Case Study: Finding Truth Through Voice and Presence
This client came during a turbulent family crisis, seeking emotional and spiritual support. We began with a simple yet powerful practice: talking—and crying. But this wasn't just casual conversation. We used the voice as a tool to unlock deep emotional truth. The intention was not to talk about the issue, but to speak through it—until something shifted inside.
Together, we travelled inward, layer by layer, searching for the somatic truth—the felt sense in the body that confirms we’ve touched the core. This moment is unmistakable: the body lights up (with tingles, colour, or clarity), and then... silence. No lingering thoughts. No emotional residue. The issue simply disappears from the mind. This lightness is the threshold of transformation.
From here, the practice becomes integration. Who am I now, without the burden? This is where mindfulness and meditation become essential—to allow the new self to emerge without falling back into old patterns. In one powerful moment, I asked her, “Where are you?”—a question that struck deeply. She realised how absent she became during conversations, especially with the person causing her distress. Over the next three months, she began observing herself, discovering just how often she disconnected in relationships.
Transformation isn't always a thunderbolt. Sometimes, it's a whisper—a return to presence, a commitment to stay with truth, even in the hardest conversations.
