What If Triggers Are An Ally, Not An Enemy?

Triggers speak for the trapped parts of ourselves that are reliving a terror in the past. 

They give us moments to lean in, acknowledge, and legitimize our past lived reality. 

They invite us to add sanity to our reality through our listening and validation of what is there. 
And as we love and care for them through warmth, curiosity, and inquiry, their trapped energy begins to cycle into completion bit by bit. 

They're not signals something is wrong with us or that we're crazy. 

They're the voice of unprocessed, unacknowledged, unmet parts of ourselves. 

Meet them. Care for them. Love them. And the terror they carry will ease.

[The Essential Codependency Healing Trainings Start September 24, 2023]

This LIVE 8-week training is for codependents, people-pleasers, and perfectionists that:

- Feel like there's something crucial they're missing in their healing work
- Are stuck in a circle of relapse and "trying to not be codependent"
- Feel lost and frustrated not knowing what to do to get real peace and healing

There are 8 necessary factors that create lasting healing and freedom from codependency:

- Safety
- Sanity
- Personal Sovereignty
- Trust Yourself
- Know Yourself
- Love Yourself
- Be Yourself
- Share Yourself

I will be teaching the essential skills and knowledge in each of these factors starting May 14, 2023 in my 8-week course, "The Essential Codependency Healing Trainings".

This includes:

- Origin of Codependency & Nervous System Care
- Inner Awareness
- Capacity & Emotional Care
- Differentiation and Knowing Yourself
- Fantasy and Reality
- Real Worth
- Being Sovereign
- Boundaries 101
- Pre-recorded Bonus One: Safe-People and Resourcing
- Pre-recorded Bonus Two: Self-Trust Foundation

These eight trainings give you the crucial knowledge, tools, and practices needed to transition your codependent habits into healthy relating habits that create well-being, peace, and happiness FOR YOU.

You'll be empowered to create these results because:

- You'll be able to identify and neutralize your codependent fantasies and connect with reality
- You'll be able to soothe and care for your anxiety, pain, grief, and other emotions
- You'll be cultivating trust in yourself
- You'll be discovering your real worth
- You'll be starting to really know and distinguish yourself from others
- You'll be able build real boundaries
- You'll be able to detect and disengage your people-pleasing and fawning behaviors

Students that have learned these skills report:

- Feeling big relief from trying so hard to fix themselves
- More confidence in being able to acknowledge what they feel, what is happening, and act from that knowledge
- More peace because they can see what is really happening
- Relief because they know what to do instead of their codependency!
