It is incredibly difficult to witness someone suffering. You want to take the suffering away, you may even wish to take it on yourself. You may try to fix the problem for them, but usually you can’t. You feel so helpless.

What is there to do if you can’t take the suffering away and you can’t fix the problem?

Researcher Brené Brown has a cute short video on this. Check it out here.

“Think positive” sounds like a nice piece of advice to give to someone going through a difficult time. We mean well when we give it but actually it can sometimes be more harmful than helpful.

Imagine going through a really difficult time. Your emotions are everywhere, uncontrollable. Maybe you’re feeling hopeless because you just lost your job and finances are tight, bills are due, the kids need new clothes, a window in the house is leaking, and the car has a check engine light and is making a funny noise. Everything is falling apart.

Your friend takes you out to buy you coffee. You’re sitting across from her, telling her your story, baring your soul and revealing your deepest fears.

And the first thing she says: “You have to think positive. Look for the silver lining. When a door closes, a window opens.”

How do you feel? Better? I doubt it very much.

Why? Shouldn’t thinking positive help make you feel better? Isn’t this sound advice?

Instead of hearing this response from your well-meaning friend, what do you really need in this moment?

You need to be heard. Validated. Seen. Felt. Understood. You don’t need advice. You don’t even need them to fix your problems. In this moment, you just need to be “gotten”.

Now, the same goes for the conversation inside of you. Have you ever felt a certain way and then deny to yourself that you feel that way? For example, have you ever felt anxious and thought something along the lines of “only positive thoughts allowed here”? Have you ever felt angry and thought something like “nice people aren’t angry; I shouldn’t be feeling this way”?

This phenomenon with another person or inside yourself is called toxic positivity. It is the belief that one should keep their mindset positive even in the worst situations. Being optimistic and positive has benefits but toxic positivity rejects the presence of difficult emotions in favour of a false cheery facade . When emotions are rejected, they can’t be felt. When they can’t be felt, they can’t be processed. When they can’t be processed, they can’t be healed.

I recently read somewhere: “Healing starts the moment we feel heard”.

And we can’t feel heard if we aren’t honest about how we feel with ourselves and with others. The first step to healing is to acknowledge how you really feel.

If you are ready for the next steps in healing (or need help with the first step!), I’d love to work with you! I recently certified as a Clinical EFT Practitioner and I’m excited to share with you this empowering, research-proven, self-help tool to help you release stress and work through difficult emotions so that you can live with more freedom and less struggle, no matter what challenges you are facing.

You are carrying more stress than you need to. Let me show you how to let it go.

Things are different now, but several years ago, I was really trying to lose weight. Diets. Exercise. The whole shebang.

I would stand on the scale daily so that I could track my progress.

I remember there were several days I’d get up in the morning and feel good - I’d look in the mirror and think “Yeah, this is good. I’m looking healthier. I’m doing it. Good job, Louise.” I’d feel like I was making progress and that life was good.

Smiling and inwardly celebrating, I’d walk to the bathroom, excitedly thinking, “Surely the scale is going to show this change!”

After taking off my clothes (no one stands on a scale with all the extra weight of pyjamas! LOL), I step on the scale. I wait those few moments for the numbers to stop moving around, anticipating the validation of what I feel.

BAM! Insult! My heart sinks. “A pound higher!! How is this possible?! I’m such a loser. An idiot. A good-for-nothing.” I look down at my body, then up into the mirror, disgusted. “How could I not see the truth that I see now? The love handles, the arm sag, the gut. UGH.”

I step off the scale. Deflated. Defeated. A failure. I think, “Let’s just get this day over with.”

Maybe you can relate?

I let the number on the scale dictate how I felt about myself and about life. When the scale was good, I felt good; when it was bad, I felt bad. Isn’t it funny that we tend to rely on external factors to tell us how we should feel?

I wasn’t standing on the scale daily to track my progress, I was standing on the scale to guide how I should feel. But natural daily fluctuations make the scale almost just as random as a Magic8 ball. “Can I feel good about myself today?” Shake-a. Shake-a. Shake-a… “My reply is no.”

