Trauma-ology

“Trauma-logy”…Is when Your physical biology is still responding to the story of your old trauma. Who would you be if you weren’t telling your old traumatic story? After 10 years of listening to clients tell me about their physical challenges, I found the theme of their illness or pain was correlated to their trauma. Many […]

Expectation

Its rare that you Hope for something and achieve it. Its rare for those who Expect things NOT to achieve it. Expect a successful outcome! Just saying ‘I Hope so’ takes away your power. It’s saying I would prefer it to happen, but if it doesn’t I’m ok with that as well. So giving to […]

Listening Skills

Listening skills are more important than speaking in every conversation. Get quiet and listen, what language do you use with yourself? Your outside world is shaped by your internal dialogue.

Appearance Counts

Appearance counts as self love…Take pride in it! Wrinkled Clothing with holes projects~I don’t care. When you take pride in how you look, even on challenging days, you project confidence. Many tell me they want to be comfortable and they don’t care what others think. I agree, concern over others thoughts will get you no […]

Not your Job

It’s not your job to like me, it’s mine.-Byron Katie So often I see clients angry, hurt, depressed or stuck in their life due to the thoughts they have about another person. Expressing that it frustrates them that they don’t get along or don’t see eye to eye. If they would “understand me” or listen […]
