Stimulus on top of stimulus stuff the body like cotton wool Muffling truth, hiding what is there. We run from silence because it shows us who we are. The wounds & scars, the things we try […]
The Year of Sensitivity. Happy New Year Everyone! I come to you fresh from the most wonderful Christmas travelling Europe and spending quality time with my partner, family and friends. I like to take long breaks away from work and teaching – number one, to promote a healthy work/life balance (although I love what I […]
