My name is Saja Abdelaziz—When I first graduated, I worked in teaching children, and this made me deal with children, their fathers, and their mothers. I noticed and focused on relationship patterns and how childhood shapes our relationships with ourselves and others until we grow up. This was the first step in a new journey to understand myself more.
Later, I studied therapeutic school curricula and deep psychology (Deep Psychology). Now, I work in emotional therapy and sound healing, known as Sound Healing. I started working on myself for years, and gradually I began to befriend myself. Before that, I didn’t know what it meant to accept myself entirely with all its aspects and parts. What does it mean to connect with my true self?
Then I entered the field of emotional therapy and realized that the thing that most hinders and stops a person is themselves and the story they choose to live in. Sometimes someone else writes the story for them, and they believe it and agree with it.
In my journey of working on myself, I began to get to know myself, love myself, accept myself, observe myself, and be kind to myself. I felt that everything is actually an answer, not outside of me—the important thing is that I can see this.
I learned that there are other ways to heal and maintain mental health besides talk therapy. These ways will help me understand and free myself from everything I was carrying and teach me to connect with the present moment, here and now.
It’s important for a person to embrace the beauty within them, live by their values, and learn tools in life that build inner psychological resilience to face life’s challenges. One of the most important fundamentals of life’s journey is continuity, perseverance, and enjoyment.
