Navigating Overwhelm, Hurt and Reactivity Successfully

Maybe this has happened to you...you were looking forward to Saturday night with your beloved, music on, scrumptious, savory take-out coming and fragrant candles lit. He/She starts inching towards you, closer, wanting to nuzzle up, you, on the other hand, notice that you’re starting to pull away, into yourself, feeling hard, because there’s quite a few hurts that aren’t fully resolved and you’re just not sure how to speak about it without getting reactive.

Your Biggest Relationship Successes Are NOT Going to Come Through Mindset..

It’ll be THIS Instead. I’m fired up about mindset this week because almost every relationship client from the online world talks about it almost immediately. They wonder why they failed to solve relationship problems with mindset, no matter how hard they tried. I wish they didn’t beat themselves up so hard about it. The answer? Hint: It’s not your fault. Contrary to what you have been told by other love mentors that you have to focus on mindset, keep it pumping with positivity all day long, don’t be negative otherwise you’re miscreating and more like this..

Initiations, Trust And The Mature Masculine

I know it seems like she’s nitpicking at you, and you’re taking it personally and ready to run for the hills. But really, she’s probably feeling self critical of herself and needs you to just love her and support her to get unde eath the judgment to what’s in the heart instead. This post is mainly for the men. Because every man I have ever worked with brings this up at some point in our work together. Along with WTF do I do because I love her, and she’s driving me up the wall. First.

Another Medicine Journey is Probably NOT Going to Give Your Relationship the Foundation for Everyday Sustainability...But I Know This Will Instead

I’ve witnessed a lot of people look to medicine jou eys (which I have deep respect for) as the be all - end all when it comes to transformation, hold it as the great and ultimate problem solver, clearer and the ultimate way. I’ve also observed some of the same people, including facilitators, really have a hard time in the integration process, feeling extremely discombobulated and wonder how to ground the magic they saw in their transcendent visions but then how to bring that into every day relationship with the people that matter most to them - their partners.

Have You Been Working With Coaches Who Tell You To Do Another Spiritual Ceremony or Practice To Help You Clear Away Your Relationship Challenges?

I have, and I tried it many times and failed and wondered why. Look, I know in the coaching world, there’s tremendous focus on insight, the ‘codes’ and transcending away your challenges through meditation, leading with soul and other spiritual methods. They’re not bad methods in and of themselves. I like many of them, a lot! Do you?

Judgment, Healing And Support In Partnership

"Why do I constantly feel like my relationship is on shaky ground, like any time I say/do something 'wrong' the other person might end it?” A client asked recently. You are NOT here to be canceled in a relationship dear one, instead, your unresolved guilt and abandonment issues are calling for non-judgment, support and resolution. And now is the perfect time to start to bring the resources to them they most need so you can say what’s in your heart and feel deeply secure that all will be well. But how do we begin to bring in those resources?

It’s Not That You’re Incompatible, It’s That Your Deep-Down Desire For Freedom Needs THIS.

It’s not that you’re incompatible and should break up because it’s too much, it’s that your souls have chosen to liberate so fully though the partnership and the big chunks of karma/trauma you’re working through need a level of curation, holding and expertise few have been trained to bring into relationship practice. But how? You start by letting go of the stories you’ve made out of the ‘too muchness or too intense or too overwhelmingness’ of the relationship.

When You Have Seemingly Non-Resolvable, Conflicts With Your Partner, Here’s The Way Out.

If you’re stuck in endless, seemingly non-resolvable, conflicts with your partner that don’t seem to really stop, there IS a way out. And yet, you can’t see it because you’re not aware of exactly what the full ‘cycle’ clearly is that has you getting into this conflict over and over again. Once you identify the repeating pattern and make THAT the enemy instead of each other, you’ll finally be on your way to healing. Let me explain..

Bliss Is A Journey of Choices

Bliss Is A Journey of Choices Bliss is not some shaktified, colonized, imperialized consumable state. Bliss is not all bon bons and orgasms all day while being fanned on a plush velvet couch with champagne at the ready. Bliss is not all ease and excitement as money comes rolling in. Bliss is not relegated to the wealthy, spiritual, or meditators only among us. Bliss is not a fantasy or only for the lucky. Bliss is not only for those who want nirvana. And it’s definitely not only for living in a transcendent cloud all day either.

You Don’t Really Have Communication Issues… It’s This Instead

The problem with couples relationships isn’t communication problems, it’s that deep feelings aren’t dignified with deep hearing and seeing, and felt sense communications... "Why can't I state my boundaries without heart pounding, tears, or being afraid of what the other person's response will be?” I was asked this week? It’s not that there is something wrong with you, or that you can’t do it. Hear it this way - this is a redirect from your body to clear the somatic imprint that goes along with expressing needs.

You Couldn't Get Enough Of Each Other, And Then THIS.

You couldn’t get enough of each other... intoxicated with the erotic… the most gorgeous, soulful, dripping sex and lovemaking every day and then power struggles hit your love-field like crazy. Is the relationship over or not meant to be? A Big NO! But, the truth is you just don’t have the embodied resources, TOGETHER, yet to consciously evolve the interpersonal growth work between you that the relationship brings up. But you can, and if you want to go from romantic love to the promised land of true love, this is the real honest work of the evolutionary partnership.

They’re Not Trying To Hurt You

She's not trying to hurt you when you open up, but you're convinced she is, and the same old activation stories get whipped up and cause nothing but pain. You're missing the giant vulnerabilities all around that haven't been addressed or dignified to release the pressure around the tender unde eath. And it's SOOO hard to do this in a culture that has yet to reckon collectively with vulnerability, but we are the creators of culture, you, me, and how we relate with this material, right here and right now. Let's start there.

Do You Wonder How To Have More Soul Satisfying Sex, Love and Closeness?

In one form or another these are the questions that keep me on my toes each and every week with my clients. Allow me to make this more simple. 1. Learn to tolerate and open to the entire range of vulnerability that comes up for you and you both in your couples journey. Get support for how to do that. Widen the window of tolerance that makes it manageable and an exploration rather than a place of avoidance or anxiety.
