Do you have an Inner Critic who is like a sports reporter that plays a running commentary on how well you are doing? If so, you are not alone. Many of us high-achievers suffer from critical jabs and barbs. The Inner Critic pushes us to succeed, but when we’re not perfect, our Inner Child takes a big hit. Read more
I’m posting Elaine’s evaluation from our weekend retreat, “Your Authentic Life”, on April 2013 where we did two Breathwork sessions. When Elaine did her inner child healing, it yielded a surprising unexpected result. Her 20-year eating disorder was healed. Elaine gave me permission to publish her evaluation form. Read more

Do you judge yourself for being needy? Well, I did for the longest time. Read more
In this brief article, you’ll learn 8 keys to transforming the limiting patterns in your life so you stop wasting precious time.
When we experience difficulties as children (or in the womb or in childbirth) and we don’t return to feeling safe and secure in our body and with our loved ones, we split off from ourselves to avoid feeling the anguish. Unconsciously, our Authentic Self flies away because it feels too scared to stay 100% present. Read more
How to Manage your Inner Critic, Access your Authentic Self and Resolve Internal Conflicts
As a young psychotherapist, my mentors told me that I was one of the most talented counselors they had seen. Even though I was successful in my career, self-doubt made me feel insecure inside.

It’s winter. I am feeling drawn to 
go deep inside, like a caterpillar feels drawn to spin a cocoon and close out the rest of the world. There seems to be a metamorphosis occurring that I do not quite understand. I need more peace and quiet. It is not acceptable to be so busy anymore. I have been having dreams indicating core transformation. Read more

“Erica’s Personal Journey”
There are times in each of our lives when the entire course of our life seems to change. Sometimes, the change is so dramatic it feels like it must have been preordained.
