14.01.2022 Feelings motivate us towards one of three modes. Approach, avoid or attack. Approach is about positive energy - wanting to appreciate, improve, or learn. Avoid is about withdrawing energy and distancing. Attack is using negative energy against another - to devalue, beat, or harm. We may not choose our feelings but we can decide our mode of response.

09.01.2022 *A note from Ann*: I remember when I was first drawn to emotional healing I thought I’d had a great childhood.... Yet I kept being drawn to men who weren’t available and ignoring the available ones. I had an inner critic ready to crush me for the smallest mistake. And I often felt odd, out of place, and lonely. But I didn’t connect any of that with my early family life. I absolutely believed our family story that we were a happy, close family and Dad’s drinking was never a problem. Then something interesting happened. As I did Focusing with my current life issues, I kept getting taken back to my childhood. Whenever I explored why I had so much ambivalent longing for male company, I saw memories of my father turning away from me when I was small. When I spent time with my feelings of being odd and left out in social situations, I’d see memories of my mother holding my baby brother and ignoring me. Patterns in my current life made so much more sense when I connected them with painful emotional events in my early life. And more importantly, the present got lighter and freer when I acknowledged the feelings of that younger me. Most of you are probably not as clueless as I was. You probably know that a lot of the limitations in your current life are connected to early life traumas. (Let’s say that trauma is any event or set of circumstances that was persistently painful and led to self-limiting beliefs.) Perhaps you thought you had to accept the ways your life is impacted by the past. You may not have known that it’s possible to heal those old hurts enough to really see the difference in the present. To help you experience greater possibilities in your life I created Healing Trauma: Moving Beyond the Hurt of the Past. For this course, I’ve created safe and empowering exercises to help you cultivate your strength and self-compassion, so you can invite your hurting younger self into a healing relationship with you. I think you’ll be amazed at how quickly this kind of inner relationship can bring relief and greater spaciousness and lightness. In fact, let’s try a healing exercise to cultivate some self-compassion right now, shall we? ONE: Pause, and bring awareness to your body, to how you are sitting and how you are supported. TWO: Draw on a resource that’s available to you right now. For example, you might be aware of something beautiful or beloved in your surroundings. Take a moment to receive the help that is here for you. THREE: Sense in the inner area of your body, and notice if there is something in me feeling in need of some extra care and tenderness. FOUR: Say a gentle Hello, I know you are there to that place inside you. FIVE: Notice how that feels now Exercises like this one are the first step in the process of healing trauma. They create a space to feel safe enough to do the work. In the Healing Trauma course, we’ll do even more in-depth exercises including topics like: How to turn toward the parts that carry the trauma What should have happened (in the moment) Living beyond the hurt of the past Reclaiming your body as a safe space for happiness and other feelings And many more...
