  • Overcoming Trauma and Unlocking Healing with EFT: Transform Your Life with Stephany Ann
    2024/07/24
    In this episode, I’m joined by Stephany Ann, an extraordinary individual, a former attorney and recipient of the governor's award for advocacy with survivors of domestic violence, who triumphed over narcissistic abuse. With two marriages to narcissists behind them, she harnessed the transformative power of the Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT) to guide others on their path to healing and personal growth. Stephany is a dedicated advocate for survivors of narcissistic abuse and relationship trauma, specializing in helping them navigate the path to freedom. Her expertise lies in closing the door on past pain and opening new doors on their journey to healing and self-discovery. As a storyteller and conversationalist, she weaves the threads of healing, self-love, and worthiness into empowering narratives. She discusses the importance of using different modalities, such as journaling, EFT (Emotional Freedom Techniques), and intuitive movement, to process trauma and regain control over one's life. Stephany also talks about setting firm boundaries, reframing her narrative, and an upcoming empowering retreat she is leading to Peru. With a touch of Empress energy and an adventurous spirit, Stephany invites you to join her transformative journey toward love and liberation Timestamps: [01:41] Stephany’s story and the patterns of unworthiness she experienced [05:45] How Stephany shifted her perspective on her past relationships [10:19] How Stephany used EFT to rewire her brain and heal from the trauma [13:12] How "love bombing" in the beginning a relationships led to patterns of unworthiness [15:53] The importance of sitting with and processing emotions through EFT [19:43] Three-step process of EFT and how it helps clients release negative emotions [23:12] Benefits of positive affirmations and visualizing the person you want to become [25:00] The value of having quiet time for self-reflection [26:17] Discovering different healing modalities beyond just talk therapy [29:26] The importance of vulnerability and being honest with yourself [31:17] The power of journaling as a safe place to express yourself [34:32] Reframing your narrative and finding the lessons in past relationships [45:04] Learning to set firm boundaries and not participate in unproductive interactions Quotes: I was just so stuck for so long in, in my victim's story, I couldn't shift out of it. And so when I felt like God was saying, Stephanie, see your story through a different lens. See your story through a different perspective. Take the step back and look. And I started to do that, because when you're stuck in the victim story, it's hard to see the lessons.Getting out of these relationships, we have to rewire our thought process. We have to rewire our brain. We have to shut off that voice of them in our head saying, right. No one will ever love you. You will never find anyone better than me.For so long we've been told the negatives. So we need a lot of the positive affirmation.It's going to take that vulnerability just with yourself. You don't have to make an announcement to anybody. Right. You don't have to do anything. Just saying like, I need to stop and be quiet and go, yeah. I still have something to work on.We have the keys to unlock our healing and our potential and our empowerment. But it's just, you need the tools. And if you don't have the tools, here is EFT is one tool that can go in your toolbox.There's something very empowering when you can, you know, you say you wanna be empowered and we've been tapping on it and doing all these things. Yes. So, okay, well, we're gonna go to another country. We're gonna do something very physically hard.

  • Leaving a Narcissist with Chantal Contorines: Strategic Planning for High-Conflict Divorces
    2024/07/10

    In this episode, I’m joined by Chantal, a mom of 2 who was partnered for 25 years and left when she was 39. She is a high-conflict divorce coach who specializes in narcissistic abuse and has created a one-of-a-kind 12-week program for those who are ready to leave and know they need expert support, strategies, and guidance. Chantal shares her expertise on navigating divorces from narcissistic partners. She emphasizes the importance of strategic planning, hiring the right professionals, and understanding the tactics used by narcissists during the divorce process. Chantal also discusses the role of boundaries, self-worth, and healing after such a traumatic experience.

    Chantal further discusses the covert facade that narcissists often present to the outside world, which can make it challenging for victims to recognize the abuse they're experiencing. She shares insights on how narcissists maintain this facade, triangulate their victims, and gaslight them into doubting their reality. Chantal also emphasizes the importance of understanding these tactics to avoid falling prey to predatory relationships and prioritizing one's healing journey.

