Is Tarot Right for You? 3 Signs You’re Ready for Insight
When “Maya” first arrived at Lilith, she described herself as “high-functioning but hollow.” A successful entrepreneur in her 30s, she was burned out, emotionally numb, and haunted by dreams she couldn’t explain. “I didn’t feel like I had trauma,” she said. “But I also didn’t feel like I was alive.”
Starting the Journey In her first sessions, Maya explored anxiety and disconnection. Her therapist used a combination of Internal Family Systems (IFS) and mindfulness practices to help her locate “parts” of herself she had pushed away: the angry teen, the perfectionist, the part that wanted to disappear.
What surprised Maya most wasn’t how much pain she found — but how much wisdom.
“I always thought healing meant fixing something. But the deeper I went, the more I realized: I was never broken. I had just been protecting myself.”
Integration & Expression
Maya’s therapy journey included:
- Somatic work to release held trauma
- Guided dreamwork and active imagination
- Breathwork in our monthly in-house circle
Six months in, she said she could finally breathe again — not just with her lungs, but “in her soul.”
“Lilith gave me language, space, and compassion for the parts of me I spent my life trying to hide. That’s what healing feels like.”
