My destructive cycle was slowly killing me. I had all the tools yoga, meditation, I found my faith, healthy diet (when I wasn't drinking), but then I would spiral out of control.
I'm from the corporate world, high profile job with responsibilities, but I couldn't get my life on track. Suffering from severe burnout my last binge scared me. My beautiful Son had found Lives Lived Well and wanted me to take care of myself - to love me again.
My first session with Janelle was one of relief, there was something going on that would lead to behaviour that was Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde. My second session then I knew there was a light at the end of my dark tunnel.
Not only was my one on one sessions so important with Janelle, it was the group session when Janelle discussing another patient's triggers that I finally put the piece to my puzzle of triggers, responses, reactions became light bulb moments and now I have knowledge and tools to navigate my life.
Janelle kept telling me I needed self love to fill my tank. I had all the tools of self care but not self love. It wasn't until one more writing in my gratitude diary (there is a section on "Love of Self") that I understood, I couldn't keep giving out unless there was self love. I experienced an intense warmth in my heart, of love, joy and hope and my creative juices started to flow. I had a mental block for the last few months while at the company I work for. I was so excited, I couldn't wait to tell Janelle the profound moment I had experienced that morning writing in my dairy and again in our morning group.
All throughout my time at Wunya I was constantly getting job offers - don't be tempted to leave early because I believe it does all fall into place and you need to complete the course.
Shortly after I left Wunya I started back at my old company, they created a new role for me, new boundaries as well, I feel stronger, content, calm in the knowledge I've got this.
Thank you Wunya and Janelle ☺️
