Healing happens in relationship.

In our relationships with other people, yes. But also in the relationships we develop with our bodies, our emotions, our protective patterns, and eventually, ourselves.

And I think this is part of why Sitting With Lauren feels like the right name for this next chapter of my work.

Because I'm becoming less interested in asking, How do we get rid of this?

And much more interested in asking:

Can we sit with this for a moment?

Can we get curious about what's happening?

Can we understand why this response might make sense before we try to change it?

And perhaps most importantly:

What becomes possible when we experience a different way of relating to ourselves?
