Don’t believe everything you think. WAIT, WHAT? Our brains are problem solving machines. They work really well on solvable stuff. However, life changes and stress encourage our brains to "fill in the blanks" with narratives that may not be accurate or helpful. We sometimes tell ourselves crap that has an element of truth without examining the complete picture. Remember the first time you looked through a kaleidoscope and saw the cool, fractal image? What if you didn't know that you could turn the wheel to uncover endless images? Getting stuck in a single story is kinda like not turning the kaleidoscope wheel. So what’s YOUR story? Is it the never being or having enough story? The one about being damaged or unlovable? The story around everyone else having all the answers, or the version that you don’t deserve a fulfilling life? The stories are endless, once our mind starts down that path. We self-sabotage, lose perspective, become irritable and anxious. I will honor and understand you AND your story. Let's uncover what works, and challenge the narratives that no longer serve you, Our conversations will be honest and psychobabble-free. I will help you curate a version of your story centered around your strengths, values and possibilities. My story is about helping move you in the direction you desire.
