I've been thinking a lot about attachment theory lately.

It has helped us understand so much about why we struggle in relationships and why we react the way we do. It's one of the most important contributions to psychology.

But after 25+ years as a therapist, I've also noticed something.

Attachment theory does a beautiful job of explaining how we got here.
It doesn't always show people how to consistently experience the deep, loving, secure connection they've been missing from the inside out.

This is where The Inner Counselor Process™ comes in.💜

As we heal old wounds, we also reconnect with the wisest, most loving part of ourselves.....our Inner Counselor.

Over time, this becomes an inner relationship that is steady, compassionate, and deeply trustworthy.
Instead of always looking outside ourselves for safety, approval, or reassurance, we begin finding those qualities within.

To me, this is what I call spiritual secure attachment.

And it's a game changer for healthy relationships, your relationship with yourself and your trust in life.

When you have a loving, trusting relationship with your own Higher Nature, you show up differently with everyone else.

🩵Less fear. Less reactivity. More presence. More love. More joy.🎉🦋🙏
Healing isn't just about understanding your past.

It's about creating a new relationship with yourself....one that can never be taken away.

💛 That's where true freedom begins.

Much love to you today!

Some people play dodgeball...I play BEAR Dodgeball! 😂
🐻
Seriously, yesterday and two other times this week I walked right into a bear on my daily walk IN my neighborhood. (see videos below)

Yesterday, i was just throwing ball with my dog, Coco and i heard a noise and a mom and 3 cubs (see below) were right behind me in a tree across from my house.

Years ago, I was chased on 2 separate ocassions in a week by the same mama bear protecting her cubs.

I stopped walking in my neighborhood for about 3 months. Fear had taken over.

Healing helped me find my way back.

I LOVE my neighborhood and I do not want to miss the views, the ease of it and the great workout it provides.

DId I get trained in using bear spray? Absolutely.

Do I stay aware? You bet. (no ear buds for me!😀)

But I've learned something important...

Courage isn't the absence of fear. It's deciding that what you LOVE is greater than what you fear.

How many beautiful things has fear quietly talked you out of?

A relationship. A dream. A trip. Speaking your truth.
Trusting yourself or committing to something you truly want to experience?

Your Inner Counselor doesn't ask you to ignore fear.

It lovingly reminds you not to let FEAR make your life smaller than your Soul.

Just completed a fabulous, challenging hike at Mount Leconte! 
So grateful for my body, mind and spirit and how it’s healed and transformed to be able to do this  (I wasn’t sure I’d be able ) after being injured last year and unable to walk for awhile!
It was a mental, physical and spiritual commitment to get to this point!
 What about you? 💜
What are the challenges you are facing and how are you transforming them?

My coach Terri said to one of her clients this week… are you doing that because you should or because it will bring you joy?
Life is short! Choose what gives you life! What creates in you a natural joy!

One of the biggest things I've learned in over 20 years of teaching mindfulness and spiritual psychology is this:

The way we talk to ourselves matters.

More than most people realize.

When we're stressed, we often start speaking the language of survival:

"I have to..."
"I should..."
"I must..."
"I can't..."

Those words may seem small, but they create pressure inside the nervous system. Over time, they can leave us feeling overwhelmed, reactive, and exhausted.

Now notice how different these feel:

✨ I choose to...
✨ I can...
✨ I allow...
✨ I experience...
✨ I enjoy...

The task may be exactly the same.

But your relationship to it changes.

One creates resistance.
The other creates choice.

Mindfulness isn't just about meditation. It's about becoming aware of how we're relating to ourselves moment by moment.

So here's a little experiment:

The next time you feel stressed, pause and listen to your inner dialogue.

What are you saying to yourself?

Then gently try on a different phrase.

You might be surprised how quickly your body begins to relax when it no longer feels like it's being pushed, judged, or forced.

The language of stress creates more stress.

The language of choice creates more freedom.

And sometimes that small shift is enough to open the door to a little more joy. 💜

What phrase do you catch yourself saying most often: "I have to..." or "I should..."?
