NOBODY Should feel or be alone during a breakup. Breakups are like earthquakes. we feel shaken up to the core... Let's rebuild together...

Your healing and Recovery matter...

Our survival as a species is really dependent on connection, relationship, and reciprocity. As far as the brain is concerned, a broken heart may not be so different from a broken arm. Therefore, a break-up should not be taken lightly. I am here to help.

Why Work with me?

My name is Soumaya (Sue Maya). I am a trauma-informed recovery coach certified by the International Association of Trauma Recovery Coaching. I work with individuals going through breakup trauma. Trauma is the Greek word for WOUND. Trauma is NOT the event we experience but the lasting impact that an event has on our functioning nervous system (brain). Trauma is when an event or experience rewires our brain in a negative direction. As a trauma recovery coach, my mission is to help the people I work with become aware of their nervous system's hyper-arousal and their emotional dysregulation, and gently provide them with the tools and psycho-education necessary to reach a state of calm, balance and homeostasis.

A BREAKUP IS A TRIGGER

Nothing triggers us quite like Relationships do. Relationships, whether romantic, professional or otherwise, do break…that’s inevitable. My last professional and romantic breakups completely shattered my world. Although the writing was somehow on the wall (like it is the case most of the time), the separation and feeling of abandonment and betrayal caused a wrenching pain in my heart and whole being. I felt devastated, angry, resentful, sad, hurt, and hopeless. When I looked around for help, I realized that finding the right guidance and support was not readily available. While most advice is centered around how to navigate finding the next job or partner, the breakup arena is a messy place where few professionals want to go. Because of the lack of support and focus in this area, We end up stuffing down and denying our hurt and anguish. we disconnect from ourselves and from others and become unauthentic and fearful of deep intimacy and connection. We harbor resentment and keep recreating the same unhealthy patterns in different relationships. I see breakups as an opportunity to delve deeper into our most vulnerable self and really connect to the pain and trauma caused by the loss. Going through a separation opens up wounds we have carried with us for many years which still cause us a lot of shame, pain and grief. I embarked on a journey of trauma-informed recovery coaching that has propelled me to discover and understand why I see the world the way I do. This learning process has led me to become a voice, a light and a safe place to help you through the heartbreaking experience of separation and the feeling of abandonment and loss.

Supporting you through the journey

Since every traumatic event is a considered threat to our survival, healing can only occur in an environment where we feel safe, understood and where we feel a sense of belonging, regardless of our brokenness. Knowing that we are not alone, that we have support and we can share our story and have it heard and acknowledged by another person is a tremendous healing exercise. I specifically explore my clients' abandonment wounds as well as their attachment injuries and help them reorganize their feelings and core beliefs around why they feel the way they feel and how to position themselves in order to gain the insight and emotional regulation needed to enter a new realm of possibility - A rabbit hole into the wonderland of self-sensing, self-organizing, self-trusting, and self-renewing.

Your opportunity in disguise

When we talk about growth, transformation & healing, it is great to look at it when you are triggered. Because when you are triggered, you are experiencing a wound and you have a chance to heal it.

Everyone needs to feel safe, accepted and loved

When we are not feeling safety, belonging and connection, we become emotionally dysregulated. This leads to insomnia, depression, irritability, eating and drinking disorders. This may interfere with our quality of life, social interactions, and relationships at home and at work.

You are not alone...WE ALL HAVE BEEN THROUGH IT

"The deeper integration is the real challenge to all of us who have been moved by such a trans-formative experience. In my own journey, the wounds of childhood opened me to forces beyond imagination. And still, I kept falling flat on my face. Unable to sustain the passion of Eros in my life"
