The Michelle Chalfant Show Life from the Adult Chair

58: Sad, Lonely and Empty

We cover our feelings with numbing agents. Food. Alcohol. Work. The drive of our adolescent chair tells us that if we only had something to fill these holes in our lives, we’d be better, so we eat more, drink more, work more. Maybe we get married or have a child, always expecting that this next great thing will heal us. But the holes keep growing, and as soon as we stop for bit, stop covering up, we feel the sadness, loneliness, emptiness that fills us. Today’s conversation comes thanks to the...

56: What do I do with my Feelings and Emotions?

As humans, we feel things deeply. Many of us cope with those feelings — particularly the negative ones — with some sort of numbing agent like food, or booze, or anything to minimize the impact of those feelings in our daily lives. But what do we do with those feelings and emotions get stuck? What do we do when we start to get baked in that shape of grief? This week on the show we’re talking all about the practice of moving with and through our emotions, and share the...

57: Cataloging the Results of our Childhood Programming with Lisa Romano

55: What’s Life Like in the Adult Chair?

The journey of The Adult Chair is not one of a destination, but rather an understanding. This week on the show, we talk about the confusion that can come to those who expect to live in their adult all the time, the frustration that comes with you feel like you finally understand what it feels like to sit in your Adult Chair, only to experience being snapped back into your Adolescent Chair thanks to your environment. Here’s the trick: it’s impossible to live in your Adult Chair all the time,...

54: Narcissism, Codependence, and the Self-Love Deficit with Ross Rosenberg

Today on the show, Ross Rosenberg joins us to talk about narcissism and codependence. The concepts are tied together, says Ross, and he spends much of his work helping others understand this spectrum through his concept of “self-love deficit disorder.” He joins us to share the roots of narcissism, how narcissists present in relationships, and even delves into tools for protecting ourselves when we are engaging with pathological narcissists in our lives. Ross Rosenberg, is a counselor, trainer, and author of the best-selling book, The Human Magnet Syndrome. He’s also a...

53: Let’s Talk About Sex

Yes, it’s true: intimacy is about more than just sex. But the physiological and psychological benefits of investing time and attention on your sex life can do wonders when it comes to rekindling intimacy in your relationship. This week on the show, we’re thrilled to have Prana Regina Barrett join us to help us better understand the role of sex in our emotional and physical well-being, and how a mindful tantra practice can open the door to a new level of depth with your partner! LINKS & RESOURCES: Lighter Living Tantra by...

51: Find Your Authentic Self at the Heart of Your Enneagram

50: The Art of Surrender

When we surrender, we’re choosing to let go of control of a situation. It’s consciously letting go of the ego and drive to dominate a situation with trust that the future will unfold as it is meant to. This is a position of peace, not trauma, relief, not stress. This week on the show, Pete kicks us off with a story of his own surrender, losing a decade of his own professional photography work and finding a path to releasing control, finding relief from the panic attached to the outcome, and...
