I am a 47 year old man. I have had psychological complications since childhood, including emotional neglect and abuse that I experienced, multiple suicide attempts in my youth, and a series of consequences that have accumulated throughout my adult life. I was never open to psychological treatment and did not address my problems responsibly until a separation from my partner with children left me in a state of constant anxiety and depression that made it impossible for me to cope with my everyday life. At the recommendation of a close friend, I sought out Hadijah and was determined to silence my overly rational mind and embrace what coaching would offer me. It was a radical change that lasted several months and gave me a new perspective on my relationship with myself and with life. I think what Hadijah does cannot be fully explained, but I come to this approximation: I have come to understand that the mind is not just the rational, discursive part of the brain, but the entire body. And that the body seeks well-being if we allow it to. But in this society we learn to focus only on the rational part of the brain and dismiss everything else; and in this loneliness, when crises accumulate, the mind cannot live in balance. I can’t describe exactly what Hadijah did, it’s a mix of conversations, physical movement and visualizations that helped me connect what was scattered within me. I cannot say that Hadijah “healed” me from more than four decades of trauma and dysfunction, but she helped me lay the foundations for the healing path and accompanied me in the first, ever so fragile steps of this process. Thanks to her therapy, I was able to face the ghosts of the past and survive this ordeal unscathed. My gratitude to her is deep.
