What is Emotional Detox?

Emotional detox is a process of healing that releases unpleasant emotional memories. By counteracting how emotions work faster than thoughts, it prevents emotionally reactive behaviour that can sabotage happiness, success and goals. It is a process that stops the toxic energy drain associated with anger, resentment, hurt, grief and fear. Clients report feeling lighter, clearer, energised and ready to make overdue changes to their personal and professional life.

So Within, So Without

Uncomfortable emotions and negative behaviour patterns are often caused by toxic limiting self beliefs and the erroneous assumption that love, approval, security, control or survival is something you find outside of yourself. The detox process is focused on releasing these needs as being external by finding love and safety from within.  Emotional-Detox can help if you unconsciously choose partners, jobs or friends who drain your energy , create chaos or make you feel bad about yourself or not good enough because somehow your life "just doesn't work".  By uprooting the emotional cause,  Emotional-Detox can help if you want to change the way you sabotage your body, health or relationships by misusing alcohol, food, cigarettes or drugs to suppress emotions, and discomfort.


The Toxic Self Concept

This can happen at any age but it often starts in childhood when we are more vulnerable due to obvious dependencies. We look to parents and parent figures for love, approval and protection. We often don¹t get what we need and believe that it is because we are not good enough, not beautiful or clever enough. Many of us project that need for love and approval onto partners, colleagues or friends. We may try to people please or overwork, resulting in painful, stressful lives and relationships that don't work. Only by accepting that we are unconditionally loveable, and love ourselves in spite of our past or neglectful parents, can we be free to create a life of fulfilment and contentment.

Emotional Release

People release suppressed emotion in many different ways. Breathing change, body temperature change and postural change are all indicators that something is clearing. The result is a feeling of lightness and renewed energy . As a result we start to attract new opportunities and life takes on a different feeling altogether.

How I Work

By observing my clients I source the toxic self-concept and limiting beliefs. I can see and feel their energy and blocks behind the pain and emotions. I work with universal principles, spiritual laws and energy to help clients make sense of and resolve the past, from the perspective of love, compassion and acceptance instead of fear or ongoing resentment. I guide them through "energetic clearing" to reveal the presence of love which is what we all truly are.  This recognition changes lives.

Testimonial for Emotional Detox

My GP referred me to Louise as I was going through divorce. However I can now say that with the benefit of hindsight that I should have been seeing her a long time before I reached this crisis point.

Like many other "thirty somethings" I live a very stressed life with the pressure of work causing me to neglect my relationships, family and my emotional well being.

With therapy and emotional healing and Louise¹s particular style of mentoring, I calmed down and began to understand my motivations and, most importantly, I began to love myself for being me.

All my life I have pushed myself to be a high achiever driven by this desperate need for approval. I now know that love and approval has to be recognised within before you can receive it from others. I have learnt how to really look after myself and nurture my soul.

Louise has helped me to wake-up, ask myself the right questions and guide me towards a more profound sense of success and fulfilment.
