown and what could happen during and after the session. Unfamiliar is scary, and one of the protection mechanisms is to shy away or abandon a course of action. Hold on to your vision for something different during this phase. You are normal, and also shows you have a protective force against more pain. However, this can also be self-sabotaging. Breathe in deep breaths of positive possibilities, and let go of thoughts, feelings and uncertainty that aren't supporting your growth at this point.
You may want to:
- run away and hide.
- cancel the appointment
- tell yourself you don't need help. You can and have done everything to date without it. Yes, you can do it all, but at what cost? Have you been choosing from fear or love?
- Use all your favourite avoidance, denial and other self-protection techniques to distract yourself from the above. Drink, exercise, binge TV/Netflix, sleep, work, sex, shop, or any of the activities that keep you and/or your mind busy and not feeling or seeing memories coming up.
- You might feel like a simmering pressure pot inside of you is ready to burst. Again, this is normal and expected. You have years, likely generations, of festering stuff and like anything that ferments, rots, or corrodes, there is a build-up of things to be released.
Take the pressure off with self-compassion, self-care in healthy ways, and gentle exercise.
Give yourself permission to cry, scream into pillows, journal, and return to nature to help release the built-up tensions.

Leah has first-hand experience in many aspects of trauma and, as a result, professionally studied various modalities. Her wisdom and learnings have been translated into books and, in particular, an Awareness and Accountability Journal that you can purchase here.
These books help give scientific reasons behind why we feel, think, and do what we do. All books have activities, strategies and hints on how to self-care, explore what is going on, and shift blocks.
