I've been fascinated with how people change and don't change over the last 30 years. There is some stickiness in ourselves and others I think we'd all like to feel the power to transform. I've realized that fears about the sense of self not being good enough, lovable, or valuable knock us out of our connection to our internal core values, right in the moment where our core values would transform the situation. Contemplate when you let yourself down and don't follow through with what you know you want to do. Reflect on the times you've needed compassion and only received an evaluation. How would you change all this stickiness?
The good news is it is entirely possible. You can transform your fears, resentments, and relationships by taking some simple yet profound internal actions, before you take external actions. The world has taught us that taking external actions like judging, being right, and avoiding is the way to settle our nervous systems inside. Doesn't work, doe it?
You're looking for something that you can know is true and feel good about. Discover ways to Transform your internal stuck state first , so you can get what you want much easier within yourself and within your relationships. I specialize in childhood/developmental trauma, complex PTSD, relationships, and body-centered awareness. Come find true self.
