The lure of the unknown

Being with uncertainty is not for the faint-hearted,
Our brain wants to know & plan, ever so calculated.

Body interferes with fidgets & ickiness,
Sensations range from numbness and fizzy to flightiness.

Every pore of the body wants to return to the familiar,
Predictability is the human superpower; it rests on the borders.

Scanning for a way out of the endless dark chambers,
Procedural memory kicks in, offering coping collaborators.

Let’s step aside the judgement and loud voices of criticism,
Being kind when we react instead as a background hum.

About Me

Namaste, I am Jaya, a culturally attuned, neurobiology-oriented, Melbourne (Naarm) based Expressive arts therapist, Psychodramatist & Somatic Practitioner. I have learnt over a decade of practice that trust, safety, and unconditional positive regard are the sacred grounds for shaping the therapeutic process. Unearthing somatic wisdom, self-compassion, and imagination equips us to befriend our inner world and readies us for change. I am committed to trauma-informed care, affirmative and inclusive approaches. Look me up here https://jaya-narayan.com/
