189 – Breaking Free from Victim
In a word, victim energy is just plain yucky. We fall into victim when we least expect it and "think" it feels good. We feel like we deserve to feel this way, we have been wronged for goodness sake...
188 – The Wisdom of the Body in Healing with Patti Elledge
Today on the show we have Patti Elledge back again to talk about how we can heal our early developmental wounds, attachment wounds, trauma, abuse, and more by working with the wisdom of the body. This is not a show about "body work," but instead a show about how we learn to feel our emotions, our felt sense, and use our body as a navigation system for healing old wounding. If we don't pay attention to our bodies, our old wounding lays stuck or dormant in the body. With increased awareness...

I am so excited about this show. On today's show I interviewed a client and she was able to find her truth, step into her power and learn how to set boundaries-all in one show!

Our monthly theme in the membership is "I'm Free" and she wanted further help on how to apply it to her situation. It was an amazing session and she...
183 – Understanding and Healing Our Defenses with Karen Gelstein
On today's show we have one of my favorite people and therapists, on the show-Karen Gelstein. Karen helped us to understand our defenses and how to heal them and change how we react with others. She shares with us how humor, ruminating thoughts, missing red flags, codependency and even addictions are all ways that we defend ourselves to stay safe. We delved into the inner child and how the inner child becomes wounded and the defenses are created. Lastly, she helps us to identify our defenses and gives us the tools we need to heal, so that we can regain emotional balance and reconnect...
