What is this work about?

 

This work is about getting connected to your intuition again. We are programmed from a VERY young age to look outside ourselves for love, safety, and guidance. Some of this is built into our biology because we are entirely dependent on caregivers for basic human needs for the first 18 years of our lives. We adapt to have certain behaviors to please those caregivers so we don’t find ourselves alone, homeless, or starving. As we grow and evolve into mature adults we no longer need these adaptive strategies to survive, and we often find that they impede our ability to function as our full selves. In fact we find that healing is all about returning ourselves to the way we were before we developed those adaptive survival strategies. And how do we do that? 

 

• We witness ourselves (our programming, our adaptive strategies, our beliefs about ourselves) with awareness

• We meet and learn to love our inner kiddo

• We learn to identify and really feel our feelings

• We remember that we are, every one of us, just made of love

 

This work is about looking at yourself with awareness, maybe for the first time and seeing the ways in which you have dehumanized, judged, and dissociated from you. It’s about seeing where you are negating your needs for the needs of others and running your cup dry. 

This work is about reconnecting you with you. It’s about slowing the process of feeling down and introducing the concept of witnessing. We cannot POSSIBLY make real change in our lives if we are operating with blindspots in our behaviors, so much of this work is remaining lovingly open to identifying when we are in a blindspot. This work is not about being a failure. It’s about acquiring a new tool set.
