Carol Hodge
Hello, and welcome to my practice. I’m so glad you are here.
Do things in your life feel not “quite right”? Do emotions, body sensations, and memories overwhelm you? Do you feel stuck in your relationships?
I know I have and I know that we can work together to help things feel less intense, heal wounds from the past, and create a future that is authentically and wonderfully you.
My first career was in the theatre and for as long as I can remember I have been deeply intrigued by stories and the intricate lives and relationships of people. I am invested in getting to know all parts of you. I believe that we as humans are made up of many different parts that create who we are, inform how we deal with challenges, and how we interact with the world around us.
Due to trauma and attachment wounds some of these parts have either taken over, been silenced or hidden, or maybe even feel completely out of control. We can work together to explore all the different parts of you, befriend them, and invite them to be in the world in a new and more adaptive way.
Together we co-create the story and vision of your future and I have the honour and privilege of working alongside you as you courageously move through some of what may be holding you back. You have innate wisdom and insight into what growth and movement looks like for you and I will support you in letting this guide the work we do together.
I strive to work from an anti-oppressive and trauma informed framework- this means that when looking at the parts of your life that you want to change, I see these changes, and your history as being a part of a larger systemic picture and how this may impact your daily life, mental health and wellness, relationships, and how you want to be in the future.
I am a queer, cisgender, white settler and was born and raised on the unceded, ancestral, and traditional territories of the xʷməθkwəy̓əm (Musqueam), Skwxwú7mesh (Squamish), S’ólh Téméxw (Stó:lō), and Səl̓ílwətaʔ/Selilwitulh (Tsleil-Waututh) Nations. My office is currently on the ancestral, and unceded territory of the hən̓qəmin̓əm̓ and Sḵwx̱wú7mesh speaking peoples. I use she/her pronouns.
When I’m not working (or chasing after my twin toddlers) I like to read books by the water, take naps as much as humanly possible, make delicious food, and spend time with friends and family.
