Happily Ever After

Childhood Trauma
So much of what we do on the team is geared towards releasing childhood traumas. Childhood is when most of our beliefs and fears… and our core mental and emotional structures… are formed.

Family Rules
Do you find yourself repeating patterns from childhood… yet wishing you could change? Family dynamics can be a powerful force in our lives, even if we have little contact with our relatives now.

When a Windfall Feels Scary: Gratitude, Arrogance, and Taking Care of Everyone

Mindless Eating
We must eat in order to survive. Our primitive brain knows that. And it is more than willing to wolf food on the run. Food is fuel. Without it we die. When we eat on the run, our body often gets the signal that threat is lurking, or that there is a shortage of food…

I Want to Be Thankful, But… Making Gratitude Feel Safe and Real
– It feels like an obligation – I fear it will be taken away – I still want more – If I’m happy I’ll be targeted – I can’t until I’m perfect – I’m embarrassed that I have a lot
