When a man is gentle, soft,
and consistently respects you,
that's when your nervous system starts healing.

That's why some women have that special glow when they're being loved right in a relationship.
It's not the love itself, it's the emotional safety.

Live in the NOW...... not in the THEN.....

COACHNG TIP OF THE DAY.

Do you find yourself looking for the negative in situations?
*
*
Are you very reactive and are not thinking before speaking or lashing out?
*
*
Do you feel like you are all alone in most situations?
*
That my friends is caused by past emotional wounds that are coming to the surface because you never actually healed them.
*
*
*
You are reacting to something your brain remembers.
There is pain associated with your feelings
There is fear associated with your feelings
There is abandonment present and you just don't realize it.

Let's take a deep breath
Decide how important it is to be in fight or flight response

Reach out to me for more tips on how to rise above the pain.

People with anxious attachment styles may have a strong need for constant reassurance and validation from others. They may also have a fear of abandonment and rejection, and may internalize a lack of affection and intimacy as a sign that they are not worthy of love.

Does this sound like you?

Let's talk about it.

As a Life Coach, I see this all the time.

Most of my clients and people who reach out to me, are dealing with past emotional trauma.

Sometimes you realize it and sometimes you don't.

Let's face it, we all have had past emotional wounds of some kind, right?

Your emotional pain could have come from something or someone that you don't even engage with anymore, but it left a lasting impression.

You may have just put up with something for so long that now it is stuck in your neural pathway and has become a negative part of your life.

I can help you unravel all of it.

Reach out and I will be all ears.

I would love if the Living Free From Fear Movement could be nominated for this Get Loud Award.

When you are sharing your emotional pain and past traumatic experience with another person, it matters if they are feeling Empathy for Sympathy.

Sympathy, although it seems nice, doesn't feel good at all to someone who is in pain. It further frustrates them.

Empathy feels safe and creates a sense of healing.

Sympathy feels unsafe and creates a sense of anxiety that you are the only one who has experienced this.

Empathy is like a warm hug
Sympathy is more like a cold shoulder overshadowed with care.

You are not the only one who has experienced this pain and I am here to help you through.

I have started an International Movement called Living Free From Fear. Livingfreefromfear.com

You can share your story in a safe, welcoming environment.

Please check us out.

Are you in the gray area?

Most of us feel like we are in between feelings.

Our life gets in the way and keeps us stuck in the middle.

Doesn't it feel like that sometimes?

I have heard people say to me, "I feel like an imposter"
and that is because they have not healed a past emotional wound.

Let me help you.
