My journey to authenticity
Hi, I am Arundhati.
From not allowing myself to feel at all, to now feeling deeply, and with others, I have come a long way in my own healing journey.
I grew up believing that ‘keeping it together’ and ‘being sorted’ were badges of honour. Only after my system collapsed and I started doing real inner work did I realise that they were my childhood survival strategies that had become obsolete in my adult life. I started to understand through my personal therapy and training in psychotherapy that in childhood we develop a framework for operating in the world that we carefully take into adulthood without questioning their efficacy.
I had remained stuck in unhelpful patterns until I permitted myself to feel my feelings. It is after I started to feel that I also started to develop courage and compassion for myself in a way I had never done before. In my experience, 'owning one's life story' with courage and compassion is the cornerstone of deep healing. As I went deeper into the layers of my own being, I started to move away from binaries of right and wrong created by our world. I am now far more capable of holding myself, others, life’s contradictions and the complexities of human experience with lightness, care, curiosity, tenderness, compassion and huge amounts of courage.
I see myself as an evolving being. This is where I am today, and I want to meet you wherever you are on your journey.
