Choose Your Responses
Because I have processed and gained an understanding of my past trauma, that doesn't mean the memories are gone. Unexpected reminders can highlight old experiences activating survival responses.
Apr 15, 202307:13
The Final Performance
Someone (myself included) is always reminding us of what we think we need or want and what we ARE NOT DOING. And if we're not grounded, inner safety isn't secured, anchors in place, and a bare minimum of self-worth in place, those reminders can feel defeating and drain our energy leaving us feeling unsafe.
Does this resonate with you?
So, I have to ask myself, "How am I contributing to the social pressure for myself and others to perform?"

Love is Never a Mistake
Mistakes happen and apologies for the error(s) are a common expectation.
However, we may find ourselves standing in left field wondering how to right a wrong, especially if we apologize for OUR feelings that surface as a result of the mistake.

Mixed Messages
Those messages you think may be mixed? You aren't reading them wrong. Most likely they are mixed; however, it's not only the messages that are the issue.

Allow me to share with you my experiences in this difficult to navigate area of communication.

I Am Sher Unbound
In one moment, with one statement, I staked my claim on the present. I AM. The only thing I must be is enough for myself.
Jun 03, 202206:02
Integration of Love With Awareness
With so many not allowing themselves to acknowledge and embrace their value (hidden behind unhealed wounds), it is of no surprise to me why it is so much of a struggle to feel our authentic selves and share our gifts. It's also of no surprise why survivors struggle to free themselves of their past and thrive with Awareness of Self-Love.
May 29, 202205:33

My intent is to feel, not simply exist with the unconscious survival mechanisms. I invite you to share this major win with me!!

Shame is an Anchor
When we fear open dialogues because our story may hurt someone or it hurts too much to tell, we are carrying shame as an anchor. This anchor prevents us from exploring the abundance of life that is available to everyone.

Emotional Triggers
We can wake up and have the best of intentions to start our day off right with breathwork, meditation, a full glass of water before we gulp our coffee...and in a flash, we are triggered. Automatically we step into our survival program (fight, flight, freeze, fawn), leaving those around us bewildered as to what they just witnessed.

Your Body Won't Lie to You.
When situations arise which bring us to sense a familiarity, IF we are mindful of the cues our bodies send us and recall they are signals to us something is needing our attention, and WHY WE MUST LISTEN TO OUR BODY, we have an increased chance of saving ourselves from a barrage of unnecessary painful emotions and days of recovery.
Mar 31, 202107:49
Connecting Heart to Home
Connection is more than fellowships, friendships, intimate relationships. Genuine connection is about unconditional acceptance and love. While we can provide that for ourselves, we also need that level of connection with others. The first place that we experience this level of connection is through our mother.
Mar 22, 202112:05
Upholding the Standard of Showing Up
Consider the possibility you aren't less than in any way. Rather you are unconsciously using comparative judgment.
We seem to be quite good with empowering others, but when it comes to giving back to ourselves, there is a tendency to minimize our strengths and worth by disempowerment. Join me today on this helpful episode of Unbound.
