It seems like
I'm not doing anything,but I'm energetically
at work.
Hi, I’m Sam, 47 years old, and the driving force behind A Simple Mind.
I come from a generation where the word “psychologist” or “therapist” was rarely spoken. If you had to go in that direction, you were considered “completely crazy.” Most of us simply ignored our problems and carried on, as best as we could.
My life started on a carefree cloud, where I unconsciously went through life happily. By the age of 33, I was traveling the world for my work in research and design, constantly busy. I didn’t see a problem, and therefore, there wasn’t one 😉
The turning point came after an intense physical birth process with my daughter. While the world congratulated me on the arrival of this little miracle, the ‘global citizen’ in me had already taken flight. Suddenly, everything felt different: Through the deep connection with my body and my daughter’s, I realized I had been living in a ‘light bubble’ for years. I had simply cut out all the tough stuff and disconnected from my body for convenience. The small detail? That joyful bubble would often burst physically: I’d get pneumonia almost every year and struggled to gain weight, even though I ate a lot. (Being overweight is not ideal, but constantly being asked if you eat enough is far from great).
As a mother, with my feet firmly on the ground, it felt like my body was now releasing unresolved issues like a volcano erupting. The time had come to live through it. I had no choice but to say goodbye to my company, my career, and my old life.
I decided to pursue a master’s in psychotherapy and energetic bodywork, inspired by NASA researcher Barbara Brennan and her school of healing.
This was my first step toward better understanding myself. Over the seven years of my studies, I became more and more interested in the human being. I discovered how important it is to feel, truly feel, stay grounded, and build a loving relationship with both your body and mind.
What I’ve learned from my slow process is that when I feel safe and seen, I find the courage to explore painful experiences, process them, and ultimately heal. This frees me from the terrifying ‘dictators’ in my head that constantly push me in the wrong direction. I stand firmer on the path I want to walk. The simpler my thoughts, the smoother this process becomes.
Right now, I see many young people who are struggling, but I also notice how brave, aware, and wise many of them already are. Today’s youth is making changes that previous generations couldn’t even imagine. I find this incredibly inspiring!
We don’t always choose the moments that shape us into who we are, but we do choose whether to carry them as burdens or transform them into fertile, loving ground.
