Letting Go of Unfinished Business
Heal Your Self Series 🪷 3 exercises, a meditation & a somatic tool
If you ever feel stuck, overwhelmed, disconnected or low, perhaps it’s time to break free from old patterns, begin healing and create a life you love!
This post is part of the Heal your Self series, including gentle, potent exercises to help you let go - and move on. The exercises are for paid subscribers, so if you are ready to move on to a bright future do upgrade.
I’ll be in the comments for any questions or reflections, or upgrade and book a 1:1 with me.🪷
I recommend paid members dedicate 20-50 minutes a week on the therapeutic materials here if you are wanting growth and change - like a low cost version of therapy. 50 minutes is a usual length of a therapy session, so give yourself permission to take time for yourself, with my support to answer any questions.
And don’t worry if you missed the start, you are not late! Just dive in when or where you want.

Hi friends,
Life is often messy, and we encounter people and experiences that hurt us. Sometimes this is due to deliberate actions of others when we were children or as adults, or experiencing too much change or loss over a short period.
Sometimes we experience existential things like death of loved ones, illness, or accidents, that can all have a profound impact on us.
This is all part of being human, though when too much happens for our brain to process, or we are highly sensitive, vulnerable, or too young to be able to make sense of it, we may find it hard to deal with and move on. Read my post on trauma here:

When the Past Still Haunts us, it is Unfinished Business
When harmful past events still haunt us, they can rise inside as extremely painful emotions, or horrible memories that won’t go away. We can be left with jumbled thoughts and feelings which are hard to articulate and can swirl around inside us like a hurricane, effecting mood, behaviour, habits, relationships and careers.
“Imagine holding on to a hot burning coal. You would not fear letting go of it. In fact, once you noticed that you were holding on, you would probably drop it quickly. But we often do not recognise how we hold on to suffering. It seems to hold on to us.” - Joseph Goldstein
Do you have ‘unfinished business’ weighing you down? The exercises are for paid subscribers. Still to come in the series: moving on from painful memories, healing shame and creating your future. See you soon either way, and thanks for being here! Kate x
