The Michelle Chalfant Show Life from the Adult Chair

18: Healing the Mother Wound

Timing is everything, right? And just in time for Mother’s Day, we have an amazing conversation with an amazing woman and healer. Bethany Webster joins us on The Adult Chair to introduce us to the Mother Wound. Stemming from our early years — birth to 7 — the mother wound can dramatically impact our most important relationships, from our relationship with our selves, to our partners and spouses, to our children as they grow up. This week on the show, we introduce the powerful concepts that drive healing of the...

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...

16: Cultivating Our Deepest Connections

I had a conversation with my husband this week that got me thinking about connections. Human connections. So this week on the show I want to talk about how we support one another when we need it most when we’re reacting from our child or adolescent chair and we need to be heard and supported the most.   This is also a discussion about how to support. That’s a very different skill, learning when to listen when to love, and when to support from our adult chair. And even more important, how...

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...

14: The Shadow

We strive to be whole and complete but deny the parts of us that embarrass us, that we hate and try and hide. These are our shadow parts. It is impossible to feel whole without embracing the shadow parts inside us. This week on the show, Pete and I talk about the shadow, how to move into a mode of discovery, to unlock and embrace the secrets of our shadow, and work to become whole.     LINKS & RESOURCES:   Here is an excerpt from Debbie Ford (another one of my teachers) who explains...

13: Accessing our Inner Child — A Meditation with Michelle

Over the last few weeks, we’ve addressed some powerful topics. From approaching anxiety to codependency, and finally love addiction/love avoidance. In each of these areas, our approach has been to discern where our emotional response sits — our child or adolescent — and invite them to sit in the adult chair, to approach these challenges from a position of rationality and confidence.   But accessing our inner child is not always easy, nor is it always comfortable without some help. That’s why this week on the show, Michelle offers a meditation, a...

12 – Love Addiction & Love Avoidance with Sarah Bridge

Love addiction and love avoidance define the relationship struggles for many of us as we enter deeper emotional connection throughout the course of our lives. These are damaging patterns and represent a long-running struggle to move from our adolescent to our adult chair as we learn to cultivate love with others in our lives. This week on the show, we’re honored to have Sarah Bridge on the show. Sarah is a therapist and an expert in love addiction/love avoidance. She joins us today to help frame these concepts and share...

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...
