How I got here // My Journey

I was living in constant fear – in survival mode. I would say I was not really conscious or mindful of my actions. It felt like I had tunnel vision all of those years before.  

 When I was 7-8 years old, I was sexually assaulted.

I grew up in a chaotic environment, where I witnessed a lot of fights in my household, and was abused verbally and at times, physically. Despite the fact that on the outside, it looked like I had it altogether, but I really didn’t. I was a good student and involved in many activities (dance, extracurricular activities, modelling & acting jobs in Indonesia, performing at concerts, etc.). But to be honest, looking back at it now, those extracurricular activities, for instance, were my ways of escaping the discomfort within me and the unsafe and chaotic home environment.  

By the age of 14, I started to have intrusive thoughts and was suicidal. But there was also a part of me that believed there is something good out there for me. That I deserved to feel good and safe. So I fought and continued with my life, but still did not address the root cause yet.  

It was until I was 20 years old and in the middle of my University years, when everything came to the surface. The memories, feelings, emotions, and sensations. The intrusive thoughts and emotional pain came back 10x stronger, which led me to hospitalization. I will not go into the details of this part of my journey but if you would like to listen to my story of here.

I sought professional support from psychologists and psychiatrists, and was diagnosed with PTSD, CPTSD & BPD (Borderline Personality Disorder).
I really thought I was broken. 

I realized how the suppressed pain that I was carrying within me then sabotaged my relationships, studies, career, and physical health. For so many years, my immune system was so weak that I would get sick so easily. When there was a virus going around, I would get it in a snap. I have also struggled with eczema. I felt so fragile, broken, and hopeless. My confidence level was at an all-time low.

I then turned to holistic health because after seeking professional support (psychologists and psychiatrists) in 3 different countries, I did not see or felt any shifts from several sessions of traditional talk therapy and after taking psychiatric medications. I was also turned away by psychologists and psychiatrists in Indonesia when I told them of my diagnosis. To put it plainly, there is still so much stigma and especially around BPD.

We need to address an issue holistically. As a human, we are not just our mind, we are our mind, body, and soul.

I was introduced to holistic health when I started to explore different healing modalities in Bali after being turned away by the psychologists and psychiatrists I went to in Jakarta. I then started to experience some shifts within me.  

I started to have hope and motivation.

 Inspired by my own healing journey, I decided to learn everything I could about trauma healing/recovery.
