Hi I’m Gita
I moved to New Zealand when I was 12, leaving behind the people and community I had always known. Everything was so different. I couldn't speak the language, and I felt lost.
Even though people were kind, I was often thinking, Am I saying this right? Do people understand me? What are they thinking of me? There was a fear of getting it wrong. Sometimes I was afraid to speak because I didn't want to say the wrong thing.
It took time, but eventually I learned the language and made connections.
I remember being able to just be myself again.
Years later, I found myself feeling stuck
in a similar way.
I could speak the language now, so why was I still asking myself, What do people think of me? Will they judge me?
No matter what language I was speaking, I was saying yes when I wanted to say no, staying quiet when I wanted to speak, and feeling frustrated that I couldn't express myself or do the things I wanted to do.
I didn't understand what was going on. I just knew it was affecting different areas of my life. I kept myself small, avoided disagreement, and put other people's needs before my own. I started to wonder if something was wrong with me.
My own experience with RTT®
and hypnotherapy
Underneath the fear, I learned that I was carrying a belief: If I was judged, I wouldn't be accepted. And if I wasn't accepted, it meant I wasn't enough just as I was.
Suddenly, it made so much sense. Keeping myself small, avoiding disagreement, and putting other people's needs before my own had become my way of trying to feel accepted. To feel like I was enough.
Becoming aware of these patterns helped me understand myself more deeply. It shifted the way I saw myself, what I believed about myself, and what I believed was possible for me.
Today, I help people who may feel stuck in patterns they don't fully understand, whether that's anxiety, self-doubt, overthinking, people pleasing, or something they can't quite put into words yet.
Sometimes, understanding what’s underneath can be the beginning of seeing yourself differently and opening up to what might be possible for you.
