For 32 Years I have struggled with the effects of trauma as both a child and adult. This has manifested in: anxiety, constant chronic pain, depression, hypervigilance, disassociation, and masses of overwhelm. I just kept going until…..BAM physical and mental burnout hit. I am also Neurodivergent.
I worked 1:1 with Rebecca via Rise to Thrive. There was no pressure… working at my own pace. I could express myself through writing and photography in an enjoyable way without exhausting/overwhelming myself further. I loved the flexibility of working inside or outside. Best part was experimenting with the phone camera. Seeing the images I took put onto canvas was magical.
During the course I connected more to my body, and my mind became calmer. It helped me: process my thoughts, feelings, as well as past experiences in a way that felt secure for me. I became more confident in my photographic and writing abilities. I would like to do more 1:1, and possibly group courses. This experience opened a whole new world for me. Be interesting to see what path it leads me to!!
Rebecca genuinely cares for her clients and their work. She really listens and is so encouraging. I learnt techniques that I could use every day to benefit my overall health. One way was how I can use colour to help regulate my emotions. Most of all I had fun. So; Don’t delay book yer Mindful Photography today!!!😁😁😁
