Hey guysss😇

Hey, my names Olivia, I’m 23 and I’m from London! I want to learn as much as I can from the likeminded individuals in this community. My aim is to grow together as a collective so we can help to make a positive impact in our own lives and other peoples lives as a result😌.

A vulnerable fact about me is that I have a pattern where I can fall into periods of isolation, I don’t want to socialise or speak to anyone. This can then become a cycle of avoidance where I’m attempting to distract myself from the fact i’m not contacting any friends, family, going out to do things, etc. This happens until one day I break down and realise I can’t continue to do this so then things go back to normal. I’ve been in therapy for 4-5 years now so I know some of the unconscious influences why this happens (especially during the winter time). I’ve worked on it and it has definitely improved (the periods have become shorter) but it’s something I still struggle with at least once a year.

Something I love and would like to think I have a pretty decent knowledge of, is psychology. That’s what I have always been fascinated by since I was a child, hence why I chose to study it at University, got my masters in Clinical Mental Health and continue to train in the field. I want to be a psychotherapist, but because I also love spirituality and believe it’s a necessary part of an individuals healing and growth process, I want to train to be able to integrate techniques like meditation, mindfulness exercises, grounding, inner child work, to help people find their unique purpose as a human on this planet and to become more self aware of themselves. For me I see psychology and spirituality as being two sides of the same coin. They complement each other and should be used together, providing a more holistic approach to healing. That is the soul of psychology, that I believe is missing in mainstream health care today (and life in general for most people). So I feel like my purpose is to be one of the individuals who pushes this holistic approach forward and delivers that to others during my life.

If you feel like you might already know your purpose in life or what it could potentially be to do with, let me know below😊