Not only did I then feel bad about myself, I unconsciously learned that I can’t trust myself or my feelings. “Look how wrong I was? I thought I was feeling good, but the scale says I should feel like s**t. Ok, scale, you’re right, I’m wrong.” And I further hand over to the scale the power over my feelings.

Thankfully, I finally recognized what was happening and took back my power. Now I no longer stand on the scale; I don’t even own one.

To what or whom do you hand over the power of your feelings?

How can you take back your power?

A “control freak” is not something that one would typically want to be. But I think there is one instance in which we should all strive to be one.

When it comes to stress management, it is of utmost importance that we take control of that which we can take control.

Try as we may, we cannot control people, their behaviour nor choices. We cannot control the weather, the flat tire, the traffic jam, nor technology glitches.

There are some things over which we have some influence - our health, our sleep, our day-to-day job.

But there is something that we can control. That we should control. That we must control. By taking control of this one thing, our life would be exponentially less stressful, overall easier and much more peaceful.

It might not sound possible, but if we all took control of this one thing, the world would be a much greater place.

What is that one thing?

It is nothing external to you; it is inside of you. That one thing is your emotions - your inner responses to life.

And according to Viktor Frankl, an Austrian psychiatrist and Holocaust survivor, this is something that “we have paramount control over”.

Whenever you encounter life events (so, like, in every moment), ask yourself, “What do I have control over in this situation?” Depending on the situation, the question might have a few answers, but it will always include: “my response”.

Your response to life is your responsibility. Your emotions are not because of the weather (“I’m sad because it is raining.”), the flat tire (“I’m annoyed because I have to change a tire.”), or that person’s behaviour (“I’m angry because he’s a douche.”). Your emotions, your inner responses, are because of you - this is what you can control.

When you take control of your emotions and transform them into effective, renewing ones, you are taking control of your stress levels. Not to mention, regulating your nervous system, balancing your hormones, changing the expression of your DNA, building resilience, increasing vitality, boosting your energy level, lengthening your life, improving the quality to your life, improving the quality of your sleep, slowing aging, optimizing brain function…I could keep going!

Every time you could point and say, “You make me feel this way” or, “That made me feel that way”, you are effectively saying, “Here, take my control.”

It is time to stop handing over the control of your emotions to something or someone else.

It is time to take back your control! Take control of the one thing that you actually can control - your emotions.

It is time to unleash your inner control freak!

I am reading a book called “Transform Your Beliefs, Transform Your Life”, by Karl Dawson with Kate Marillat. As the title of the book suggests, your beliefs are an extremely powerful driving force in your life - whatever you believe, is your reality. Here is an excerpt I hope you find as interesting as I did:

In allopathic medicine, the absolute power of belief systems is shown through placeboes, or ‘fake medicine’. Placebos don’t have to be pills - they can be creams, injections or even surgery - but if we believe in them, they will improve our health. Researchers have measured this by using variables such as colour, dosage and branding. Interestingly, the effect is greater if the dosage is increased. Shiny boxes and a capsule will trump a tablet, and an injection will work even better.1

Health authorities are well aware of the placebo effect. According to the UK National Health Service, 'The placebo effect is an example of how our expectations and beliefs can cause real change in our physical bodies. It's a phenomenon that we don't completely understand. But we can see it working in all kinds of ways, and all kinds of circumstances.2

Take this pain-relief study, where a group of students was told that they were going to take part in a study of a new painkiller called trivaricaine. This was a brown lotion that was to be painted on the skin. It smelled medicinal, but contained only water, iodine and thyme oil: it was a placebo. Of course the students were not told this.

The administrator of the 'medicine' donned gloves and a white lab coat. Each student had the trivaricaine painted on one index finger and the other left untreated. Then each index finger in turn was squeezed in a vice.

