My intro + why I’m here

Hey girls,

I joined the course on Monday. I was on the live call on Wednesday too, but since I was in a noisy car and driving at the same time it really wasn’t the moment to speak. I’m just grateful I could listen in – it was such a beautiful call and I related so much to many of your shares. 💛

I won’t be able to join next Wednesday (mom life + pick-ups etc.), so I figured I’d drop an intro here instead.

My name’s Sanna, I’m 39, and I have a 9-year-old son. I’m originally from Blekinge in the south of Sweden, but I live in Stockholm now. Back in April I made the decision to leave my ex after 10+ years together. The relationship had become destructive – he shows a lot of narcissistic/psychopathic traits – and I just couldn’t do it anymore.

It’s been a rough spring, but honestly some things have gone better than I expected. But it´s still a rollercoaster-ride.

Even though the hardest part is behind me, it still feels like I’m right in the middle of the whirlwind of healing. Remembering who I am, processing all the years in survival mode, the traumatic break-up, while also trying to build a strong foundation and a bright future for me and my son. At the same time I’m learning how to co-parent with a very challenging ex, and trying to find my energy again at work after some sick leave. It’s a lot (probably feels like a lot just reading it 😉) but I’m hopeful, and so happy I found this course and this beautiful community to complement the therapy I’m doing.

My long-term goal is to learn how to regulate myself and my nervous system – and eventually teach my son too, so he’ll have tools way earlier than I ever did.

From week one I’ve especially loved the body scan and the two meditations – they really help me land, focus and stop my mind from spiraling into worries and worst-case scenarios. It makes such a difference to notice where the tension sits in my body and come back to the present moment.

Excited for week 2. ✨

Wishing you a cozy Sunday and a lovely week ahead.

Big hug,Sanna 💕

PS. I’m not usually this good at English – got a little help from my dear ChatGPT 😉
