How to Build Healthy Relationships Through Attachment Healing & Self-Awareness - Maya Dajon. Building a healthy relationship starts with understanding yourself. Before focusing on how others treat you, it helps to look at your own feelings, actions, and ways of connecting with people. In this conversation, Maya Dajon, founder of Chill Vibrations and an award-winning relationship practitioner, explains why self-awareness and personal growth are important parts of building stronger connections.
- Sometimes we understand what we need to change, but putting it into practice is not easy. We discuss how grounding techniques can help people become more aware of their feelings and reactions. These practices take time, patience, and regular effort, especially when they are new to your daily routine. Maya explains why body awareness matters and how learning to feel calm and centered can support better communication.
- Choosing between a wellness practitioner and a therapist can feel confusing when there are so many options. She encourages people to think about their activities of daily living, also known as ADLs. Maya also explains that wellness and clinical care serve different purposes, and recognizing those differences can help you find the right kind of guidance.
- There is no single path that works for everyone. She began her practice in wellness before expanding into clinical therapy, including specialized trauma-focused care such as EMDR. Her approach brings attention to the different levels of support people may need at different points in life. If you are looking for grounding, body awareness, relationship guidance, or help with trauma, understanding your options is an important first step.
What You Can Learn:
- Why understanding yourself is the foundation of healthier connections.
- How non-clinical wellness support differs from clinical mental health care.
- How grounding and body awareness can support emotional well-being.
