The Michelle Chalfant Show
Life from the Adult Chair
Many people think acceptance is weak or it’s something we do when we are defeated. It’s actually the opposite. There is great power in acceptance. It’s a choice we make from a clear intentional place within. When we do this our drama or anger can be done and gone. In today’s show, I speak with you about accepting things we are not happy about, things we cannot change, and how our lives can transform with acceptance.

After four years of this podcast, I felt like it was time for a refresher of the three chairs. In this show, I discuss where the Adult Chair model came from and a review of the three chairs. For longtime listeners, this will reinforce your knowledge of the Adult Chair. For new listeners, this will help you to build a foundation for this model. Either way, it’s filled with great information about the three chairs!

Abandonment can leave an incredible wound inside of us. We do our best to bury it and not feel that pain but it leaves its mark on us. We move through life unconsciously guarded and ready for abandonment to happen again. We want to be free of this wound but don’t know-how. In today’s show, I go over the two types of abandonment and offer steps to heal this wound.

There is huge power in owning our reality, yet most of us don’t know-how. We hide behind masks to cover our true selves up and show up in the world how we think others want us to be. This can be exhausting and so wearing on us. In this show, I speak about the power in owning your reality and the benefits of doing so.

When we experience a trauma, there is a part of us that can get stuck in time, yet we continue to physically grow. Part of the work of the Adult Chair is finding these parts and integrating them into the self in order to help us to feel whole and healthy. My client Sarah graciously agreed to share her session today which demonstrates the integration of her 10-year-old part. It was a beautiful session and I am so grateful to Sarah for sharing her experience.

We don’t end relationships well. Unfortunately, no one teaches us how to do this. We get stuck in our victim or get caught in the blame game which only keeps us stuck! Katherine Woodward Thomas offers us a fresh perspective on breaking up and ending well. On today’s show, we discuss her book and process called Conscious Uncoupling, which Gwyneth Paltrow and Chris Martin made famous. She shares with us the 5 key elements in the book that teach us how to live happily ever after.

We use statements like, “I’m so in the flow today, everything fell perfectly into place.” We also hear, “I was so out of the flow today, it was the worst day.” Does this “flow state” randomly happen to us or can we choose it? I believe we can access this state and ride it like a wave! In today’s show I explain how we do this, with a 4 step process to access and harness your own flow state.
