The Michelle Chalfant Show — Life from the Adult Chair

Happy Halloween! After so many questions coming in about The Adult Chair, I felt like it was time to do a show on this. In today's episode I answer where the Adult Chair is and how to get it back if you've lost access to it. How to find your Adult if you never witnessed a healthy one growing up. Lastly, I answer what the Adult Chair even is. It's a fun episode with examples and the key to gaining your own Adult's wisdom and living with it daily for your own transformation. 30 Day Journaling Challenge https://theadultchair.com/30Days

Relationships with narcissist are insidious. They begin one way and over time, very slowly and covertly, change and become poison. We wake up one day and wonder what we did wrong and how we got here. We blame ourselves and can even feel embarrassed to tell others. In today's very vulnerable show. Tracy shares her story of narcissism. She married a wonderful man and within a 2 year period, her life had drastically changed and she couldn't understand what was happening and began doubting herself. She fell into a depression and lived with anxiety and had lost her self, in 2 short years. Tracy walks us through her story and in the end we offer advice for those that are also in these types of relationships and what you can do about it to begin to build yourself up and find your (true) self again.

Well today's show we are diving into The Adult Chair model and looking deeper at our "parts". Our inner unconscious parts are running the show until we bring them into awareness to transform. Today I am going to show you how to use this model and transform your inner parts that are driving you to do things or act in ways that are limiting you. As always, I have included easy to use steps for you to work with this concept today and begin your transformation right away. Get ready for shifts with today's episode!

What a show! Today's show with special guest - Marriage and Family therapist, Meghan Crough was as empowering as it was inspirational. Meg answered so many important questions about raising kids. We talked about so many things including temper tantrums or angry kids, how to discipline effectively, boundaries versus control, what to do if you have a spouse or co-parent with different values and ideas about parenting and most importantly how to raise empowered, successful kids. It is a show not to be missed if you are wanting to learn more about parenting successfully. Meg clearly knows her stuff and explained clearly how to raise authentic and healthy kids. http://TakeCareOf.com promo code ADULT http://MeghanCrough.com

This show was incredible! Ramona Reid, Enneagram coach and I had a fascinating conversation about how our childhood wounding affects us later on in life and creates the masks that we wear to cover up our wounding. Ramona does a beautiful job of blending the Enneagram into The Adult Chair and teaches us how to live from our essence (otherwise known as our Adult Chair), regardless of our wounding. She goes over each enneagram type with us and explains how each type has a specific wounding and mask that we wear. This show as as cool as it was informative! Even if you have never heard of the Enneagram, you will benefit from listening as it will deepen your understandings of your wounding and how you are showing up in the world. If you want to listen to the previous two shows that Ramona has been on to deepen your understanding of the Enneagram, see the show notes below. They are all brilliant shows!

Why do people cringe at the suggestion of setting a boundary? So many people respond with, "I don't like confrontation", when I suggest a boundary. Setting boundaries is tough to do if we were not modeled healthy boundaries growing up. Even if we came from a pretty healthy family, few people grew up with healthy boundary modeling. In today's show I talk about what boundaries are, how to set them, examples of healthy versus unhealthy boundaries and the four key steps and "how to's", to setting healthy boundaries. I also discuss what to do when boundaries "backfire" and we are met with upsetness or anger from another at our simple request. I end with a few take aways of what boundaries are and are not and what to do if you are in a toxic or even abusive relationship. Boundaries are a necessary part of our lives and a key to healthy relationships. This show is filled with great tools and tips to help you to start better taking care of yourself and learning how to set a simple request and teaching other people how to treat you.

Am I in a toxic relationship? I unfortunately get asked this question all too often. I find that what feels "normal" is actually toxic but due to low self esteem or loss of self, we find ourselves living in not so healthy or even unhealthy, toxic relationships. In today's show I go over 6 signs of toxic relationships. I explain what to look for in toxic relationships and how to know if you are in one. I also offer next steps to heal and transform yourself out of the toxic relationship. https://theadultchair.com/events The Adult Chair San Antonio October 24-26

What would you think if I told you that joy could be part of codependency? Well it can! Codependency and I have been friends for too many years to count (most of my life). However, in my discovery of this, I have found joy in learning who I am as an Adult and taking my childhood back. I might even say that I find it now as a gift as I now get to discover who I am and it's an exciting journey to take as an Adult. I feel my inner child come through me with excitement and wonder with all of the new thoughts, ideas and plans "we" have for my future. The journey can be an exciting one when we shift our idea about codependency and step out of victim mode. Just because we grew up codependent or are experiencing it now doesn't mean our lives are over! It means our lives can begin and the time is now to experience the joy that comes with this self-discovery process.

