25: Indecision IS a Decision
Send us a textIs indecision preventing you from creating what you want in life? What are you choosing instead? Whenever we decide to sit in indecision, we are making a choice. This subconscious choice might be to perpetuate our pain or situation, to not invest, to not create change, but our indecision is ALWAYS creating something! Taking some time to think on what your own indecision is creating is the secret to breaking the spell of this indulgent emotion. Want to book a session?

22: The Drama Triangle Part 3: Rescuer/Coach
Send us a textWelcome to part 3 of the drama triangle series! Rescuer energy wants to help. But often times, the motives are muddles. Rescuer energy "helps" in order to get a specific return. This might be in the form of gratitude or a specific emotional response. This can show up as White Knight syndrome. This is where the Knight saves the damsel, but also perpetuates that damsel energy so he can remain the white knight! Let's explore both the Rescuer energy as well as its antidote, the Coach.

21: The Drama Triangle Part 2: Persecutor/Challenger
Send us a textEvery victim needs a persecutor. This means often times we swing back and forth between the two in order to secure our position as the victim. We do this because often times our brain wants to be RIGHT more than it wants to be HAPPY. Turning on the prefrontal cortex helps us to step out of the victim/persecutor role and move towards the more supportive challenger energy that reminds us what is possible and what we are really capable of creating.
