From Surviving to Living
Discover how childhood trauma, codependency and nervous system patterns influence your life today and how healing starts within
Welcome to my blog
Here you’ll find grounded, in-depth insights on codependency, narcissistic dynamics, trauma and the nervous system. For those who want to understand where things once went off-track and how to gently find their way back.
Because codependency isn’t a flaw or a wrong choice. It’s an old survival strategy, shaped in childhood and anchored in your body.
What you’ll find here:
• Why you keep ending up in the same kinds of relationships
• How your nervous system confuses tension with safety
• Why healing begins with feeling, not fixing
• And how to reclaim your freedom, one step at a time
Each blog is written from lived experience, therapeutic expertise and deep compassion. For those ready to feel, release and return to themselves.
Take your time. Let the words sink in. Your healing has already begun, gently, honestly, powerfully.
Codependency
Understanding, Recognition and the Loss of Self
Self-abandonment, people-pleasing, adapting to others, always on alert – these aren’t personality traits. They’re old protective strategies. This is where your awareness and healing begin.

Why Letting go of a narcissist feels impossible
Sexual abuse at a young age, eating disorders and codependency
