Relational Rupture and Repair with Thea Baker
Thea is a counsellor and body-based (somatic) psychotherapist with special interests in all aspects women’s health, trauma (PTSD, C-PTSD) and couples/relationship therapy. She works collaboratively with her clients to find a place of healing and recovery.; and she's in it for the long-haul and doesn’t give up easily. Thea is not the kind of therapist that is ok with “feeling better” if better is still a long way off being truly well.
Wellbeing is about much more than the absence of disease or illness. It’s a multidimensional mix of getting your physical, mental, emotional and social health in balance. Thea is a noisy advocate about mental health being a part of whole-person health – she believes that we have somehow got into a place where we see physical health in terms of strength and fitness whilst mental health is viewed through a lens of stigma, dysfunction and illness.
Thea and I chat about so many aspects of women's health and the transition points of a woman's life, including:
- the compounding effect of what we bring to motherhood, including the way we were attached as children and the relational trauma we have experienced
- how motherhood and the experience of trying to provide something we did not receive can trigger the wounded parts of us
- Internal Family Systems, the functions of our manager and firefighter parts and how it feels to live from our Authentic Self
- how attachment will always trump authenticity, and a tiny snapshot of how understanding this unravelled some deep anger towards self for Kylie
- the concept from Gabor Mates' body of work "not why the addiction, but why the pain"
- creating safe relational spaces, which include both the inevitable rupture and repair of relationships
- the function of oestrogen in caretaking and how and why we shed female friendships in midlife.
You can find Thea and her Thea Baker Wellbeing practise here.
