Obstacles and Openness to Thriving

Send us Fan Mail Karen shares an epiphany she had with a patient recently. Her patient was doing really well but then the things that had been working just stopped, seemingly out of nowhere. They had to work together to find the obstacles to healing so that she could start improving again. This made use think about how often this is true in perimenopause, and the ways that we can even become our own obstacle to thriving. Some questions arose that we realized we need to ask ourselves: What do we use to sense our worth or to see ourselves as valuable? What are our unspoken agreements with ourselves? What ways do the unspoken agreements end up draining you, and maybe even making physical symptoms worse? How can we take power back - empower ourselves - by breaking these unspoken agreements with ourselves? We talk through some of our own answers to these questions and how this is showing up in our lives. Saying it loud is powerful, and we invite you to join us.

Karen shares an epiphany she had with a patient recently. Her patient was doing really well but then the things that had been working just stopped, seemingly out of nowhere. They had to work together to find the obstacles to healing so that she could start improving again. 

This made use think about how often this is true in perimenopause, and the ways that we can even become our own obstacle to thriving. 

Some questions arose that we realized we need to ask ourselves: 

  • What do we use to sense our worth or to see ourselves as valuable?
  • What are our unspoken agreements with ourselves?
  • What ways do the unspoken agreements end up draining you, and maybe even making physical symptoms worse?
  • How can we take power back - empower ourselves - by breaking these unspoken agreements with ourselves?

We talk through some of our own answers to these questions and how this is showing up in our lives. Saying it loud is powerful, and we invite you to join us.
