The Michelle Chalfant Show Life from the Adult Chair

106: How to Help Others to Move Into Their Adult Chair

I get this question all the time: “how to do I get (fill in the blank loved-one here) to get into their Adult Chair?!” I get it. You’re doing all this fantastic work on yourself, you’re sitting in your emotions and learning to move with them, not in spite of them. You’re doing all the great things that you need to do to live authentically yourself … now why won’t other people get on this train with you? Great question. And I’m going to take on exactly that this week on...

104: Shannon Thomas talks Narcissism, Gaslighting, and Healing from Hidden Abuse

Shannon Thomas sits down in the adult chair with me today to talk about narcissism, gaslighting, and other forms of abuse and emotional trauma that can plague our relationships. This is a wide-ranging interview thanks to YOU! So many of the questions Shannon takes on this week come from your responses in our Facebook private group — far more than we could cover in one sitting! So, consider this a start, and know that I’ll have Shannon back soon to keep this conversation moving. LINKS & RESOURCES: Audible This week’s show is...

103: It’s All About YOU!

Go ahead and say it out loud right now: “It’s all about me!” My clients have a lot of trouble saying it, as if it gets stuck in their throats. But being able to say that it’s all about you isn’t selfish, it’s ownership! It’s your charge that you are taking responsibility for your own emotions, feelings, desires. You’re going to look after yourself first, and thus open the door to being able to be an even better, whole support for those closest to you! All that and more on...

102: Love Addiction-Love Avoidant with Karen Gelstein

Karen Gelstein is another of my favorite people. She’s a therapist based out of New York City and when you hear what she has to say on love addiction, love avoidance, narcissism in the show this week you’re definitely going to want to learn more about her work. We’re of the same mind, and I think you’ll find in this show that her perspectives absolutely cement the critical importance of inner child work in healing from this emotional space. It’s terrific LINKS & RESOURCES: Karen on PsychologyToday.com psychologytoday.com/us/therapists/ Audible This week’s show is brought to...

101: Soothing Cannot be Outsourced

This week on the show I’m thrilled to welcome one of my precious clients and author of one of my very favorite quotes on healing, “soothing cannot be outsourced.” Susan introduces us to her journey of discovery in the Adult Chair which encompasses so many of the elements of struggle that so many face: loss of family, grief, reconciliation, all milestones on a path to discovery and love of self. Thank you so much to Susan for her willingness to join me for this conversation and sharing her own journey! LINKS...

100: Self-Love

What an amazing milestone! Never in a million years would I have imagined the love and grace I’ve discovered in the audience of this podcast. Thank you so much for everything you’ve done to make the journey to episode 100 so special. And now, let’s get started on our journey to episode 200 with a conversation on self-love! I have ten tools you can use to drive your own journey to self-love, each part of a practice I use with my clients to help recenter and find joy inside themselves. I...

99: Vulnerability

Most of us grew up thinking that vulnerability equals weakness. Let’s get this straight right off the top: that is absolutely not true. This week on the podcast we’re going to pull that misconception apart and share some examples of vulnerability that you can use to frame how you approach becoming vulnerable as an act of courage, an act of embracing risk, and most importantly, an act of love!

98: Transforming Triggers

Trouble staying in your Adult Chair when you’re triggered? Me too! This week, I have a story all about my own triggering experience and I want to use it to demonstrate how to move through the chairs and release the power and energy that binds you in the trigger!

97: DriveTime Download: Healing Trauma

Trauma comes in many shapes and sizes. From single events to long-running experiences that take away our sense of safety and security. Even if it doesn’t involve physical harm, it can lead toward isolation, depression, severe anxiety, and overwhelm. This week on the show, Michelle is back with a DriveTime Download inspired by the conversation on The Adult Chair private Facebook group to reflect on the nature of trauma and steps we can take to move forward in our Adult Chair!
