The somatic work, and even more specifically the EMOTIONAL work, will bring about the biggest shifts. We have to get out of the mind-only space and drop into the body and what’s happening within and underneath.

The repressed emotions + pain are what we are all running from.

FYI: That “big thing” that I mention is breast cancer.

Triggers are our teachers! Use them to find the places and parts of yourself who need love and attention. ♥️✨🙏🏼

If you’re a theorist, coach, or other mental health practitioner and you’re not doing the somatic, emotional, and inner child healing work with your clients and patients, you might be left behind within the next decade.

There is an explosion of this work happening because IT WORKS and it works faster and more sustainably than the cognitive/ mind work alone.

My next training begins 1/25/26!

My friend and I are talking about our inner teenager selves and they both happen to be smokers. You get to a point where you actually find humor and levity in this work. 😂

When we heal ourselves, we begin to see the world and life through completely different lenses, no matter what is happening in our lives and the world. ✨✨✨

What a gift to have amazing friends who know how to do the work and can hold such beautiful, expansive, and healing space for me for a Hypno-Breathwork Grief Session. 🙏🏼😭

Thank you ! You’re amazing!! 🙏🏼🔥✨💕

*Not shown: The parts where I’m moving anger, frustration, and deep sadness through my body. And also, where I’m anchoring into my inner truth, self love, and forgiveness of self and other.

EMPATHS / HEALERS / HELPERS

AND

OVER-GIVING / UNDER-RECEIVING

“If your compassion does not include yourself it is incomplete.” -Jack Kornfield

I would change this up a bit to show the magnitude of this detrimental survival strategy.

“If your empathy and compassion exclude YOU, it is not only unhealthy, it is TOXIC. It will kill you.” -Liz Burkholder

There is a space where giving becomes severely unhealthy. It becomes detrimental to both yourself (by keeping you drained, resentful, and exhausted) and to others (by keeping them in helplessness and victimhood and “needing” you). And you both end up feeling powerless.

You will bleed yourself dry while trying to save others. Sometimes those others do not even want to be saved, or they do not want to (or don’t know how to) save themselves. This is a never-ending cycle of destruction, helplessness, powerlessness, resentment, and exhaustion.

And this is nothing to be ashamed about either. This is a deep survival strategy where you learned that in order to survive, you need to give up your own needs and pay attention to others and attune to their needs.

The child self learned:
If others are ok, I will be ok.
If others are ok, I will be safe.
If others are ok, I will survive.
If I’m helping and giving to others, then I’ll be safe, or I’ll be worthy, or I’ll be seen.
If I repress my emotions and myself (my needs, my voice, my authenticity) then I will be safe.

This is a projection where your own inner child actually wants/needs to be saved, but you subconsciously project that onto the world as everyone else needs to be saved and I need to save them.

The only way to heal this is to save yourself and your own inner child and re-direct all of that compassion and empathy back onto YOURSELF.
And to allow others to save themselves and their own inner child.

And from this place of being full and caring for YOURSELF first, you can then give, serve, and help others without sacrificing yourself, without the resentment and exhaustion, and without the need to be needed in order to be worthy or safe.
And you release responsibility for others.
