MD to Freedom - Reclaiming your imagination  

Ciao, I’m Teresa.
If you’ve found yourself here, you’re likely someone who dreams alot and wonders what’s wrong with you.
I used to wonder that too.

I lived in my imagination for as long as I can remember.

 

33 years in fact!

 

As a child, it was my sanctuary from pain, from loneliness, from the noise of the world.

 

My inner world was vivid and beautiful, full of stories, comforting characters, and entire alternate reality where I could feel safe, seen, and loved.

But as I grew older, that sanctuary became a trap.

​

I couldn’t stop daydreaming. I struggled to be present. I lost hours, even days, in my mind and it wasn’t peaceful anymore.

It was painful.

I felt ashamed, isolated, and I also hurt many people around me.

 

After therapy and doing deep inner work, I realised, there wasn't in fact anything wrong with me - I was surviving.

 

That’s when I discovered there’s a name for what I’d been living with: Maladaptive Daydreaming.

 

During my therapy and inner work I slowly, gently, began to heal.

 

Now, I’m reclaiming my imagination.

 

Not by shutting it down, but by learning how to use it with purpose.

 

I still dream.

 

I still create.

 

But now, I’m here, rooted, awake and I want to help you find that too.
