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

When we experience a trauma, there is a part of us that can get stuck in time, yet we continue to physically grow. Part of the work of the Adult Chair is finding these parts and integrating them into the self in order to help us to feel whole and healthy.

It was a beautiful session and I am so grateful to Sarah for sharing her experience.