I'm back from my summer break! Welcome to the first show of our new podcast year. I am so excited about our guest today. I have spoken for months about Myofascial Release Technique and am finally having our in house expert on the show! Diana Schneider, Advanced Myofacial Release Therapist is on today talking all about what the technique is and how it can help you. This technique has been a beautiful complement for my own clients as well as part of my bi-weekly self care. It's a wonderful way to release emotions, take the body out of fight or flight, help the body to "calm down" from anxiety and relax and so much more. It's also wonderful for people with locked muscles, physical pain, fibromyalgia and chronic fatigue. Myofascial Release is a technique that releases emotions out of the fascia, the film that resides over the muscles, which creates a relaxed state in the body and mind. Diana and I talk all about how it works and who it can help (all of us). :) I can't wait for you to hear this show!

This is the last show replay for the summer. It's a wonderful show where I work with a client on breaking her negative patterns. There is a lot to be learned from this show. The only way you're going to heal is to own your life. That's the overriding message of the show today and it comes thanks to the story of a fabulous client we'll call "Carolyn." She's graciously offered her story for this week's show as a demonstration of owning your own stuff, and making great strides in breaking the damaging patterns and programs that play over and over in our lives. Thanks to her work with the Chairs, she's found grounding and hope in moving forward through relationship addiction and more. https://TakeCareOf.com Promo code: Adult For 25% off your first Care/Of order.

Today I share with you how we create Healthy Relationships from The Adult Chair. Unfortunately, so many of us aren't taught how to have healthy relationships. In fact, most of us enter into relationships with a lot of baggage which can activate our triggers, and leave us feeling helpless and not sure what to do to help or improve our relationship. In today's show I offer tools and tips on how we can create and/or improve our relationships. A big part of healthy relationships is being able to communicate effectively, which again so many of us are unsure how to do. Today's tools can be applied to any relationship, not only romantic ones. I hope you find hope, clarity and empowerment after listening to today's show as now you too can begin to create new stronger connections in your own life and with others. https://theadultchair.com/events The Adult Chair events: San Antonio, TX October 25-28

Feeling drained or fatigued? Maybe you pick up on other people's emotions and can feel what they are feeling? This "phenomena" is not random, these are qualities of an empath. Many of us are walking around with anxiety, depression, aches and pains and are not aware that these too are common "issues" empaths can have. This was how I spent the first half of my life, until I learned about empaths and how to set better boundaries for myself. When we understand the qualities of being an empath, we can get healthy and live in the world with greater peace and better health. In today's show, Sarah Weiss shares incredible information about being an empath as well as the blessings and difficulties that come along with it. It was an awesome conversation, jam-packed with invaluable information. https://theadultchair.com/events The Adult Chair events: San Antonio, TX October 25-28 Sarah Weiss website https://spirithealonline.com Episode 21: Grounding and the Energy of the Earth with Sarah Weiss https://theadultchair.com/podcast/21

Ouch! Did someone call you a control freak?! I get it...been there with that label. We think that we are getting so much done, life feels like it's in order and things are just, "better" because of how we see and operate in the world. It's just "who we are." I had to sit with that one when someone told me years ago that I was a control freak. I contemplated..."It isn't who I am?" "Who would I be without my control?" Well it scared the crap out of me frankly. After examining my own control and working with clients for years on this "issue" I can thankfully say that I am on the other side of it but still very aware of it and recognize when it tries to sneak into my life under the radar. I realize that without it, I felt stripped away of my very identity. So I had to learn who I was without it. It was a painful ego transformation as it was such a part of who I was! In today's show, I give you 6 "control busting truths" to help you too to loosen the grip of your inner control freak. As scary as it was for me to face this inner part, I can honestly say my life is much easier without this part running my life. I know that when you begin to loosen the grip of yours and experience another way, life changes for the better and you will find much more peace in your life and something new may emerge...trust!

