EXPERIENCE CHANGE WITH FAITH STORMS

WELCOME

You give and give to so many in your life. You enjoy this but sometimes you get exhausted. Sometimes you feel used or unappreciated.

You are a good employee, maybe even great. You show up, do your tasks and work well with others. Yet you are asked to do more and more and often do not feel appreciated. You begin to feel burnt out and exhausted. Maybe you just want to quit.

At home you are involved, caring, connected. You seek to support and assist all your family members with their lives. There is growing pressure on you. When you ask for support or assistance, you rarely get it.

If any of this sounds familiar, I can help you.

About

My name is Faith Storms

You feel overwhelmed and anxious. You feel unsure and shaky in your body. You feel a lack of self confidence. It is hard to know what to do next. Your heart literally hurts.

You have tried to help yourself - self help books, talk therapy, support groups, inspiring speakers. You have tried medication or dietary changes, hoping it would help. Then you tried bodywork or spiritual retreats.

None of these got you to where you want to be. None of these brought you lasting peace. And why? Perhaps the timing was off. Or perhaps it was not the right container for you. Maybe you needed to be seen and held in safety just as you are and just where you are now. Maybe you needed the space held with compassion and strength.

In order to change and find peace, I believe and have seen that 3 things need to happen.

1. We need to connect to ourselves in all ways - mind, body, emotions and spirit/soul. We need to learn to more fully inhabit our bodies especially. Many of us with anxiety struggle with this.

2. We need to develop balance. Inner strength and resiliency.

3. We need effective and supportive tools and resources to support our growth and wellness.

So, why me? Why trust me with your heart?

I have education, training and experience. I earned a BA in Psychology, a Masters in social work. I have training and certification in EMDR, EFT and effective trauma treatment. I have taken a powerful series of weekend meditation courses (Zoetic Meditation.) I have taken mindfulness training. Every 2 years I take a minimum of 40 CEUs of ongoing training in my counseling field to maintain my state license. I also have been working in the helping field for over 25 years. This amounts to a very minimum of 25,000 client hours (and more likely like 30-40,000 hours!) I have seen and heard a lot in all these years.

The above credentials give me the needed foundation. However, it is not why you should trust me.

The reason you might want to trust me is because your journey was mine. I have become the healer I was seeking years ago. I needed peace for MY heart. I was driven to seek after it. I had to find it. And gradually, piece by piece, step by step, I HAVE found peace for me. And this lifelong process and journey is a huge part of what I bring to my healing work now. Only you don't have to wander around as I long as I did. I now have a clear and useful set of tools and resources that work. I have tested them. First with myself and then with others. While peace may take some time, it will not take a lifetime. If you are a heart centered person like me, I think these tools and structuring will work for you as it has for me.
