Hi! And thanks for stopping by!
I’m Miriam, a trauma-informed coach and a therapist in training. I offer coaching, not therapy to those who struggle with the following:
- Being raised in an abusive family
- Being a target for abusers in romantic relationships
- Being continuously unhappy in romantic relationships without knowing the reason why
- Suffering from the underdog complex (underachievers)
- Suffering from perfectionism (overachievers who use accomplishments to avoid toxic shame)
- Suffering from limerence (romantic obsession)
- Suffering from maladaptive daydreaming
- Suffering from C-PTSD
In the words of Pete Walker, many of our problems as adults, do stem from childhood. However, as adults it’s very painful to revisit those memories, especially if our nervous system is not prepared for it.
My approach starts in the present, increasing your mental energy and mental eficiency levels to see an almost immediate improvement in your state of mind and life.
Digging into the past helps, once the present is sorted out to a “good enough” degree, but diving someone into traumatic stories of the past, without helping them build the mental fortitude necessary, it may only leave them feeling hopeless and sad, when faced with the injustice of their past.
I also practice relational healing, meaning, I practice with all of my clients secure behaviours in relationship with me. One of the pillars of trauma-healing, is helping people achieve discernement in what makes someone feel trusthworthy and feel safe in relationships in which they are actually safe.
If you are interested in learning more about me, you can schedule a free 30-minute session with me, either via text, audio call or video call by emailing me at miriamtraumainformedcoach@pasthepast.com
Looking forward to hearing from you!
