My reaction to Sinead O Connor’s death

My reaction to Sinead O Connor’s death!

On 26th July 2023 Sinead O Connor passed away.

Her death really affected me.

More than any other series of posts I have written ever, I got so much reaction.

I didn’t set out to write this series of posts.

It just happened.
Like any writing, if it comes from the heart, it lands.

The words touch.

When there isn’t an agenda.

I had friends that I have met in person and friends, I have made online reach out to me and disclose to me that they were sexually abused or had experienced narcissistic abuse or were touched in some way by the posts even though they had not experienced sexual abuse or narcissistic abuse.

They reached out to me privately and individuals thanked me for writing honestly and from the heart.

I want to share them with you again on the death of Sinead’s anniversary.
If they touch you, I would like you to reach out to me privately especially if you have experienced child sexual abuse.
Memories of child sexual abuse cannot be navigated by yourself. My book Dancing with Darkness available on Amazon illustrates the case of what happens when you try to deal with it yourself. I would thoroughly recommend you purchase a copy as a first step in dealing with this experience that can weigh you down. I would urge you not to repress the emotions that arise from reading these posts. Facing the froth of emotions when you have experienced complex trauma is not easy and it takes the bold and the very brave to confront them, I understand the urge to avoid, deny and repress.

This was my reaction when Ì found out Sinead died.
This is what I wrote.

This is Post 1 from the series of posts that I wrote back in 2023.

____________________________

I AM SO SAD.
She was my age.
I danced to her music.
I bought most of her albums
I was shocked and not so shocked by her conversion to Islam
Seeing her sing Nothing Compares to you in hijab was surreal for me
Hearing some of the battles she had during her life and most recently again I was not surprised.

I pray she is at peace now she is with her creator.

From God we come and to God we return.

As a Transformational Coach and a Counsellor of survivors of child sexual abuse and a social worker for 3 decades, I am going to say one thing now you have read this article.

Especially if you have experienced child sexual abuse or narcissistic abuse or both.

Seek help and share your experience with a trusted professional. Tell a member of your family or a friend you trust.

DO NOT navigate this experience by yourself even when you are a trained healer, therapist, social worker, coach etc

You may be very good at helping others with the experience it doesn’t mean that you are good at helping yourself.

When it comes to our own problems, challenges and traumas, we have blind spots and so navigating the journey where we can find clarity, peace, release, takes longer and I believe is impossible.

On this website there is a contact form where you can ask me questions regarding your experience.

The best way for me to help you and I am going to be blunt here is for you to take a leap of faith and book a consultation with me.

Yes you can buy my book on Amazon which is a best seller in three countries.

It describes the story of Tamara Alvi who was sexually abused by her father at the age of 12 and who becomes a social worker and how she blocked the memory of her abuse.

Just go here to buy my book

When there is a calling, a screaming inside your soul to ACT to REACH out then I would LOVE you to reach out to me.

This Consultation will change your life.

It will NAME the underlying pattern that has kept you stuck for years and decades.

You will be stunned as to how you were so blind to what you were doing and understand why you did what you did

You are going to wake up that you have the power to change all along.

Taniya Hussain qualified as a Social Worker in 1991 from Coventry University in England, UK. She has been working on the front lines in London UK, consistently holding space for individuals and families in chaos and crisis for three decades especially, children and young people on the margins of society. Taniya studied Psycho-dynamic counselling from 1991 to 1993 at Goldsmiths College in London. Taniya met Sheikha Halima Krausen in 1992 and has been studying Islam with her ever since especially Mystical Islam, Tassawuf (Sufism) and walks on the Chisti path. Taniya fuses Jungian Pyschology and Islamic Psychology and this fusion can best be understood if you read her book Dancing with Darkness which is available on Amazon. It became a Best Seller on Amazon in the UK, U.S and France in April 2025. The book tells the story of Tamara Alvi, a fictional charachter and is a psychological thriller and a story of healing. Taniya started her coaching and consulting business in January 2018 and she works mainly with High Achievers and High Performers and High Performing Leaders, offering reflective spaces since 2018 and what she refers to as THE REFLECTIVE SPACE. Taniya since starting her busines discovered that she is a powerful healer and was shocked that clients were relieved from pain even though they have been diagnosed with a chronic illness. Taniya is delighted to have discovered Paceology, which is the detailed study of PACE. She is the first paceologist. She noticed when working with high performers when you slow down in one area of your life, this causes you to speed up in another area and vice cersa thus leading to increased levels of productivity, creativity, clarity and energy. She brands herself as the Muslim Alchemist because she really is The Muslim Alchemist as she guides you to transfom the base, in other words the shit that you have experienced into GOLD whether that is love of yourself or God or another human being or a healthier body or a life where you feel at peace and calm and fulfilled or more energy or more money. You definintely will feel lighter, more freer and more clearer even if you book one consultation with her or several sessions. Taniya has a very holistic approach when working with individuals and works with you on multiple layers, the emotional, the psychological, the social, the physical, the mental and the spriritual. She uses stories from the Quran and the Bible when working with clients on a one to one basis or in group workshops as well as breathwork, body scanning, cognitive behavioural therapy, neuro linguistic programming, motivational interviewing. systems theory, neuro science. She is trained in multiple modalities as well as using her own Paceology and insists on offering her clients a trauma informed and trauma responsive service. She is constantly integrating her knowledge of the Quran and Bible with her vast social work experience and training. Taniya's extensive ability of applying psycho-dynamic theory to organisational settings, teams and groups as well as to individuals results in those who attend her sessions or workshops as feeling lighter and more energised. Taniya uses skillfully her understanding of the Shadow, that Jung constantly talked about and her Mystical Training. She also has integrated her passion for inter-faith dialogue and the archetypes that Jung often refers to, come alive in her one to one sessions and her group workshops thus resulting in individuals feeling more freer and fulfilled after they stop working with her. Taniya just does not provide clarity she WAKES you up to. Taniya has a great skill in being able to see the blind spots in others and does this in a non judgemental way and a way that you feel safe. She also "untangles energetic knots" (a term she uses for Shadow) in your body to promote healing from mental and physical disease. Clients usually are healed in a short amount of time because she pinpoints the memory, the event, the thought that first caused the disease. She also provides one to one sessios or training workshops to social work teams, school, secure and prison estate on youth justice, knife crime prevention as well asidentification and prevention of early onset of burnout. Taniya has three sons, who were born in 1996, 2001 and 200 and lives in Surrey, England and when she is not coaching or writing songs, blogs and poems, she loves to spend time, travelling, walking, listening to music, watching films or playing cricket. She speaks fluent English and Urdu and basic German and French and is learning Arabic and Hebrew.
