The Michelle Chalfant Show — Life from the Adult Chair

When most of us here the word PTSD (post traumatic stress disorder), we think of someone that has come out of the military. While this can be very true for our military personnel, PTSD affects many others and they may not even know.    So many suffer from chronic anxiety, depression, insomnia and more and are unaware that the root issue could be PTSD. This is exactly what happened with me.    In today's show I go through symptoms of PTSD and offer stories and examples of how this may be showing up in your life. Lastly, I offer techniques and strategies for change.    Ned: https://Helloned.com/Adult   Promo code: Adult   https://theadultchair.com/membership   EMDR and/or Brainspotting Hakomi Bioenergetics NST-Neurostructural Integration   Annie Waugh Boerner   annieboerner.com Myofacial-with a John Barnes trained practitioner

I get asked this question all the time, "What do I work on next?" "I realize I have so many things to work on and don't know where to begin!"    In today's show I offer ideas on what to work on next, what direction to take while on your path of healing, and how to stay in the flow while doing it.    Whether it be codependency, anxiety, relationship problems, working with self-esteem or any healing goal you have,  there is a way to do this from your Adult Chair and today I share with you just how to do that.    https://theadultchair.com/membership   https://Mymyro.com/adult

So many of us live life from The Adolescent Chair. We rush and busy ourselves to the point of exhaustion. We stress ourselves out and wind up living with anxiety, depression and other ailments. We lack presence and feel like if we keep doing we will find our answers and that maybe when we get enough done, our problems will go away, our pain will be erased, and our stress will be gone. What if finding relief was easier than you imagined? There is magic in being that can change your life. When we are able to just "be," we can find our true Self - the self with a capital S. When we can connect into this part, our truest essence, our problems can transform, we gain clarity that we could't find before, our "to-do" list shortens, and magic happens. In today's show, I share with you the difference between meditation and being, tools to enter and live in this state, and the power we find with being. It is truly magical, and you can transform your life when you learn how. For this is where we find our Adult Chair, which is the truest version of ourselves. https://theadultchair.com/workshop  https://theadultchair.com/membership  Sponsor: Ned https://helloned.com/Adult 

Do you ever feel stuck in life? Like you can't catch a break with some people and you keep getting the short end of the stick? Have you ever thought that you are missing something and that you actually have limiting beliefs or filters that are causing you to keep attracting in bad jobs, unsuccessful relationships, unhealthy friendships, not enough money etc.? Limiting beliefs and filters can keep us stuck, disempowered and make us feel small, like a victim and even send us down the path of anxiety and depression. In today's show I give you a couple good examples what limiting beliefs are and how they block us from happiness and success. Most of us are unconscious of our limiting beliefs and filters yet they are ruling our lives! It's time to make them conscious. Today I offer you ways to find your own limiting beliefs and filters that keep you stuck and how to shatter them, and create a feeling of empowerment and freedom in your life. https://theadultchair.com/workshop  https://theadultchair.com/membership

When we are triggered, we lose ourselves so quickly and fall into a defense. Oftentimes we regret our reaction later on. In today's show, Michelle gives some tips to help us stay in our Adult Chair when we are triggered and remain present with whatever is coming up.    Triggers can be such a gift when we understand that they are windows into our unconscious beliefs. It's a way to gain a deeper understanding about ourself!    https://theadultchair.com    Podcast #98: Transforming Triggers: https://theadultchair.com/podcast/98   Podcast #133 Ending Triggers: https://theadultchair.com/podcast/133   Takecareof.com: http://takecareof.com/ Promo code: ADULT

It can be hard to live with self-love when we have loud inner negative parts. In today's show, Michelle discusses steps to transform these inner parts from the Adolescent Chair.

We all have many inner voices but there is one in particular, that can be overly critical and hard on us, it's called the "inner critic." In today's show, I share with you what the inner critic is and how to transform that voice using some simple and easy to use tools. You will also receive some "homework" that will help build up your inner supportive voice to help you stay in your healthy adult even when the inner critic has something to say.
