CC: Owning Your Erotism and Consent with Dr. Betty Martin Oct 09, 2021

Show notes

Sex and sexuality. These are part of the human experience. Yet for so many, sex and sexualty brings up shame, insecurity and even painful memories. It is possible to enjoy your sexual expression no matter what you have been through while empowering yourself by learning about your preferences and consent. There is no one better to discuss these topics with me than. Dr. Betty Martin.

She has had her hands on people professionally for over 40 years, first as a Chiropractor and upon retiring from that practice, as a certified Surrogate Partner, Sacred Intimate, and Somatic Sex Educator. Her explorations in somatic-based therapy and practices informed her creation of the framework, The Wheel of Consent®.

As part of her work with the School of Consent, Betty travels around the world teaching practitioners how to create empowered agreements in their client sessions, in her highly sought-after training "Like A Pro: The Wheel of Consent for Practitioners."

EP 317: Healing the Mother Wound with Abigail Oct 06, 2021

Show notes

This episode is about doing inner child work to heal the mother wound. Today's caller, Abigail, feels she is struggling to connect with her feminine energy but we discover that she is being triggered by her circumstances and it is revealing a coping strategy she relied on in her childhood. We discuss ways she can make the most of this healing opportunity.

[For show notes, go here: Christinehassler.com/episode317]

You can't really tap into true masculine and feminine until you do inner child work. Because we can confuse being in our feminine or masculine energy with protective behaviors and coping strategies. It is important for us to find our divine mother and father energy but healing our childhood wounds is the starting point.

When past trauma in her child wounding is triggered, it is an invitation for us to deal with it by speaking to our little one and giving them a voice. It makes it much easier to trust because our inner child isn't tugging at us telling us they are not okay.

What keeps some people from doing inner child work is that they think they have to relive their trauma or relive memories of their childhoods. It is possible to heal your childhood and connect with your inner child even if you have no memories or traumatic memories.

When we are given pauses in life, or when we feel we are in limbo, they are opportunities for us to focus on our inner work.

Join us for our LIVE Inner Child Workshop on October 8–10th. It will be the last live inner child workshop taught by Christine and Stefanos for a while. Get live coaching or attend the workshop online ChristineHassler.com/InnerChild. If you can't make it live you can get the recording. If you need help financially go to ChristineHassler.com/Scholarship.

Consider/Ask Yourself:

Are you struggling with identifying what is masculine and feminine energy? Or, you are not sure how to be in your masculine or feminine?
Have you worked on the mother wound and know intuitively there is still more to do?
Do you identify with being a caretaker? Someone who takes care of other people's needs as a way to try and get your own needs met?
As a child, were you more in the parent role than you were in the child role? Did a parent count on you for emotional support? Did they confide in you? Were you more of a friend to them and not allowed to truly be a kid?

Abigail's Question:

Abigail struggles with staying in her feminine energy.

Abigail's Key Insights and Ahas:

She has had a lot of uncertainty in her life.
She has difficulty adjusting and trusting changes.
She holds fear about changes in her life.
She frequently changes her residence.
She left her nursing career to be a doula.

She felt responsible for everyone else's happiness.
She wants to be free to express her needs.

EP 316: The Thing That Could Be Blocking You From Clarity with Illarion Sep 29, 2021

Show notes

This episode is about finding your passion by releasing repressed anger. Today's caller, Illarion, feels lost. He is in his twenties and is struggling to find his purpose. Emotions from his childhood are bubbling to the surface of his unconscious. If you relate to this call and feel blocked, anxious, or lost, this episode will help you tap into your fire and find your voice.

[For show notes, go here: Christinehassler.com/episode316]

So many of us that may be dealing with anxiety, depression, or feeling lost have a bit of indifference, hopelessness, and apathy we can slip into. That is a dangerous place because there is numbness. Whereas anger, if understood and expressed in a healthy way, is a very useful emotion. Anger is often the gateway to reaching our deeper hurts and it's the thing that unleashes our passion. Repressed anger takes up a lot of energy. It is a fiery emotion that just sits inside of us. Passion is fire too. If we have a lot of anger that we haven't processed, it can be a block to our creativity and passion.

A lot of creative and artistic people have trouble accessing their anger. It ends up manifesting as anxiety. When we have the creative archetype, there is also gentleness. We want to be the peacekeeper and avoid conflict. We don't feel the warrior spirit because we are more on the creative side. However, when we don't access our anger and our rage, it can hold our passion back.

It is often anger and resentment that keep us from getting to the true energy of forgiveness.

Consider/Ask Yourself:

Do you feel stuck or lost in your life?
Did you have parents that supported who you are but not 100% of the time?
Have you analyzed and talked about your issues and have been in therapy but things are not changing?
Is anger something that turns you off?

Illarion's Question:

Illarion feels lost and is struggling to find his purpose. He goes through bouts of loneliness, anxiety, and low self-worth.

