I’ve had so many people come to me stuck in struggle and pain lately so on today’s show I have four tools to offer that will help you on the road back to peace and into your Adult Chair!

How do I live authentically?

If you find yourself asking that question, you’re not alone. I hear this from clients practically daily, each feeling a connection with the concept, knowing they’re disconnected from their true, authentic selves, but at the same time struggling to move into that place of living their own lives authentically. 

Pain can feel heavy, like a dark cloud that won’t go away. We often times don’t realize that we are carrying our pain with us from the past, in hopes that something or someone will make it magically go away. Today, Rea Wright and I offer 5 ideas for relieving the darkness of pain and living a lighter more peaceful life.

Today on the show Ramona Reid blends the wisdom of the Enneagram into the Adult Chair. Ramona shared with us how she experiences the Child, Adolescent, and Adult through the lens of the Enneagram and the commonalities of the two models and how they enrich each other.

This week on the show I have a guest to talk to us about one of the most misunderstood and over-used labels I’ve run across: borderline personality disorder. Dr. Robin Arthur is a fantastic and knowledgeable expert who has been working with BPD individuals for years and has managed to offer us the tools we need not only to understand it, but to differentiate it from other personality disorders that are often confused.

Get ready everybody… we’re going to move through some shame today!

I adore our guest today! Patti Elledge joins us to talk about adult attachment wounds.

What do we do when we feel like we just can’t put one more thing on our plates? When the people we love and care about are expecting so much from us, it feels like we’re suffocating? When our career obligations increasing anxiety beyond our ability to cope? I know the feeling, and I know you know the feeling, and today on the show, I’m going to share a recent experience that had me turning to MY Adult Chair.

The only way you’re going to heal is to own your life. That’s the overriding message of the show today and it comes thanks to the story of a fabulous client we’ll call “Carolyn.” She’s graciously offered her story for this week’s show as a demonstration of owning your own stuff and making great strides in breaking the damaging patterns and programs that play over and over in our lives.

When we learn to become “story busters” and live from a place of fact and truth, we find ourselves seated squarely in the moment and in the Adult Chair.
