This is All Parts,

Where we embrace all parts of the human experience.

All Parts is an exploration into healing and connecting back to authenticity and wholeness, with a healthy dose of skepticism along the way. It’s written and created by me, Eliza B., MA, MA, CCC, a registered psychotherapist, somatic coach, yoga & breathwork guide, and human being just trying to make sense of the world around me.

I spent my teens and early 20s in a fog of dissociation, depression, and disconnection without any obvious reasons why. I believed that these seemingly inexplicable symptoms must be an indication that something was inherently wrong with me and that I was subject to feeling this way for the rest of my life. 

Life has a funny way of bringing you what you need when you need it, which is how I found myself in San Francisco pursuing a Masters degree in Integrative Health Studies from the California Institute of Integral Studies. It was here where I first began studying the mind-body-spirit connection, trauma, and more holistic, alternative modalities to healing and health. 

I experimented and practiced everything I was learning on myself, and what I learned was that there actually wasn't anything wrong with me. I wasn't broken, I just held deep wounds, harmful patterns/behaviors, and unprocessed traumatic experiences below my level of conscious awareness that were wreaking havoc on my mental and physical well-being. I began to thaw from the functional freeze state I had grown accustomed to and began living a more intentional, purposeful, and engaged life. 

Since then I've completed a second Masters degree in Counseling Psychology and countless other trainings (click here to get the full list) to support you on your own journey back to your aliveness. 

My intention for this publication is to create place where we can come as we are. A place where we can explore the woes of the world and our roles in it. A place where we can get curious about our traumas and subsequent patterns and behaviors that our life experiences keep us stuck in. A place where we can dare to practice reconnecting to our Selves. A place where spirituality and science converge. A place where we can rest from capitalistic, patriarchal norms and expectations, if only for a moment. A place where we can fiercely exclaim our boundaries without guilt or shame. A place where we can feel our feelings with love and acceptance. 

A place where we can maybe, just maybe, start to live more alive than we ever thought possible.

I share everything on All Parts as a human first, therapist second. There is a need in today’s world for unfiltered truth; to strip away the facade of “expert” and to show up as a whole, perfectly imperfect person. In this way, I hope to deconstruct the patriarchal walls that keep mental health practitioners feeling isolated and scared to step into their full humanity.

*NOTE: that being said, if you are a client of mine and you prefer any details about my personal life be kept out of your conscious awareness, great! Please do not subscribe to this newsletter.
