The Michelle Chalfant Show Life from the Adult Chair

43: Living Through Cancer in The Adult Chair

This is another of our very special episodes! Connie is a client and dear friend and has joined me today for a conversation around her experience from the beginning of her diagnosis with aggressive breast cancer, through resolution. We talk about how we use The Adult Chair model to help us navigate trauma not just in recovery, but in the process of experiencing it. As Connie says, “It helped me feel like I wasn’t just thrown to the wolves in this, that I was in balance, and brought me back...

39: Addiction & Forgiveness in the Home

This week’s show comes courtesy of a listener with some incredibly important questions around addiction, living with family suffering from addictive behaviors, and forgiving an emotionally distant parent. These are HUGE questions, as you can imagine, but unfortunately all too familiar issues for so many of us. We have a two-part answer on the show. First, my own story, which I hope you can relate to and learn from. Second, I offer some of the tools and the framework you’ll need to move through the chairs, and walk through negative feelings...

36: Mindfulness and Sitting in Our Negative Emotions

You can’t heal negative emotions. They exist, and we all move in and out of them throughout our days, weeks … our whole lives. But with an understanding of the power of mindfulness, it is possible to come to terms with our negative emotions, and to find peace, solace, and understanding. This week on the show, we’re talking about both the internal and external tools you can use to sit in your negative emotions free of judgment and shame. Join us for this conversation, and let’s all invite our emotions...

26: Boundaries vs Confrontation

“If I don’t learn to take care of myself, who will?” Boundaries and confrontations are two very different things. One teaches others how we want to be treated and the other is getting in someone’s face to elicit change. Which one sounds better to you? In this podcast, we discuss the difference between the two and what, how, and why it’s important to learn how to set effective boundaries. Unfortunately, most of us weren’t taught how to set boundaries so when we are faced with upsets or hurt we typically do one...

23: How Do I Find My Adult Chair in the Middle of an Emotional Storm?

The concept of the Adult Chair is simple. We live in the moment, in fact, and truth, set healthy boundaries, feel empowered and we become an observer of our lives (and not stuck in the drama) and make decisions for our lives. Sounds like a wonderful idea, right!? What happens when we get stuck? When we feel overwhelmed, not in our bodies, scared, can’t think straight, afraid to make the wrong decision, etc. How then can I bring in my adult? In today’s podcast we discuss ways to do this. To find...

22: Walking the Spiritual Path: Finding Peace in a Pile of Crap

Walking the spiritual path is not easy. It’s not instant. It takes practice and dedication. These are the truths of awakening that sometimes plague those on the hunt for instant gratification. More often than not, it’s less a field of wildflowers than it is a pile of crap! But walking the spiritual path is a journey of reward! In spite of the work and attention required, in all the years I’ve been working with individuals on their own journey, once I’ve seen people truly find their path, I’ve never seen them...

21: Grounding and the Energy of the Earth with Sarah Weiss

We are beings of energy. It’s how we get up and out of bed in the morning, how we make it through our days, and how we recharge in sleep at night. Our state of being — and our ability to heal — is largely dependent on the way we are able to channel and process our energy. That’s why I’m so excited to have Sarah Weiss of the SpiritHeal Institute on the show with us today. With Sarah, I’d like to introduce the concept of grounding on the show,...

18: Healing the Mother Wound

Timing is everything, right? And just in time for Mother’s Day, we have an amazing conversation with an amazing woman and healer. Bethany Webster joins us on The Adult Chair to introduce us to the Mother Wound. Stemming from our early years — birth to 7 — the mother wound can dramatically impact our most important relationships, from our relationship with our selves, to our partners and spouses, to our children as they grow up. This week on the show, we introduce the powerful concepts that drive healing of the...
