This was holistic medicine before the phrase existed. It understood the person in their environment, their relationships, their inner life - all the ecosystems they intersected with, impacted and were impacted by. And yet, when I became ill in my thirties, neither my family nor the...]]></description><link>https://www.sabahsharmapsychotherapy.com/post/colonisation-and-the-loss-of-our-own-wisdom-1</link><guid isPermaLink="false">6a5ddd6be447e3bde58c16d0</guid><pubDate>Mon, 20 Jul 2026 08:33:49 GMT</pubDate><dc:creator>Sabah Sharma</dc:creator></item><item><title><![CDATA[On living between worlds]]></title><description><![CDATA[I was born in Delhi, grew up in Dubai, and have spent my adult life in the UK. I have never lived in a place that was fully mine. This experience — of belonging partially everywhere and completely nowhere — is one of the most common things I hear in my work. It arrives under many names: the migrant experience, the third-culture childhood, the code-switching professional, the queer person who learned to edit themselves for every room, the person from a racialised community navigating...]]></description><link>https://www.sabahsharmapsychotherapy.com/post/on-living-between-worlds-1</link><guid isPermaLink="false">6a5ddd3be447e3bde58c1665</guid><pubDate>Mon, 20 Jul 2026 08:33:00 GMT</pubDate><dc:creator>Sabah Sharma</dc:creator></item><item><title><![CDATA[Don't be you — and what it costs]]></title><description><![CDATA[In Transactional Analysis (TA), we talk about injunctions — the early messages we absorb, often wordlessly, about who it is safe or acceptable to be. One of the most common, and most quietly devastating, is: don't be you. It doesn't arrive as a direct instruction. It comes through a raised eyebrow, a redirected ambition, a family system that needs you to be a particular shape. It comes through cultures that, fractured by colonisation, lost their original language for the full complexity of a...]]></description><link>https://www.sabahsharmapsychotherapy.com/post/don-t-be-you-and-what-it-costs-1</link><guid isPermaLink="false">6a5ddcf507012931ee183336</guid><pubDate>Mon, 20 Jul 2026 08:31:51 GMT</pubDate><dc:creator>Sabah Sharma</dc:creator></item><item><title><![CDATA[When the body knows before you do]]></title><description><![CDATA[In the summer of 2011, my body stopped mid-workday and refused to move. I didn't yet have the language for what was happening — the connection between stress, self-silencing, and physical pain. I just knew something had to change. Fibromyalgia, my neurologist told me. And then, more importantly: the choice to address the root, or manage the symptoms forever. I chose the root. It took over a decade. What I know now — and what I try to bring into my work — is that the body is not a separate...]]></description><link>https://www.sabahsharmapsychotherapy.com/post/when-the-body-knows-before-you-do-1</link><guid isPermaLink="false">6a5ddc48e447e3bde58c1420</guid><pubDate>Mon, 20 Jul 2026 08:29:22 GMT</pubDate><dc:creator>Sabah Sharma</dc:creator></item></channel></rss>
