More of my reaction regarding Sinead O Connor’s death!

Comment

Some of my thoughts on Sinead O Connor’s passing away.

Which I got really affected by.

For so many reasons

Her voice was in my head the day after she died.

That powerful voice.

I LOVED her music.

1990 was when I was dancing away to that track.

And I loved her music after the success of the 1990s too.

She died 18 months after her son died committing suicide.

He ran away from hospital whilst on suicide watch and soon committed suicide.

At age 17.

As a mum of three sons myself, I know she must have died of a broken heart.

You see when you are hurting that is one thing but when your child is hurting that is a whole other level.

There is a pain and angst only those who have children with mental health and physical health difficulties understand.

We seek solace from other parents who are going through the same thing.

I know when my middle son was diagnosed with Developmental Language Disorder in 2013, only my brother and sister in law understood as their son had been diagnosed with ASD and then when I met the other parents of the Special school he attended, a bond was formed.

Mental health of boys and men is not something many talk about.

A few do but not many

That is why my Online Consulting Business is open to boys and men as well as girls and women and those who are transgender or who do not have a gender.
Gay or Straight or Asexual or Bisexual I do not discriminate.

My very first Online client was a 19 year old boy who had not slept for two years.

I am also struck by something I read in the Metro today.
Sinead said “her mental health battles were sparked because her mother physically and sexually abused her as a child. Born in Dublin in December 1966, she was put into a corrective school at 15 for stealing. But a nun saw her talent and bought her a guitar.”

Sinead was a High Achiever who was not at peace even when she converted to Islam in 2018 she received alot of Islamaphobia.

Sinead was like a lot of the young people I work with as a social worker in my day job, traumatised by very abusive parent and rebelling by offending and she was like alot of the High Achievers I work with in my Business despite being very successful still seeking that inner peace.

Because sexual abuse, physical abuse and emotional abuse robs you of peace.

And being abused by your mother a taboo many do not want to even talk about in therapeutic circles is a double whammy.

I pray Sinead you are at peace now with God

Having your heart broken once is one thing

Having that trust taken once is bad enough

But having your heart broken twice

OMG

Sinead

RIP

________________________________
More than any other content I have shared online, I got so much reaction regarding this content on Sinead O Connor.

I didn’t set out to write this content.

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 met 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 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 these articles with you again on the death of Sinead’s anniversary. She died on 26th July 2023.
If they touch you, especially if you have experienced child sexual abuse and they trigger memories of child sexual abuse to come to the fore, remember these 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 child sexual abuse by 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.

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.
