Humans are social animals. We require deeply embodied and interdependent relationships in order to thrive, it is a part of our genetic and evolutionary design.The deepest core of all human trauma is the fear, “I am alone here”. If we experienced this to be true, at any point in our lives, our incredibly adaptive brain will create survival strategies in order to avoid experiencing this aloneness again. The difficulty is that for many of us, the greatest harm we experience is within relationship. Many of our mental “disorders” come from this broken internal loop, “I need to be connected - connection has caused me harm”. This is why therapy exists. It provides a safe enough space to begin the work of connecting again first to yourself, and then with the ecosystem around you.

Celina is a neurodivergent, queer Expressive Arts Therapist with a focus on somatic, earthbased and relational modalities. Their work is client centred and grounded in trauma-informed approaches to healing as an artform. Human nervous systems are wired entirely towards connection, belonging and coregulation, like all beings that exist upon this earth. In times of struggle, we reach out towards others. Yet many of us have learned that vulnerability is dangerous, and have developed coping mechanisms that protect us from connection. The therapeutic relationship is a safe enough space to begin identifying, shifting & reshaping our lives.