    Quotes
    • Narcissists are really about winning at all costs. It doesn't matter what kind we're talking about; if we're talking about a vulnerable or malignant, covert or overt, they all need to feel victorious.
    • I don't think I'm perfect, but I know I'm a great catch. It's not that I'm perfect. I don't expect perfection. I don't want perfection. I don't look perfect. I don't act perfectly. I have issues. But overall, I am a good person, and I'm a really good catch.
    • Having boundaries is your biggest protector and safeguard against abuse because abusers start small. It's the micro-testing of your boundaries when you first start.
    • Even when it's good, even when you are on the best vacation, and you're having the time of your life, it's still abuse. Everything about the relationship is not real. You are constantly living in a state of survival.

  • Dance, Shake, Heal: Techniques for Stress and Trauma Relief with Angie Berrett
    2024/06/26
    In this episode, I’m joined by Angie Berrett, an Intuitive Movement Coach, Advanced Trauma-Informed Yoga Instructor, Registered Nurse, and Stand-Up Paddleboard Yoga Instructor who understands the human body and how it works. She helps people use play and movement to connect to their bodies, releasing stress, anxiety, depression and trauma. Having journeyed from a child abuse survivor to a registered nurse and eventually a yoga instructor, she has dedicated much of her life to caring for others. In 2017, she reached a low point and embarked on a path to healing. Through discovering playful movements, she learned to listen to her body and overcome her suffering in ways traditional methods couldn't achieve. Today, she uses these experiences to help others heal their pain and transform their lives. Angie is the Owner and Creator of the Angie Berrett Movement, where she coaches individuals on releasing stored trauma from their bodies while enhancing energy, strength, and flexibility. Her expertise has been featured in Psychology Today, Brainz Magazine, Authority Magazine, Bustle, Subkit, The Feisty News, and NewsBreak. Additionally, she has appeared on several podcasts, including The Bright Side of Life, Caregiver Chronicles, Wellness by Design, and Billy Dee’s Podcast, among others. Today, Angie shares her journey of surviving child abuse, hitting rock bottom, and discovering the healing power of play and movement. She discusses how she now helps others transform their lives by using playful movement techniques to release stress, anxiety, depression, and trauma. She explains the science behind how trauma affects the brain and body and shares practical techniques for releasing stored tension and resetting the nervous system. Tune in to learn why activities like dancing, shaking, and even throwing "temper tantrums" can be powerful tools for processing difficult emotions and experiences. Timestamps: [02:48] Angie's journey of trauma and hitting rock bottom [07:22] Seeking help and starting the healing process [08:59] Discovering yoga and trauma-informed practices [11:40] Learning about the power of play in healing [14:35] How Angie helps clients through playful movement [19:29] Demonstration of swaying exercise for body awareness [22:52] Play vs. competition for adults [25:00] Different play activities and their benefits [28:21] The hand brain model and how stress affects the brain [31:33] The nervous system's stress responses [34:37] How chronic stress builds up in the body over time [37:50] Techniques for releasing stored tension and energy [41:34] The importance of "shaking it off" to discharge stress Quotes: Play is something that helps get us into a state where our minds can shut off. We can separate from our trauma, and we can be in our sensory experiences without overwhelm or overload.When I use the term play, I really use it in a way that there is no set outcome for what's gonna happen. It's not competitive. There is no I win, I lose. It's more about the exploration of, oh, what did I experience along the way?Play and movement give us the opportunity to release that fight or flight energy in a way that's not actually taking us into that stress.Our rational brain is gonna limit us 100% of the time. So when we can find ways to turn that off, your body is gonna give you the information when you start learning how to listen to it, of how to release it.Animals out in the wild have traumatic experiences, but they don't develop PTSD or residual stress like humans do to the same degree that we do. And the reason is because after animals in the Wild have had a traumatic experience, they'll shake it off.Chronic stress actually can and regularly does turn into trauma for most of us. so the hand brain model is something that is a fantastic way of learning what happens in our body and why play and movement are so helpful for trauma, like child abuse, domestic abuse, that kind of stuff, as well as the chronic stress.
