Life Coaching with Christine Hassler

This is a juicy one! Stef and I talk about how our daughter Athena is taking us to the next level of inner child work...for ourselves and others. We discuss what inner child healing is and why it's so important - and what can happen (or not happen) in your life if you "keep the past in the past" and continue to neglect your own inner child. Inner child work is not woo-woo or airy-fairy...it is perhaps the most important and pivotal work you can do for yourself, your family, your community and the world.

This coaching call is about removing blocks. Today's caller, Matt, has fears related to starting a new entrepreneurial business based on childhood wounding. Christine offers guidance about how he can release his self-protective mechanisms and fears of not being worthy of success. [For show notes, go here: Christinehassler.com/episode435]. There are life-changing repercussions from significant childhood events where we felt shame, were not seen, or were not loved for who we are. Those events can create conscious and subconscious blocks because deep down our inner child believes something is wrong with them. Many of us don't get to where we want to go in life because we haven't healed the origin wound that is holding us back. We can get critical of the ways we believe we are sabotaging ourselves. But in reality, we are not sabotaging ourselves, we are protecting ourselves. The next time you notice yourself procrastinating or making excuses, put your hand on your heart and remember that it is just a form of self-protection and that you are safe to express yourself because you are an adult now and you've got this.

Sign up at christinehassler.com/joy Consider/Ask Yourself: Was there an event in your life that has dramatically impacted how you see yourself and how you see the world? Is there something you want to do, maybe a career you want to step into or a relationship you want to take to the next level but you're terrified? Do you fear rejection? Do you fear getting your heart broken, so much so that you don't go after the things you want? Matt's Question: Matt has blocks around starting a video production business. Matt's Key Insights and Ahas: He has a day job. He had an HIV diagnosis that changed his trajectory. He runs a support group for others with HIV. He fears that something will go wrong when he tries something new. He is in a two-year relationship. He has a block around planning for the future. He has childhood wounds around being who he is. He has a lot of awareness about his blocks. He's been incorporating inner child work into his life. He wants to get his website up and running but he is stalling and making excuses. He has time management concerns around starting a new business. He loves video editing and being creative. He acknowledges it is OK to have fears. He is ready to make a change. How to Get Over It and On With It: Change his language when talking about his fears and protective patterns. Don't get frustrated with the protective part of his psyche. Completely accept himself for who he is. Know he is lovable. Get a picture of himself as a teen and use it as a tool to follow his "why."

This coaching call is about doing the work and not expecting a partner to bring the romance to you. Today's caller, Joey, is yearning for more romance and intimacy in her marriage but her fear of abandonment may be holding her back from deeper intimacy. Christine offers guidance on how Joey can accept her partner for who he is and create more romance in her relationship. [For show notes, go here: Christinehassler.com/episode434]. We all can relate to that initial stage of a relationship where it's hot and heavy and you can't get enough of each other, and then it's ten years later. How do you sustain that? You can't. You cannot sustain the initial hormonal rush that happens when you first get together with someone. But, what you can do is grow your passion. When you initially meet someone, even if it's your soulmate and fireworks go off, the kind of intimacy you have with someone after you have known them for five, ten, or twenty years is much deeper. And, unfortunately, it cannot be so HOT sometimes because you know someone a little too well. However, if you can reframe how you see it, it can be a turn-on. Connect to your partner in a way that lights them up instead of expecting them to romance you and seduce you the way you think they should do it. Let that build the passion. Because when you are constantly on someone to be more romantic, passionate, and emotionally available, it is not a turn-on for them. When you take an interest in what your partner loves, it pays emotional and sensual dividends. Did you set goals for 2024? Being personally matched with a coach may be the support you need to make your intentions a reality. Commit to six highly-curated sessions and get a transformational experience for a low price. Apply at ElementumCoachingInstitute.com/CIT. Consider/Ask Yourself: Are you someone who wants more romance and passion in your relationship? Do you want more emotional intimacy in your relationship? Have abandonment wounds made you more avoidant in relationships? Are you willing to accept your partner for who they are and see that as the most romantic thing you could ever do? Joey's Question: Joey would like guidance on how to create emotional availability and intimacy in her marriage. Joey's Key Insights and Ahas: She and her husband do conscious healing work. She has abandonment wounds from childhood. She left her corporate work and is becoming a coach. She is not sure if it is her emotional unavailability, or her husband's, creating intimacy issues. She wants romance and passion from her husband. She has been married for ten years. She sets the bar for romance high because of her abandonment wounds. She may be overlooking when her husband sends intimate signals. She finds fault and resentment in her husband when he doesn't meet her expectations. She creates fantasy relationships with other men in her head. She is vague when asking for what she wants. How to Get Over It and On With It: Accept her partner for who he is and stop projecting on him. Reframe how she looks at passion, romance, and intimacy. Acknowledge, nourish, and encourage her husband when he does romantic or sensual things. Make space outside of her relationship to ensure intimacy lines don't get blurred. Remind herself that what she truly craves is consistency and stability. Be clear about what she wants.