The students reported significantly less pain in the treated finger. They expected the 'medicine to kill pain, and sure enough, they experienced less pain. Even though the trivaricaine was a fake painkiller, expectation and belief had produced real results.3

This is only one example of hundreds of clinical trials that consistently demonstrate the power of the placebo. Essentially, what we believe can make us well. The medical authorities know it too. In March 2013, 783 doctors were polled about their use of sugar pills - a treatment they knew had no medical value - to aid patients' recovery. An overwhelming 97 per cent admitted that they had recommended a sugar pill, and one in 100 gave out these placebos at least once a week.4

The power of the placebo is becoming better known in part thanks to Dr Irving Kirsh, a professor at Harvard Medical School. Kirsh challenged the effectiveness of antidepressants, which are worth US$11 billion annually. Following an initial study in 1998, he invoked the Freedom of Information Act and obtained unpublished clinical trial data of antidepressants from American pharmaceutical companies. He found that when these data were included with his original findings, antidepressants outperformed placebos in only 20 of the 48 trials (less than half!) and that the overall difference between drugs and placebos was 'clinically insignificant'5. It was the belief in the placebo that directly influenced the subjects and had an impact on their physiology.

Placebo is Latin for 'I shall please.' Just as strong is the opposite term, nocebo, meaning 'I shall harm.' If we are told something negative, generally by a person in authority such as a doctor or teacher, it can have just as much power as the placebo, because we totally believe what they are saying. Being told that we have a specific period of time to live or are 'at risk of developing a certain disease', for example, may mean we believe it and so it comes true.

(Me again) What do you believe?

Do you believe that you are stupid? That you aren’t smart enough, pretty enough, fast enough, good enough?

Do you believe that money is hard to come by? I’ll never make more money? All relationships fail? The world is a dangerous place? All men are a$$holes? All women are *itches? People use me? People leave me?

What if you could truly believe that you are acceptable, loveable, special, worthy, and deserving, without faking it, lying to yourself, and/or trying to prove it?

What would that be like?

Do you even believe it’s possible?

Whatever you believe, is your reality, but it doesn’t mean it is the truth. When your beliefs change, your reality changes, your life changes. You experience less stress.

You can change your beliefs. It is possible. I’m not talking about just telling yourself to think differently; I mean truly believing something different.

And EFT is a powerful way to do that. EFT (Emotional Freedom Technique, or Tapping) helps you release the feelings and emotions that keep a belief in place, allowing you to form a new, supportive belief.

Do you feel that time is speeding up? That there is somehow less time in a day than there used to be?

Now, maybe there is some cosmic thing going on that the earth is spinning faster and the clocks are keeping up. Who knows.

But I have another theory.

I think we are ‘spending time’ on the future and the past. And if time is money, (lol) this gets expensive!

We ‘spend time’ on the future, worrying about all of our ‘what if’s’. We think about the worst case scenario. What if it goes wrong?

While we don’t know what is going to happen in the future and are so busy worrying about it, we are missing out on what is happening around us right now. We are not paying attention to the things like our teenager getting his license (what if he has an accident?), starting our new job (what if they don’t like me?), expecting a baby (what if she isn’t healthy?), doing the spring work (what if we don’t get the seeding done on time?). It goes on.

And we ‘spend time’ on the past. “If only I would have…”, “I wish they could have…”, “I should have…”.

The way I see it, when you are in the present moment, you are not ‘spending time’, you are in time. Present. Here. Now. And now. And now. Aware and witnessing what’s going on - around you, inside you.

Do you know the experience you have when there is an emergency and time slows down? When you are in the emergency situation, you are fully present to the moment, your senses are open and receiving information, you are paying attention to those senses. You are in time.

Now, I am NOT saying that you should go looking for or making emergency situations to slow time down!! Please don’t do that! What I am saying is that you are probably familiar with being present and the effect that it has on time.

I encourage you to be more present. Use your senses. Really tune into what you are seeing, hearing, tasting, smelling, touching, and feeling inside. Do this often. Do this regularly. Even pay attention to your senses while you are on-the-go.

I believe that the more ‘in time’ you are, the more time you will have.

“I’m such an idiot.”

“I’m too fat…no donut for me.”

“Nice one, loser.”

“I’m such a screw-up.”

“He wouldn’t like me, I’m ugly.”

“I’m not going to try…I’ll only fail anyway.”

“I’m not good enough.”

