Have you experienced Parentification ?
A Wounded Healer
Hi, Welcome!
My name is Yelna and I am the founder of Tomydearself. I am a professional Counsellor, Trauma-Recovery Coach and mostly a Wounded Healer.
From a young age, I knew I wanted to help others. After finishing my studies, I finally found my calling and I haven’t looked back since. This is more than just a job for me, this is my passion and mission in life. But before anything I had to do the inner-work myself. I had to know by experience, what this journey has to offer and how does it work. Trust me when I Say, indeed it is not an easy journey but one that is full of rewarding discoveries.
I have been wounded by multiple traumas since my childhood, including , Enmeshment trauma, loss of parents, Neurological struggles, toxic relationships. The inner work has helped me to look at myself and my life from a different perspective. It allowed me to find my purpose and fall in love with my life deeply.
I have come a very long and bumpy road to reach where I am today and I truly believe that my story, my life, my sufferings and my growth has created a path for me to heal, to connect with others, to show them how to turn their darkness and pain into light and strength, to re-discover themselves again and fall in love with all your parts.
My mission has been to help and empower my clients to overcome their most challenging obstacles and start living happier and healthier lifestyles. My extensive experience means that I'm fully equipped to guide, support and assist you in building the life you clearly deserve.
My Approach
When working with my clients, I usually take look into their unique values and personalities. Generally I don't like to identify my clients with their symptoms and struggles. I believe each one of us have the power to heal ourselves and amplify our lives. I am just here to help you to recognise your strength and remind you that you are more than your struggles and sufferings. Your life, your story, your experiences and your feelings are all valid. You are Valid and more than Enough to live your life to the fullest potential.
Basically, we begin with exploring your past experiences and practice inner-child work with those who have unhealed wounds from their past by raising awareness about the impact of hidden and suppressed emotions on your current behaviour, habits and relationships. Then I will guide you to recognise and identify your strength and capacity to take responsibility for your happiness. By doing so , I will help you develop a new set of healthy coping skills .
My goal is to encourage you to love and accept every parts of yourself that has shaped you with both good and bad traits. I want you to see your true worth and heal by Letting love shine through your wounds.
Lets heal together, I am ready whenever you are !
