Welcome to the blog section of WYSEbymonique. My name is Monique and I’m so grateful to have you here.
As a psychologist, I’ve spent years working with incredible people, listening to their stories, and learning from their experiences. My own journey has been equally transformative. As I’ve walked - and continue to walk - the path of healing, I’ve discovered firsthand that growth isn’t linear. Healing is messy, unpredictable and it’s deeply personal. It’s a series of steps forward, often followed by a few steps back. But it’s through this very process that I’ve come to understand myself more deeply. And it’s this understanding, this shared experience of growth and healing, that inspired me to create WYSEbymonique.
Through my journey, I’ve come to see that healing isn’t just about the mind, it’s about the body and soul too. The soul isn’t easily defined; it’s something felt, not fully explained, guiding us through deeper layers of connection and healing. Integrating the awareness of soul is not a classic psychological concept, but rather it’s an invitation to explore on a deeper level your own unique perspective of life and what it means to be you. When the soul is mentioned throughout this blog it’s blended with psychological insight to reflect on the soul as being the essence of Self - who we are beyond our roles and identities.
This space is more than just a blog; it’s a reflection of the ongoing journey, learnings, and insights of my deep passion for understanding this connection so many of us, myself included, have disconnected from. I like to think of it as more of a journal, a safe place to share reflections and knowledge.
In the coming months, I’ll be traveling the world, opening myself to new experiences, teachings, and perspectives. I believe that our global community has so much to teach us about healing, trauma and connection. The more I learn, the more I understand that every culture has its own way of integrating the mind, body and soul, and I’m excited to learn from that diversity. My travels will undoubtedly shape my practice and deepen my understanding, and I’m eager to share the lessons and knowledge with you here. This journal will be a place to share those insights, and the wisdom I gather on my travels. It’s a space to explore the complexity of healing, the integration of mind, body, and soul, and an opportunity to reflect on how we can align more with our authentic selves.
As I take these next steps, I invite you to come along on this journey with me. We’re all in this together, and sometimes, all we need is a gentle reminder that we’re not alone on this path. It serves as a reminder that healing is possible, and it looks different for each and every one of us. It’s not about fitting yourself to a specific method, but rather exploring and connecting in with yourself to discover what resonates for you. And I’m here to support you through that process.
Thank you for being here, and I hope this space brings comfort, connection, and the reminder that we’re all always growing.
Love, WYSEbymonique