How often have you said these kinds of things to yourself? Probably countless times, maybe daily.

Now imagine saying this to a child…

“Timmy, You’re an idiot.”

“You’re too fat to have a donut, Johnny.”

“Betty, you will only fail anyway, so don’t bother trying.”

I’ll bet anything, you would NEVER THINK of saying this to a child! Ever! You know it would affect how they grow up, what kind of people they become, their self-confidence, self-esteem, self-love. You would hurt their feelings and even warp their self-image, perhaps beyond repair.

Why do we say these things to ourselves, then? What possible benefit are we hoping to achieve? Do we think that somehow as adults, these words hurt less? Warp us less? That somehow now they motivate us instead of tear us down? At what age do we think this ‘magical shift’ of the effects of the words takes place?

Here’s a tip…imagine within you, there is a little boy or a little girl. Take care of that child, like you would one of your own. Don’t say mean and hurtful things to him or her. Build him or her up to be a wonderful person, full of joy and love and ready to meet whatever the day brings.

I was 17 years old, a week or 2 after I graduated high school, before having Google maps on a phone was a thing, when I was involved in a car accident.

I was driving my family farm’s delivery van loaded with eggs to a store in a near city. It was my first time driving to this location and I wasn’t really sure how to get there. Before leaving the farm with my younger sister as a passenger, my older sister had shown me where I was to go. on a map

Nervous but quite confident, I went on my way. Getting into the city, I missed my exit, something my older sister explicitly told me not to do, and that she didn’t know what to do if I did miss it.

Flustered and a little lost, replaying my older sister’s warning in my head, I decided to make a U-turn at the next available opportunity.

Time slowed as, suddenly, I heard the honk of a horn and I felt the van jerk forward, slammed from behind. And I remember seeing in my sideview mirror, a truck pulling a camper trailer, eager to get to the lake on this warm July long weekend, digging its nose up the driver’s side of the egg van.

Thankfully, no one was hurt and only about a dozen eggs were broken, but for almost 2 years after that day, whenever I would hear a car horn, my body jumped, no matter how far off in the distance the sound originated.

I told myself that the horn didn’t matter, that the accident happened a long time ago, that there was no cause for alarm now, but none of that had a calming effect on the automatic jumping.

The human body never fails to amaze me. Our brain and nervous system is so good at keeping us safe that it is sometimes too good.

See, the unconscious mind takes in 11 million bits of information per second through the senses, what you hear, see, taste, smell, feel/touch. When a threat is detected, bits of this information are not fully processed, they are not put into longterm storage because they are important and meaningful- to your survival.

When I was in that accident, my body, or some part of my psyche, felt threatened - my survival was threatened, therefore, the sound of the horn was not fully processed in my mind, it was flagged as “dangerous”. Then later, after the accident, when I would hear the sound of a horn, my nervous system jumped into the fight/flight response to prepare for the perceived threat.

This happens to everyone. It can affect our lives to greater degrees than it may appear at first glance, even in ways that don’t seem “logical”.

For example, you might wonder what’s wrong with you because you suddenly become fearful, unconfident and withdrawn when your boss is around. But maybe as a kid you had an abusive stepfather that had long blond hair and so does your boss.

Maybe as an adult, you don’t know why you can’t bring yourself to go to your son’s baseball game, but it’s possible your childhood sweetheart broke up with you at a baseball game, maybe even in a different town.

Maybe the smell of a certain flower fills you with uncomfortable feelings and you can’t stand the sight of those flowers, because they were at your most-beloved Grandma’s funeral, 20 years ago.

It isn’t weird. It isn’t “out-there”. It isn’t woo-woo. It is our body’s way of trying to protect us, keep us safe. It is a marvellous system that has allowed us to survive for so long.

Think about it. You have a system that can store, catalog and almost instantaneously identify potential threats (even “perceived” potential threats) to prepare you for danger.

We can perceive threats where there is one (someone holding a knife pointed towards you) and where there isn’t one (a rubber snake). This system can keep us on high alert, full of stress, when we don’t need to be.