How do you feel about anger? What do you do with your anger? Do you shove it down and override it with being "nice" so you "don't rock the boat"? Many of us grew up with unhealthy anger modeling. Maybe you had a narcissistic and angry parent in the home. Perhaps when you had anger in your home, you were told it was unacceptable or even bad. Whatever the case may be, anger is a healthy and much needed emotion. Anger fuels our power and can help us to make decisions and take steps forward in our lives. It's a powerful emotion, when expressed from our Adult Chair. In today's show, I give you two client examples of how their lives were able to change and transform when they allowed themselves to feel anger. Get excited, you are about to hear about all the benefits of anger and how to unlock and express yours.

Abuse can be tricky, it can be subtle and ease into our lives. We can be living with it and might not even be aware of it. Abuse comes in many forms and not just the obvious physical abuse. Codependency, narcissism, control, trauma, enmeshment, addictions etc. can all play into this dance of abuse. On today's show, Christine Gutierrez and I have a vulnerable and open discussion about abuse. Christine offers some incredible examples and tools on how to recognize if you are being abused, what you can do about it and the changes that can be made to empower yourself right now. https://christineg.tv/ @Cosmicchristine (Instagram) https://fiercelovenow.com (Website) Ned: https://helloned.com/adult Promo: Adult https://theadultchair.com/membership

When most of us here the word PTSD (post traumatic stress disorder), we think of someone that has come out of the military. While this can be very true for our military personnel, PTSD affects many others and they may not even know. So many suffer from chronic anxiety, depression, insomnia and more and are unaware that the root issue could be PTSD. This is exactly what happened with me. In today's show I go through symptoms of PTSD and offer stories and examples of how this may be showing up in your life. Lastly, I offer techniques and strategies for change.

I get asked this question all the time, "What do I work on next?" "I realize I have so many things to work on and don't know where to begin!" In today's show I offer ideas on what to work on next, what direction to take while on your path of healing, and how to stay in the flow while doing it. Whether it be codependency, anxiety, relationship problems, working with self-esteem or any healing goal you have, there is a way to do this from your Adult Chair and today I share with you just how to do that. https://theadultchair.com/membership https://Mymyro.com/adult

So many of us live life from The Adolescent Chair. We rush and busy ourselves to the point of exhaustion. We stress ourselves out and wind up living with anxiety, depression and other ailments. We lack presence and feel like if we keep doing we will find our answers and that maybe when we get enough done, our problems will go away, our pain will be erased, and our stress will be gone. What if finding relief was easier than you imagined? There is magic in being that can change your life. When we are able to just "be," we can find our true Self - the self with a capital S. When we can connect into this part, our truest essence, our problems can transform, we gain clarity that we could't find before, our "to-do" list shortens, and magic happens. In today's show, I share with you the difference between meditation and being, tools to enter and live in this state, and the power we find with being. It is truly magical, and you can transform your life when you learn how. For this is where we find our Adult Chair, which is the truest version of ourselves. https://theadultchair.com/workshop https://theadultchair.com/membership Sponsor: Ned https://helloned.com/Adult

Do you ever feel stuck in life? Like you can't catch a break with some people and you keep getting the short end of the stick? Have you ever thought that you are missing something and that you actually have limiting beliefs or filters that are causing you to keep attracting in bad jobs, unsuccessful relationships, unhealthy friendships, not enough money etc.? Limiting beliefs and filters can keep us stuck, disempowered and make us feel small, like a victim and even send us down the path of anxiety and depression. In today's show I give you a couple good examples what limiting beliefs are and how they block us from happiness and success. Most of us are unconscious of our limiting beliefs and filters yet they are ruling our lives! It's time to make them conscious. Today I offer you ways to find your own limiting beliefs and filters that keep you stuck and how to shatter them, and create a feeling of empowerment and freedom in your life. https://theadultchair.com/workshop https://theadultchair.com/membership
