InsideOUT mentoring with Donna Stichbury
Healing attachment wounds, calming your nervous system and building secure relationships from the inside out.
Before you begin
Healing is not a staircase you climb once and finish. It moves more like a spiral. You will meet these same steps again and again as you grow, each time with a little more capacity and a little less charge. If you find yourself back at Step 1 after months of steady progress, that is not failure. That is the nervous system doing exactly what it is designed to do.
Key Principle
InsideOUT integrates mind, body and relational dynamics in a structured yet personalised process. Growth unfolds in cycles, not straight lines. As capacity expands, deeper wounds emerge, inviting renewed integration. True security develops through progressive alignment across internal work, shadow integration, somatic regulation and relational practice.
How I work
Safety comes first. We start with a Zoom coffee chat where you can ask all your questions.
We work in blocks. Many people find relief, get back to life, and return later for deeper levels.
You become your own mentor. I give you the skills to do this yourself, without needing constant sessions.
Want to hear how this works for real people?
You do not walk through these steps once. You spiral through them, again and again, at deeper layers.
Safety & Orientation
Prep for healing. Creating a foundation of safety before exploring triggers or wounds. Essential for highly dysregulated clients.
Being Triggered & Understanding Core Wounds
Recognising triggers as nervous system signals, not personal flaws.
Healing Core Wounds
Losing emotional charge. Reducing the grip of core wounds on your nervous system.
Nervous System Regulation
Preparing the body to heal. Only a regulated nervous system can process wounds safely.
Meeting Your Own Needs
Stepping out of unconsciously relying on others to fill gaps. Reduces triggers and reactivity.
Knowing Attachment Style & Traits
Self awareness reduces judgment, shame and guilt. It lays the groundwork for relational integration.
Integration
Internal and relational security. Bringing internal work into relational life for full integration.
Communication & Expressing Needs
Applying internal security outward. Uncovers hidden wounds.
Boundaries & Complex Needs
Expanding relational security by navigating complexity.
Shadow Work
Integrating suppressed or disowned parts of self.
Somatic Work
Releasing stuck energy, regulating the nervous system, and supporting sustainable integration.
Maintenance & Relapse Prevention
Healing is cyclical. Triggers will return, and that return is part of the process, not a departure from it.

Let's start with a coffee chat
Before we work together, I invite you to book a Zoom coffee chat. It is your chance to ask all your questions, and it matters because safety needs to be established before we begin. Everything else in this guide is built on that foundation.
