Let’s Unearth Your Imara!
“When there is no enemy within, the enemies outside cannot hurt you.”
—African Proverb
Imara is a Swahili word for resilience or strong. I believe in self-empowerment and empowering support, like psychotherapy to build someone up and help them regain control over their life. Empowerment leads to self-confidence, autonomy, and internal strength.
The butterfly exemplifies the power of change and renewal, reminding us that transformation is not easy and requires strength. Change is possible regardless of what we have gone through or are currently experiencing. Butterflies' transformation can reflect the human experience.
Caterpillars eat and grow during the cocoon stage, shedding their old selves to become healthier. Similarly, we can also shed our old selves to become better.
The cocoon stage is difficult - the caterpillar dissolves before becoming a butterfly. Like the butterfly, we can break free from our cocoons and reveal our beauty to the world. This is an excellent analogy for anyone ready for a new beginning. Transformation requires strength, but it is possible regardless of what we have gone through. Change is possible. Are you ready?
