She hasn't. And this is the process for finding your way back to her.
nervous system safety is the foundation, not an add-on.
Most emotional healing approaches ask you to process from within a nervous system that is still in survival mode. The Inner Safety Anchor creates the foundation that allows everything else to actually land and hold.
an overactive mind is a symptom of nervous system activation, not a thinking problem.
Challenging your thoughts when you're in survival mode is like trying to steer with the engine overheating. The Slow the Spiralling Mind Framework works at the level of the nervous system state that is generating the spiral — and slows it at the source.
identity reconnection requires the body, not just the mind.
Values exercises and goal-setting assume the self is already present enough to answer. Sacred Self Reconnection uses somatic practices to allow the self to come forward safely — and rebuild the internal trust that makes staying connected to yourself sustainable.
Catherine Evans is a trauma informed social worker, somatic practitioner and multiple intelligences, and facilitator of women's healing spaces based in Western Australia.
She holds a Degree in Social Work, a Diploma of Professional Coaching, and is certified in mBIT Coaching, Embodied Processing (Centre for Healing), and Level 3 Deep Brain Reorienting — specialised trainings that enables her to work with nervous system patterns and trauma responses at a body-led, somatic level rather than a purely cognitive one.
On paper, Catherine has the credentials. But what shapes her work most is her lived experience: two decades of raising four children including neurodivergent children with additional support needs, years of carrying emotional responsibility in her family system, and her own personal journey through chronic nervous system stress, self-disconnection, and eventually — through somatic healing — finding her way back to herself.
She built the Reclaiming Herself Map because it is the process she needed and couldn't find. And she has spent the last 2.5 years refining it with the mothers she supports.
