Heidi Di Santo

Heidi's Counselling

Heidi Di Santo is a truly empathic and passionate counsellor who inspires and empowers people to look within to find self love, self acceptance and ultimately inner peace. She has an ability to hone in on the real issues and truly understand how it is for you and practices a combination of Person-Centred-Counselling, Hypnosis and Breathwork Therapy.

Heidi’s work differs from many traditional forms of therapy because it directs you to move towards your problem and ‘open Pandora’s Box’, which is the fearful unknown in relation to your emotions, rather than moving away from them with the use of anti-depressants or techniques that block feeling. In this way, old pains and traumas are fully felt and fully resolved and the effects are ever lasting. Essentially, Heidi treats the cause of the problem rather than just the symptoms.

Why Do We Suppress Emotions?

Emotions are purely energy wanting to move through your body. But when you suppress your emotions, you block your energy flow and create pain in your body. So why do people suppress emotion? I think the reason is because in our society we tend to judge things, including emotions, as good or bad, right or wrong, positive or negative. For instance, good emotions might be expressions of happiness, excitement and passion. Whereas bad emotions might be expressions of sadness, anger and fear.

The problem is not with the emotion, the problem is with the judgment of the emotion. When you judge something, you divide your world into two. Judgment makes one thing right and another thing wrong and whatever you make wrong, you resist, hence a tendency towards suppression of these negative feelings. But as emotions are purely energy wanting to move through your body, they are neither good nor bad, they just ‘ARE’.
