Deep dives
Dr. Mary L.'s Journey to Healing
Dr. Mary L. Bouquet, a holistic psychologist and intergenerational trauma expert, shares her journey to discovering her passion for healing and the development of her holistic clinical framework. From a young age, Dr. Mary noticed her intuitive and empathic nature, and later, after experiencing her own healing journey and volunteering in her hometown, she realized that mental health was an area in which she could offer healing to her community. This realization led her to pursue therapy as a career, despite societal expectations and challenges. Through her personal healing work and training, Dr. Mary developed a deep understanding of human emotion and the importance of settling the body to facilitate healing.
The Power of Mindful Attunement
Dr. Mary reflects on her ability to be deeply attuned to others' emotions from a young age and how this skill guided her path towards becoming a therapist. She shares that even as a baby and toddler, she was observant and quietly absorbed her surroundings. Over the years, she honed her ability to be present and attentive in her interactions with others. Although there was a period in her life where she became disconnected from her own experiences, she eventually reconnected with her innate high level of attunement and curiosity about human emotion and began incorporating these qualities into her therapeutic approach.
Embracing Faith and Courage
Dr. Mary discusses the role that faith and courage played in her journey towards becoming a therapist. She explains that she had to take a leap of faith to overcome the fears and anxieties associated with leaving her stable career in advertising to pursue therapy. Despite societal pressures and her own self-doubts, she followed her intuition and the deep connection she felt when serving others. She emphasizes the importance of having faith in oneself and the support of loved ones during moments of uncertainty and navigating the tension between societal expectations and personal calling.
The Transformative Power of Practices
Dr. Mary shares the transformative tools and practices she integrates into her healing work, particularly focusing on breathwork, humming, and rocking. She explains how these practices help the body settle and create a sense of safety, grounding, and peace. Through consistent repetition, these practices form new neural pathways in the brain, enabling individuals to default to a settled and grounded state. She highlights the accessibility and simplicity of these practices, emphasizing that anyone with the ability to move their bodies and breathe can benefit from them. By embracing these practices, individuals can create profound shifts in their mood, brain structure, and overall well-being.
