Trauma coach Shelbi Dubord and I focus heavily on the hidden programming that is within each of us as a result of trauma. When we are operating under our hidden programming (on "autopilot"), we are ignorant of the awesome power of choice: that we get to choose to be who we are and how we respond to any situation. Shelbi shares her journey of going from a place of chronic illness and an inability to work to surrendering, quitting her corporate job, healing herself, and starting her work as a trauma coach. Shelbi and I also...
- talk about victim mentality as a hurdle to healing and the one thing our inner child needs most when we are acting as victims
- explain the connection between victim mentality and perfectionism
- explain "wokeness" comparison and the ego in the spiritual and personal development spaces
- reveal Shelbi's perspective on where our hidden programming actually lives (hint: it's not in our heads)
- discuss The Drama Triangle, how each of us cycles through each of its points, and how to get out
- talk about giving the body a voice using a simple but profound journaling technique
- explore how to get into the body to listen and discern what it's trying to tell you
- discern how to know what your body sounds like vs. the brain manufacturing answers
- discuss using imagination to connect with your body
