“Why is it so hard to trust my gut?”

Have you ever had the experience of needing to make a decision in the midst of feeling so much uncertainty, doubt and confusion?

If so, this is for you …

Perhaps, in those moments, people offered something like "Trust your gut" but that didn't bring any clarity ... if anything that might have caused you to feel even more frustrated. Maybe, you even beat yourself up for not being able to do that either. So, what was already hard became even harder.

For many of us, trusting our gut is not as simple as it sounds and ... for a good reason!

We may have grown up in environments in which we had to hush our inner knowing and what I call our knowing no as a way of keeping the peace, staying connected and out of trouble. 

Understandably, needing to do that over and over again may have caused us to stray farther and farther away from ourselves ...  not because we wanted to but because we had to. 

I get it. I know what that's like and how confusing it feels when doing what's right feels wrong; whereas, doing what's wrong feels strangely... right, more comfortable and less risky.

It's disorienting isn't it? No wonder it's hard to trust our gut! When we’re in a situation where what's right is "wrong" and what's wrong is "right,” then no wonder we may feel a kind of inner fog.

Wouldn't it feel great to about your day with more clarity, confidence and a kind of steady ease? If so, you may be interested in my upcoming, six week online course, which begins February 7th:

Coming Back to You: Combining Somatic Experiencing & Inner Relationship Focusing (IRF) to Help Heal Developmental Trauma

Over the course of the six weeks you’ll learn how to  …

• ​Cultivate an inner resilience so you can meet stressful moments and challenging times with greater clarity and steadiness

• Turn towards and be with big feelings (such as grief and anger) in a gentle and safe way so you don't get overwhelmed 

• Savor the feel of pleasant experiences as a way of resourcing and nourishing yourself 

• Discover what makes triggers so darn triggering and what you can do when triggered

• Develop an empathic relationship between you and a younger you who may still be suffering in some way

• Transform your relationship with inner critics so you experience them as being on your side and having gifts to offer 

• Tap into the body feel of "Yes! This fits" as a way of reconnecting with your body's wisdom and inner knowing 

• Exercise agency by following your body's process and honoring what feels right for you

​

The group size is a minimum of 6 participants to a maximum of 10. Live attendance is encouraged but not required. And, no prior experience with SE or IRF required.
