Hey 👋🏼 y’all!
Be sure to check out the ✨ NEW VIDEO✨ I just released, where I share vulnerably about my recent journey, and how it’s shifting & evolving some.
I woke up this past Monday morning & decided to get some thoughts recorded before going into a session of Emotional Release Therapy (more energy work/healing, not traditional talk therapy!)
I have been needing a “way in” to be able to start accessing my Emotions more fully. This pathway offers a Safe, Non-Judgmental container for your body to express what it never got to finish. If you’re a fan of the incredible book “The Body Keeps the Score” (a big part of what started this whole journey for me!) you’ve gotta check this out! ✨✨✨
I’ve been drawn to trying this healing pathway in person for a long time now, & the opportunity as finally arose! I’ll be posting the second part of this video, the follow-up, in the very near future. (*Spoiler: It was PROFOUND — More than what I’d hoped for even!* 😉🙏🏼)
I’m hoping to do more of this work moving forward & am excited to share it with you all here! 😊
For now, so much Gratitude 🙏🏼 & I wish you all a peaceful weekend!
💖✨,
Dylan.

✨✨✨ Today marks ONE YEAR officially OFF all Psychiatric (Psychotropic) Drugs for me! 🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼
Let me just tell y'all, after over two decades on them... this has been the most Defining, Profound, Challenging, Messy, BEAUTIFUL, Empowering, Liberating experience of my life.
This morning, as I did yoga in the morning sun by a pond on the property I'm currently at, I marveled at Nature. I marveled at Life. I marveled at MY LIfe, and all the Pain & Beauty it has been comprised of. I marveled at how much I've been through, and how hard I fought to "be able" to come off those drugs finally. I marveled at my Perseverance & how much Deep Work I have done (& continue to do!!) to learn to Heal myself, from things I never asked for, wanted, or deserved. I marveled at how much more ALIVE I feel today, 1 year OFF those drugs, than I EVER felt ON them.
I realized... as of today, I can feel ✨Wonder✨ again. And wow... how worth it does it make everything I've been through, be. I wouldn't be who I am without those experiences. And now, I am learning how to come home to me, my body, my authentic self; and I'm kind of falling in love tbh 💕🙏🏽✨😌
So much love to you all,
Dylan.
💖
PS. New video(s) coming sooooon! 😉✨✨✨
