17: Finding Hope in the Face of Life’s Greatest Challenges

Karen Campion is one of my very favorite people. She’s a holistic therapist and her inner child and alternative therapies have helped so many people find peace and freedom from pain in their lives. I’ve invited her to join us today to share her amazing story of recovery from a life of incredible pain, and her journey through her own inner child connection that lead her to physical recovery. My deepest hope for this conversation is that you’re able to see Karen’s story as a model for your own road...

15- Tapping Your Way to Pain-Free with EFT

I can’t wait for you to hear this podcast—it may be the most fun I’ve had hearing Pete have his mind blown! This week, we’re talking about EFT, or “Emotional Freedom Technique.” You may have heard of it referred to as tapping for short, and it’s one of my favorite tools for helping my clients break free from anxiety, depression, generalized stress — even physical pain and performance issues! It involves tapping along your meridian system with your fingertips — the very same meridians you may be familiar with in acupuncture...

11: Codependency: I’m OK if You’re OK

Codependency represents a range of social and emotional behaviors generally described as an emotional or psychological reliance on another — a spouse, partner, teacher, friend, and so on — where the well-being of one is connected to the well-being of another. I’m only OK if you’re OK. But codependency is a sign that we may not be living from our adult chair. This week, we take on codependent behavior from the perspective of the chairs and talk about how stunted emotional growth can keep us living in our adolescent when it comes...

10: Anxiety & Fear — In Practice with “Lola”

Anxiety is a demon. It is the state in which we live uncomfortably between a past we will never have again, and a future fraught with uncertainty. But growing a stronger relationship with our inner-adolescent can pay dividends far beyond casual nerves. This week on The Adult Chair, Michelle Chalfant and Pete Wright discuss anxiety and fear, demonstrated through the courage of “Lola” — a woman learning to combat the anxiety in her own life, willing to work with Michelle while being recorded to share here. Thanks to Lola, and...

9: Addressing Addictions

Addictions are subtle, insidious monsters, and they can take roost inside all of us. We’re not just talking about the addictions we see in movies or television. We’re not just talking about the addictions we sleight, either. We’re talking about our broad human inability to deal with pain, and how that pain manifests in our lives in destructive ways. This week on the show, Michelle leads us through the high-level story of addiction and shares techniques for spotting addictive behavior and uncovering the pain that sits beneath the surface. It’s a...

5: Addressing our Triggers

Happy holidays to all! And with the holiday season upon us, let’s make a collective promise to keep cool heads as we’re tossed in all sorts of crazy directions! To do that, we have to understand our triggers. Triggers are the emotionally charged reactions that we have when our comfortable state of “normal” is somehow tested. Someone cut you off recklessly on the highway? Did you feel that surge of anger? That’s a trigger. Did you find out all your friends were invited to a holiday party and you weren’t? Did...

4: The Adult Chair

Over the past two weeks, our conversation has centered on the child and adolescent chairs, moving from the creativity and trust of the child to the judgment and doubt of the adolescent. Today, we take on our namesake, the adult chair. The adult speaks in truth and fact. The adult is conscious, connected to the higher self. The adult is our keen observer, rational, and patient. This week, we offer an exploration of the adult, and share insights into how the adult supports our growth from child and adolescent every day. MORE...

3: The Adolescent Chair

The adolescent represents the formative emotional years erupting from the child. The adolescent is developing the ego, conceptualizing right and left brain activity, and is tested through new experiences of fear. But there are some terrific strengths of the adolescent, and coming to terms with this part of us can bring greater balance and overall emotional health. This week on The Adult Chair, we talk about the critical developmental milestones of the adolescent and provide a foundation for understanding when we’re getting stuck in our adolescent chair as adults. MORE ADULT CHAIR: The...

2: The Child Chair

As humans, we’ve worked for years to understand our inner child and the role the child plays in our adult psyche. It can be an enormous and elusive challenge, facing our child as we struggle with what challenges us as adults. Why is understanding the role of the child important to our overall emotional balance and health? This week on The Adult Chair, Michelle introduces us to the child chair and brings into focus the path we can take to discover our relationship with our own inner child as we...