Thankfully, there are methods to calm the system down, to “deactivate triggers”, if you will, so that long blond hair, a baseball game, and flowers are not perceived as threatening but as the neutral things they truly are…so you can back to peaceful living.

I’m excited to offer a method that helps your nervous system to “stand down” in the face of triggers and calm its stress response. It is called tapping or EFT - Emotional Freedom Technique. It is a method you can do yourself and with guidance, you can get even greater results.

I have done a lot of reading as I work towards becoming certified in Clinical EFT (Emotional Freedom Techniques or “Tapping”). It is a self-help tool that one can do by themselves or be guided in to help release emotional baggage.

One thing that is made abundantly clear is that childhood matters! What happened to you when you were young has massive impact on your adulthood, even if your childhood was several decades ago!

I am not advocating (and neither are the books I am reading) that we blame our childhoods for our behaviours: “I had a rough childhood. That’s why I am a workaholic/jerk/unsuccessful business owner/etc. I can’t help it! I can’t change the past.” Rather, I am proposing that by exploring our childhood experiences, shifting our emotional relationship to those experiences and heal our past emotional wounds, we can release the emotional baggage we carry, break ineffective thought patterns we learned in childhood, change our genetic expression, heal our bodies, and reach our potential.

Does that sound unrealistic?

I’d like to share with you a combination from 2 of my textbooks, Genie in Your Genes and Psychological Trauma, both by Dawson Church.

There is an undeniable link between unresolved childhood trauma and adult disease. Though adverse childhood experiences are usually thought of as “emotional” or “psychological,” and conditions such as cancer, heart disease, diabetes, and high blood pressure are usually classified as “physiological,” the body understands no such distinctions.

In the 1990s, a landmark study was conducted by Kaiser Permanente, a huge hospital chain, in collaboration with the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). Called the Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACE) Study, it examined the health of 17,421 patients at Kaiser hospitals (Felitti et al., 1998). The researchers found that traumatic childhood events were associated with physical disease much later in life.

The physicians at Kaiser scored patients on various measures of family functionality. Stressors included an alcoholic parent, divorced or separated parents, a parent who was depressed or who had a mental illness, and domestic violence. Over half the participants had experienced one or more of the defining childhood stressors, and where one stressor was present, there was an 80% chance that others were too, leading to a web of family dysfunctionality. A low score meant few stressors; a high score indicated several.

The study found that a person raised in such a family had five times the chance of being depressed than one raised in a functional family. Such a person was three times as likely to smoke. Participants who scored high on the family dysfunctionality scale were at least thirty times more likely to attempt su***de than those who scored low. A man with a high score was 4,600% more likely to use illegal intravenous drugs.

Traumatic childhood events were associated with all the primary adult health risks or diseases including bone fractures, cancer, heart disease, high blood pressure, depression, smoking, su***de, and diabetes.

The genetic links between nurturing and gene expression in children have been traced in other studies. One found that children with a gene producing an enzyme that metabolizes neurotransmitters such as serotonin and dopamine were much more likely to become violent in their teens, “but only if they were mistreated as children.” Loving parenting is epigenetic therapy. Now that we understand this, our society should be pouring every possible resource into supporting parents and nurturing children, instead of ignoring abuse till the horrible results appear in later years.

Many other studies have found associations between psychological distress and physiological deterioration (e.g., Belanoff, Kalehzan, Sund, Ficek, & Schatzberg, 2001; Ford & Erlinger, 2004).

[These studies] emphasize that there are some negative experiences that we don’t just “get over,” and that time does not heal. The average age of participants in the ACE Study was 57, indicating that the traumatic events that led to disease had occurred half a century earlier.

The authors of the ACE Study compared the health care system’s focus on treating disease in adults to a fire brigade directing their water at the smoke, rather than at the fire below. They recommend that health care be refocused on treating the emotional traumas that are the source of most “physical” disease. While “psychological” and “physical” might be distinctions that are useful in medicine, the body simply does not make those distinctions.

(Me again…) If you are ready to redirect the water to the fire below the smoke and focus on healing emotional trauma, no matter how far in your past that might be, I would love to help you.
