Unstoppable Women: Natasha Alexander

9/9/2016

On turning points, boundaries and Women Howling at the Moon
Dr Natasha Alexander is a clinical psychologist. She is also founder of Consentability, a vibrant new service providing provides education and advice on sexuality and relationships for adults with intellectual disabilities. ​

Here Natasha shares about a recent turning point in her own life; the importance of boundaries (this month's theme for the Women Howling at the Moon community); and the role of a women's empowerment community such as Women Howling at the Moon in her life.
"I had been following Chris and Women Howling at the Moon for a few months before I decided to be brave and turn up. I'm so glad I did. It is such a great feeling to be with a group of women of all ages and backgrounds, knowing that they have your back.

The session on courage was a real turning point for me, helping me to step out of my comfort zone and commit to my soul purpose.
Thoughts on boundaries​
As a clinical psychologist I do a lot of thinking about boundaries in my work. Even more so now that I am going to be specialising in sexuality and disability. There is more than just therapeutic boundaries to think about though. Our own personal boundaries, boundaries imposed on us by other people's values and beliefs, or those of the organisation we work for. 😀

I have had times where I have felt the burden of all that is wrong in the world, and felt hopeless and helpless. By creating a niche, a kind of boundary I guess, I am carving a space where I can focus and make change. Some boundaries need to stay in place to protect us, while others can be gently (or firmly) pushed and reshaped. Having the support of the awesome Chris and such an inspiring group of women has been so important in helping me to work it all out!"

Feeling like the burden is all on your back is normal. When I was still studying, I felt this too, because I was always chosen as the leader. Back at home, my family depended on me and always expect that I will not do anything that will lead to failure. This made me feel like I was not allowed to do anything anymore because they are always watching my actions. It felt as if I was carrying all of the problems on my own and I did not know how to fix it.
