A little update - I’ve decided to split my writing into two clearer spaces after taking a bit of a step back over the last few months.

Since my Mum passed away in January, I’ve been recalibrating not just personally, but professionally too - thinking more deeply about the direction of my work, what feels aligned, and the conversations I most want to be having.

My client-facing Substack will continue exploring trauma, burnout, neurodivergence, eating disorders, perfectionism and The Good Person Trap™️ framework.

My therapist-facing space is now becoming The Good Therapist - a place to explore the hidden emotional cost of caring professions, burnout, morality, perfectionism, over-functioning and what it actually means to be “good” in this work.

At the core of both spaces is the idea behind The Good Person Trap - that many people build their identity around being helpful, responsible, self-sacrificing, emotionally contained or high-achieving as a way to stay safe, loved or accepted.

Over time, what once functioned as adaptation or survival can slowly become exhaustion, anxiety, resentment, burnout and loss of self.

The trap is that from the outside it often looks like success.
