You can take charge of your personal growth and become more You.
The most basic truth of being human is that we are vulnerable: there are limits to our ultimate control over outcomes that matter to us. And vulnerablity feels like something in the body. It feels like "dissonance". Dissonance is an uncomfortable feeling of anxiety: muslce tension and agitation. It is your body asking you to assure it that it is safe, here and now. The problem is that we are wired to move away from the feeling of dissonance.
Rather than avoid it, we need to approach dissonance. Dissonance needs to become your best friend. It is your personal call to growth. When we can approach ourselves in the felt sense of vulnerability in the moment in the body, we soothe the body and then we can grow.
In seminars, DVD's, workshops, my private practice, and in my upcoming book, To Have and To Hold: Loving Your Vulnerable Self to Live Your Biggest Life, I help people become aware of and take care of feelings in the body that signal emotion. I help people do what doesn't come naturally: listen for dissonance, approach it, take care of it. So they can matter, so they can grow.
Join me in my weekly blog where I chronicle my ongoing journey and my work with clients as we grow our ability to matter - please feel free to check it each week and to write in and share your own observations.
Also, please sign up for my free e-course (cllick on the box above) - I'll send you concrete tips and offer support for you in learning to listen for your call to growth.
My aim is to guide and support people to have and to hold... to have the complexity and richness of their authentic selves and to hold themselves with compassion. The outcome for you? More connection, more resilience, and your biggest life. I invite you to grow your capacity to have and to hold!
You can learn to recognize and take care of the signals that let you know you are on the cusp of an experience that could grow you, so you can matter, so you can grow.
Dissonance is your biologically wired power tool for growth. The basic truth of being human is the fact they we are vulnerable - there are limits to our ultimate control over outcomes that matter to us. And vulnerability feels like something in the body... It feels like dissonance. Dissonance is a physical feeling of anxiety - muscle tension and agitation. And we are wired to move away from this feeling.