Illarion's Key Insights and Ahas:

He moved to New York City.
He is going through imposter syndrome.
He doubts every choice he makes.
His feelings go up and down.
He may have unresolved issues from childhood.
He has been in therapy for three years.
He looks at what he should be instead of what he is meant to be.
He didn't feel he was able to be himself as a child.
What he is going through is normal for his age.
He is not sure he is lovable and enough for his parents.
He doesn't speak with his father.
He hasn't dealt with the anger he feels at his parents.
He seeks approval from other people.
He wanted someone to stick up for him as a child.

How to Get Over It and On With It:

Tap into his anger and be pissed.
Do the temper-tantrum technique at ChristineHassler.com/angerrelease
Write an F-U letter to his mom and dad without sending it to them.
Go to a quiet place and expel rage while he punches a pillow.
Find his fiery passion.

EP 315: Be a Stand For What You Want in Your Life with Sebastian Sep 22, 2021

Show notes

This episode is about taking a stand for what we value. Today's caller, Sebastian, is not getting his needs met in his relationship. He is attempting to talk through his issues, but the results are not changing. We discuss ways to get clarification from his partner about what she needs and how he can have his needs met by taking a stand for his values.

[For show notes, go here: Christinehassler.com/episode315]

If communication solved every issue in a relationship, we could all just read communication books and have the most amazing relationships, friendships, and parental relationships. Everything would be easy. But, it is not. We need to do the inner work. We play out our childhood stuff in our adult life, especially in relationships.

When a child has emotionally unavailable parents, they learn to tolerate a lot more hurt. When they grow into adults, they may have a pattern of thinking things are better than they truly are in their intimate relationships.

In relationships, friendships, or any kind of intimate relationship, we often love and give in the way we want to be given to and loved, not necessarily the way that person needs or wants it.

We have to be bold when it comes to things like love, our families, our health, our well-being, and what is important to us. We must take a stand for our values.

Consider/Ask Yourself:

Do you find yourself not being a firm stand for what you want in your life?
Do you ever tiptoe around people afraid of upsetting them?
Do you often feel disrespected in conversations or just not heard?
Do you have some codependent patterns and let people walk all over you?
Do you often find yourself with emotionally unavailable or avoidant-type people?

Sebastian's Question:

Sebastian feels he doesn't get his needs met in his relationship and would like guidance on how to have a healthier relationship.

Sebastian's Key Insights and Ahas:

His relationship has ups and downs.
Hurtful things are said between him and his partner.
He and his partner have done couple counseling.
He has a 10-year-old son with his partner.
He feels disrespected by his partner.
He loves his family.
His partner finds it is overwhelming to deal with his emotions.
He is trying to uncover and overcome the relationship issues.
He is codependent.

How to Get Over It and On With It:

Get curious about what his partner needs.
Have a conversation about what each other needs emotionally.
Stand in his strong, healthy masculine and ask his partner if she wants the relationship to work.
Step into his power and take a stand for himself and the relationship.

Takeaways:

Take a stand for your values. Be very clear about what you want and where you are going.

EP 314: Getting Over Loss with Regina Sep 15, 2021

Show notes

This episode will support you in getting through and to the other side of any kind of loss. Today's caller, Regina, is a widow who is grieving over the loss of her husband. She says she regrets not being the best mother in the world and not living the life she wanted to live. She is questioning her purpose and experiencing quite a bit of apathy in her life.

[For show notes, go here: Christinehassler.com/episode314]

Loss is an incredibly painful but inevitable part of our life. When it happens it is important we give ourselves time to grieve and not try to be strong and move on right away. But there comes a point in our life when life has to go on.

Whether it is the death of a loved one, a pet, a relationship, or a job, we can't allow loss to suck the life out of us. Otherwise, we end up existing, not truly living. We honor those who transition by continuing to live.

People who deal with expectation hangovers often feel guilty to admit it but they tend to be apathetic to life. The reason for the apathy is the opposite of love is not hate. It is indifference or apathy. When we go through something challenging, especially if we are lonely through it, we allow our self-love tank to get so low that we slip into indifference. Without love there is apathy. Getting out of it requires choosing to live, not just to go through the motions; we need something we want to live for.

Give yourself permission to live for and find something that reconnects you back to love.

Consider/Ask Yourself:

Have you recently been through a loss and can't seem to move on?
Have you been through a loss and are aware you need time to grieve?
Do you tend to look back on your life and wish you could have done things differently?
Are you at a point in your life where you are just existing and need to start living again?

Regina's Question:

Regina would like to move past her sadness and regret of not living the life she wanted.

Regina's Key Insights and Ahas:

She is approaching retirement.
She is not in the place she thought she would be in her life.
She lives alone.
There is a part of her that doesn't want to be anymore.
She has regrets about how she raised her children.
She doesn't believe we get more than one love in our lives.
Her husband was her best friend.
She beats herself up a lot.
She knows if she can create a negative story for herself, she is capable of creating a positive story, too.

How to Get Over It and On With It:

Choose to create a future that is enlivening.
Give herself permission to live and allow love in.
Have a loving relationship with herself.
Speak to herself as a loving mother would to a child.
Forgive herself for being mean to herself.
Write out some promises to herself.

Takeaways:

Practice self-love.
Consider that loved ones who have transitioned are angels and guides in your life.
Accept that you did the best you could with the tools you had at the time.
Content that focuses on overcoming regret.
