The Rooted and Rewritten Blog

 

Welcome to Rooted & Rewritten—A blog about therapy, identity, and the quiet courage of change.

We don’t just grow—we rewrite.
Sometimes slowly, across seasons of dislocation, discomfort, or discovery.
Sometimes all at once, in a moment that shakes the ground beneath us.

Rooted & Rewritten is a space for those inner rewritings:
—where therapy becomes more than insight,
—where living abroad becomes more than adventure,
—where the search for home becomes a return to self.

Here, I explore what it means to heal across borders—geographical, emotional, generational.
As a therapist and a woman living far from where I began, I reflect on stories from the therapy room and the spaces between cultures, where we are most called to grow.

This blog is for the curious, the sensitive, the seekers and self-questioners.
It’s for anyone who's ever asked:
Who am I when I’m not who I used to be?
How do I stay soft in a world that asks me to harden?
Can I belong to myself—no matter where I am?

Welcome.
Let’s root deeper.
Let’s rewrite, together.