This coaching call is about letting go of wanting to be right and healing a sister wound. As a teenager, today's caller, Mariella, idealized her older sister but didn't agree with her relationship choices. She feels her concern fell on deaf ears. She is asking for guidance on how to let go of her need to be right and to be happy with her sister. [For show notes, go here: Christinehassler.com/episode433]. In communications with others, we need to be honest with ourselves about whether we are sharing our feelings or just sharing our opinions. If we want vulnerable, healthy, authentic connections with people, use "I" language and share feelings rather than opinions. Because other people's lives are none of our business. We can have multiple opinions about the lives of others but they don't matter. Also, be honest with yourself about how often you want to be right. What do you get from being right? We can have a difference of opinion with others and not push the point without letting people walk all over us. An argument just to prove we are right is not worth the energetic real estate it takes to wait for our position to be validated. We can take 100% responsibility for our lives without being in other people's business. We can either let go of our past by processing and accepting it, or we continue to live with it in our present. Consider/Ask Yourself: Is there something that happened and you are waiting for someone to tell you that you are right? Have you been hurt or have you had an expectation hangover regarding your sister or a female friend? Are you someone who feels that you give more in relationships than you receive? Mariella's Question: Mariella would like to feel validated by her sister and let down the wall she has up when it comes to her sister's happiness. Mariella's Key Insights and Ahas: She felt her sister's ex wasn't good for her sister when she was young. She felt her sister chose her ex over her. She felt her sister didn't listen to her or take her views seriously. She was 13. Her sister was 18. She is waiting for her sister to tell her she was right. She finds it difficult to be happy for her sister. Her sister is going to remarry. She wants what is best for her sister. She feels a responsibility to keep the family in order. She is happily married. She feels that her feelings don't matter. She is disappointed that her sister doesn't fit into her idea of who she should be. She has difficulty coming to terms with who her sister is. How to Get Over It and On With It: Tell her inner child what she needs to hear without expecting her sister to do it. Realize her sister's life is not her business. Accept her sister for who she is. Be happy with her sister, not for her. Grieve and accept that she will never receive validation from her sister.

Dr. Julia DiGangi, a neuropsychologist with nearly two decades of experience, dives into the dynamic relationship between emotions and behavior. She discusses how emotions serve as a GPS for decision-making and the importance of integrating emotional energy for personal transformation. Dr. DiGangi also emphasizes the value of embracing emotional pain for growth, countering perfectionism's negative impacts, and effectively processing trauma through confrontation. Her insights shed light on achieving emotional well-being by understanding and harnessing our brain's power.

This coaching call is about learning to trust others. Today's caller, Samantha, was bullied as a child and finds it difficult to trust others enough to make new friends. She asks for guidance on expanding her circle of friends and allowing herself to be truly seen by others. [For show notes, go here: Christinehassler.com/episode432]. We can get a thousand compliments, and a thousand great things can happen but we always seem to remember the one yucky thing someone said or did. And, often, it can be much stronger than yucky. It can be downright traumatic. Being bullied, not feeling like you fit in, and not feeling that you can trust people are very traumatic because they push against our need for belonging, which is a safety and survival need. If you have a hard time trusting people, really the person you don't trust is yourself. If you are looking at something in your life that feels like a big problem or block, look to where the beliefs or behaviors have served you. Consider how you can reframe it. Choose wisely or pay attention to your intuition if something comes up. Or, if someone betrays you, stand up for yourself. Stand up to a bully. Get honest with yourself, and stop playing the victim.

Are you expecting people to hurt you and find it hard to trust others? Was there an early-life event that shaped the way you make friendships and let people in? Samantha's Question: Samantha struggles to trust people and would like guidance on how to be more open to expanding her inner circle. Samantha's Key Insights and Ahas: She was bullied as a young girl. She doesn't trust people immediately. She wants to be open to additional friendships. People don't seem safe to her. She feels people are out to get her. She feels blocked from making new friends. She wants to protect herself and be free. How to Get Over It and On With It: Learn to trust herself. Reframe what she tells herself. Challenge her existing beliefs.
