Feeling Seen in Relationships
New Date TBD
Healing the Mother Wound
Hakomi Inspired Workshop
Hakomi-inspired workshop for women who want to feel heard, seen and understood in their personal or professional relationships
Women who've had a challenging relationship with their mother often end up feeling unseen, unheard or misunderstood in their adult relationships
It can be quite painful to repeatedly feel misunderstood, unseen or unheard by the people we spend a lot of time with such as intimate partners, colleagues or close friends.
Women who've had a challenging relationship with their mother often describe the frustration of choosing intimate partners who don't give them the level of attention or safety they need, friends who betray their trust or not there for them when they need it or colleagues who under appreciate them.
And the connection between a challenging relationship with one's mum in childhood and unfulfilling relationships in adulthood is often left unexplored.
So there's a tendency to conclude that you're too much, you're asking for too much or in some way or another the disappointments you're experiencing in relationships are--for one reason or another, your fault.
But. I want you to know it's not your fault! And feelings of guilt, shame or frustration in relationships do not have to be a default.
Following my work with many women on healing the mother wound, I’ve learned how critical it can be to learn which mother-wound patterns are transferred into adult relationships so a woman can cultivate or choose satisfying relationships in her personal or professional life.

"I was deeply touched by your workshop "Feeling Seen in Relationships". For a few days after it I was still feeling the waves and digesting & integrating the experience. I found all the exercises very good and especially the 3rd exercise was so profound. I was amazed how within only 3 hours such intimacy and depth could be gradually achieved. So, thank you again for sharing this work with all of us and for holding the safe space for healing and realisations to take place".

THE TWO BIGGEST MISCONCEPTIONS ABOUT WHAT YOU NEED TO FEEL SEEN IN RELATIONSHIPS:
There is plenty of advice online about relationships. Yet most of them miss the main, if not only thing that's needed in order to feel seen, heard and understood in relationships.
The messages that we hear are:
1. Speak up
Sometimes women try to speak up but they're not listen to. "I keep knowing on doors that won't open" women often say. Other times, it feels tender or impossible to find the right words or the right moment to say what you want to say.
And then, there's the conscious or uncosnicous fear that if you start saying what you really want you're risking losing that relationship.
Speaking up cannot be a one-size-fit-all solution.
2. Accept
You may have tried many times to accept for example, behaviours that don't change, being misunderstood, not having the level of attention you secretly want and more.
Perhaps to a certain extent you even managed to accept what's not working for you. But after a while you bounce back to a familiar disappointment, sadness or anger.
it’s simply impossible to accept an undesired reality if we don't really know why this reality happens in the first place.
There's a direct connection between the relationship you've had with your mother and how you form relationships as an adult, whether those are friendships, intimate connections or professional relationships. This is a missing piece that's remained unxplored.
THE ONLY THING WE NEED IN A RELATIONSHIP
TO FEEL SEEN, HEARD AND UNDERSTOOD
IS TO FEEL SAFE
Hi, I'm Shelly
Being abandoned by my mother, physically and emotionally, I recretaed similar experinces without knowing how and why. The journey of healing my own mother wound inspired me to start helping women heal childhood trauma and move beyong the lmiting beliefs that get them stuck in unsatisfying relationships.
For the past 15 years I’ve been working with women worldwide, using Buddhist psychology and trauma-informed practices such as Hakomi, polyvegal theory, breath work and IFS to heal the mother wound and become unlimited.
"I realised in the workshop that a part of myself believed that I couldn't trust or even believe it possible that somebody else could really hold or support me. But the experience that it WAS possible and how good it felt was like a cage that I had put around myself had melted away.
I came out of the workshop empowered on a new level to live my life by my terms and to trust my rhythm.
I felt very safe and for the first time in such a setting I was not distracted by others around me, I was very much in the process and journey that Shelly was creating and guiding us through.
Even when I felt overwhelmed I felt super safe to share and felt super heard and supported. I was touched by your capacity to hold the space in such a calm, gentle and compassionate way."

"It was a brilliant workshop. Two different times what came up in my body was unexpected and perhaps off-topic but handled in a way that lead to deep processing and integration. Shelly’s identification of what was happening was razor-sharp and with minimum, precise intervention she was able to bring my process to its momentary completion"
