Glad to have you here! If you liked my articles, can you please share them with others too? You can read more about my client work here. My book Loving Awakening is out now and it's completely free! It discusses meditation, trauma, healing and some other things. http://www.lovingawakening.net I have related content on my YouTube channel, as well, including hypnosis and meditation audios and poetry readings.

I'm Maija and I've been writing professionally for over 20 years. My background is in medicine - I've written several books on chronic illnesses and their treatments. However, my current writings and other work are most informed by Internal Family Systems, somatic therapy and structural dissociation theory, but I draw influences from a myriad of different sources and ideas in neuroscience, spiritual traditions and elsewhere, from hypnosis to improv and from poetry to bodywork. Interpersonal relationships are also an important source of learning, especially as I've never experienced structural dissociation myself, but the vast majority of my friends have and struggle with it. Someone dubbed me "The lighthouse for lost souls" for this.
