Why We Must Love Ourselves and Embrace Our Dark Archetypes for True Growth and Mental Health Nov 29, 2020

Show notes

How can understanding archetypes like the bully, victim and addict improve your mental health journey? By picking battles we can avoid burnout and have the energy to fight the ones we decide need fighting. We work to hold space for our light & dark selves with wholeness while letting go of taking things personally. In this work we stay connected to true self vs. chasing the unavailable ideal which is the essence of unconditional self love. Embracing both light and dark aspects of these archetypes can transform how you see yourself. By recognizing these internal characters, Highly Sensitive People (HSPs) can achieve unconditional self-love and navigate trauma with more resilience.

How to Re-frame Our Inner Critic Nov 15, 2020

Show notes

Is your inner critic sabotaging your mental health? I've never met a highly sensitive person who didn't have an overdeveloped inner-critic. This inner bully robs our progress, dis-empowers, and devalues who we are, especially when our energies are low. Without addressing the inner critic, we are at risk of digging mental health holes that become deeper and more difficult to crawl out of. You were never meant to be in a hole, rather, you were meant to stand tall and proud at the peak of the mountain of life. Learn how to reframe these thoughts for better mental health. This episode explores the impact of negative self-talk on Highly Sensitive People (HSP) and trauma survivors. We discuss mindfulness techniques to observe and counteract the inner critic's voice, replacing it with positive affirmations. Discover practical steps to enhance your self-care routine and promote emotional resilience.

Using our Age, Maturity and Wisdom, to Heal our Inner Child Nov 01, 2020

Show notes

Awakenings mature us, force listening & expansion that turns into wisdom. Other human beings help us trust reality & our experience. As we mature, old ideas of youth have fallen away, ideals replace reality. In healing, we learn to accept the inadequacies & immaturity of others & ourselves while we grow into more adequacy, efficacy, & responsibility. By therapeutically providing a positive energy & lessons for our inner children, we fill in our voids, & maturity expands.

Effective Boundaries to Heal Trauma from Adverse Childhood Experiences Oct 17, 2020

Show notes

Many of you have probably heard of the ACES (Adverse Childhood Experiences Study.) Here, I break down the emotional and psychological effects of each adverse childhood experience, which completely muck up our natural, healthy boundaries and limits. Because of those experiences, we end up working a lifetime to re-calibrate them. This is one of the main reasons I teach the boundaries course. This episode explores the deep impact of childhood trauma on Highly Sensitive People (HSPs) and provides actionable steps to heal and improve mental health.

When will I feel the Superpowers of High Sensitivity? Oct 04, 2020

Show notes

Feeling overwhelmed by your high sensitivity? One of the most frequent questions I get asked is some variation of the question 'when will I feel the superpowers of sensitivity' or 'when will I stop resenting that I'm so sensitive' or 'when will this get easier, will it ever be easier?' Learn how to turn it into a superpower by embracing your sensory system and setting strong boundaries. (HSP) Highly Sensitive People can initially feel like this is burdensome, but with proper fine-tuning and acceptance, it becomes a unique gift. I hope this week's episode brings you a dose of more than self acceptance, and helps highly sensitive people fully embrace themselves to be able to feel the beauty vs. the burden and using it to enhance their mental health and emotional resilience.
