Fear or Vulnerability? The Trauma of Change
Dear Awesome Woman,
I’m writing a memoir and as I go back in time, there are some pretty funky emotions around what I’d call the “trauma of change” that pop up as I write. The body holds memories in its cells and because I’m drawing on my history, I’m also stirring up somatic sensations. I’m fortunate to be able to heal these as they come up because of the mindbody tools I have to process emotions such as sadness, grief, fear, vulnerability, shame, and trauma sensations such as freeze, fight and flight.
I also receive intuitive messages when the energy of these sensations has flowed and the one that emerged for me recently was this one: “One must make oneself vulnerable in order to change and bring in more amazing things into one’s life. It feels like fear but is often vulnerability and the ego is what is afraid of dissolving what it holds to be true.”
As I track a part of my life’s journey through writing this memoir, I’m able to see things from a different perspective than I had when I was actually in that part of my life. I was going through a transformation and had much resistance to it even though I was the one making choices and dragging myself forward. That push/pull felt like torture at the time, but from a higher perspective, I can see the beauty of what was taking place.
I hope that the intuitive guidance that came through for me, helps you in changes that you may be making at this time. What feels like fear, may be vulnerability. The ego does not like change nor growth, and yet for us to welcome more beauty into our lives, we must transform ourselves. Like a caterpillar changing into a butterfly undergoes the dissolving of form, so too must we take steps that cause parts of ourselves to dissolve in order to emerge into another beautiful being.

“I came to Miriam looking to seek relief from anxiety and stress induced illnesses I have had for years. Working together through four sessions initially I have found that I have been able to start to care for and show love to myself and feel sympathy and compassion for what I have experienced in my life, instead of having feelings of not being good enough.Â
I have connected to my body and have a new relationship with anger. I have learnt to sit with uncomfortable feelings and express them then tune into what my body is telling me, which informs my actions. I have felt so much more confident speaking my mind when my boundaries are crossed and I am trusting my body to guide my decisions.Â
Miriam is warm, understanding and very easy to talk to and I felt able to be honest and open up about anything I needed to. I am looking forward to learning a lot more about the magic of my mind and body connection.”Â
