Working With Marie:
Deconstruction Companion
What is Marie’s work?
Working with me is about deep exploration, clarity, and deconstruction. I’m not a therapist, and I don’t follow formal methodologies or structured programs. Instead, I offer a space for collaborative conversation where we can unpack your experiences, emotions, and beliefs. Together, we’ll navigate the themes you choose to deconstruct, with no set agenda, just a shared exploration of what’s real for you.
I’m not here to give you answers or tell you what to do. I’m here to help you find your own clarity, offer words to articulate your pain, and help you make sense of your emotional landscape. This isn’t a transactional experience—it's a partnership where your autonomy is central, and your truth unfolds on your terms.
If you're in the midst of deconstructing your identity, exploring emotional embodiment, or integrating new perspectives into your life, this process might resonate with you.
Areas of Focus
I work best with those who are navigating:
✔ Deconstruction & Identity Exploration – Untangling the beliefs, conditioning, and narratives that shaped you, and supporting you as you reclaim your authentic sense of self.
✔ Emotional Literacy & Embodiment – Learning to recognize and integrate emotions as bodily experiences, rather than abstract concepts.
✔ Existential Exploration – Unpacking the big questions, navigating life’s uncertainties, and engaging with the evolving nature of your worldview.
✔ Religious Trauma & Post-Religious Reconstruction – Processing the impact of fundamentalist beliefs and the journey of self-reclamation after religious conditioning.
✔ Self-Trust & Autonomy – Moving beyond external validation and fear to cultivate an internal compass that feels true and aligned with your evolving sense of self.
✔ Personal Evolution & Integration – Developing clarity on your personal evolution while staying grounded, without getting lost in the process.
My Approach
I’m not here to give you a one-size-fits-all solution. I’m here to support you as you explore what’s most important to you, offering deep listening, validating your experiences, and helping you articulate your pain and growth. My approach is co-exploratory—where your self-discovery is the focus, and I’m here to be a companion along the way, not a guide.
✔ Overthinking to Understanding – Breaking through mental loops and reframing your identity with clarity and purpose.
✔ Disconnection to Embodiment – Learning to reconnect with your body and emotions in a real, grounded way.
✔ Fear to Self-Trust – Supporting you in letting go of external conditioning and building trust in your own instincts.
✔ Confusion to Integration – Helping you navigate your personal evolution without feeling lost or overwhelmed by it.
I bring my own lived experience to the table—someone who’s been through my own process of deconstruction and reassembling. I’ll share my insights, but I won’t impose them on you. I am a fellow traveler on the same path of self-discovery and emotional reclamation.
Who I Work With
This is for you if:
You’re deconstructing your identity, beliefs, or emotional world, and need a clear, open space to explore what’s real for you.
You struggle with embodiment, emotional regulation, or trusting your own experiences and need support in navigating this.
You’re ready for candid, deep conversations that don’t push you into new dogmas but help you break free from old patterns.
You need support in rebuilding your life after leaving restrictive ideologies or systems of belief that no longer serve you.
I don’t offer traditional therapy, nor do I aim to become a credentialed coach. Instead, I offer myself as a raw, honest human who has walked through the depths of my own self-reconstruction. I’m here to offer you tools, insights, and a safe space for your own process of self-exploration. I share from my own lived experiences, while creating room for you to make sense of your own.
