Velvet Vale - (Adults) | TeaWithTeresaTheHatter

Welcome to Velvet Vale, in InnerWonderland. This is a place to wander inward , through storyled therapeutic journeys, guided audios and journal prompts designed to help you explore your own InnerWonderland with curiosity. Take your time. There really is no rush here. And if you'd rather have someone alongside you, you can book a one-to-one session, or simply come and rest with me for a relaxation and regulation session, over on the Services page. But for now, have a little look around

“Oh! You're new.” “I'm Spickle. I like questions. Especially the ones that begin with... What if? What if you tried? What if you changed your mind? What if you don't actually need to know what you're becoming yet? Everyone seems terribly interested in having things figured out. I prefer possibility. So if you find yourself wondering... Could I? Should I? Am I allowed? Come and find me. We'll poke around in the possibilities together. Just don't tell Grummy I borrowed his magnifying glass.”

“Oh, hello.
I'm Grummy, Grummy the Muddlekin, actually.

I collect things.
Lost things. Forgotten things. Bits people didn't want anymore.

Everyone's always throwing perfectly interesting things away because they're broke, messy, or don't quite fit where they used to.

But I don't think something has to be perfect to belong.
Sometimes it just needs looking at differently.

People are a little like that too, you know.
We leave bits of ourselves behind for all different reasons.

Sometimes because they hurt.
Sometimes because somebody made us feel they weren't welcome.
Sometimes because we had to become something else for a while, just to get through.
And sometimes... we simply forget they were ever ours.

But forgotten doesn't mean gone.

Those pieces can still be there, tucked away somewhere inside us, waiting to be noticed again.

I don't think we need to force them back into the places they used to fit.
Maybe that's not where they belong anymore.

Maybe we can pick them up, turn them over, get curious about them...
and decide for ourselves what we'd like to do with them now.

That's sort of what I do with my collection.

Nothing has to be perfect here.
Nothing has to match.
And nothing gets thrown away just because it's a little muddled.

That's why they call me Grummy the Muddlekin, I suppose.”

GRUMMY -

A small InnerWonderland creature drawn to the things that become lost, forgotten, misplaced or muddled — memories, feelings, forgotten dreams, little pieces of ourselves and even ordinary lost things.

Muddlekins have a habit of collecting these things, not because everything needs to be returned or fixed, but because sometimes something that has been forgotten simply wants to be noticed again.

And Grummy is a Muddlekin

“Oh, hello.I'm Serapha.I was wondering when you might find your way here.You see, there are some journeys that don't need to be rushed.

Some things need time.Space.A little quiet.And somewhere safe enough to become curious.

That's why I wanted to tell you about the Self-Paced Story-Led Audio Therapy Sessions.Each session begins with a specially created story-led, hypnosis-based audio journey, designed to gently invite you into your InnerWonderland.

Somewhere beneath all the noise and thinking, there are feelings, memories, patterns, beliefs and different parts of you that may have something to show you.

You don't need to go looking for them.

You don't need to dig anything up.

And you certainly don't need to force yourself somewhere you're not ready to go.

Just listen.

Notice.

And allow your own InnerWonderland to respond in whatever way feels natural to you.

Afterwards, you'll find journal prompts to help you become curious about what you noticed , what you felt, what appeared, what surprised you, or perhaps what didn't appear at all.

There are no right answers.

This is your psychology.

Your experiences.

Your inner world.

And perhaps, little by little, you'll begin noticing how the pieces connect.

Greater awareness.

A deeper understanding of yourself.

New ways of supporting your nervous system.

And choices about what you'd like to carry with you into your OuterWonderland.

The loveliest part?You can do it in your own time.

Pause.

Return. Journal. Rest.
