The Healing Journey: Challenge to Courage to Contentment
Change, hard times, and big challenges can produce overwhelming feelings such as loss, anger, grief, loneliness, and disconnection. To cope, we may bury these feelings under work, entertainment, substances, and other distractions. We may wall off our hearts from further hurts, feel we are not good enough or don’t belong. Navigating the turns of life is an age-old question that begins with one fundamental relationship: your relationship with yourself. Strong feelings, self-loathing, and fear of rejection that arise during challenging times are often rooted in shame, which always brings its twin, blame. Whether we lash out at others or lash in at ourselves, shame and blame block our ability to have fulfilling relationships with others and with ourselves. Christina helps her clients safely explore uncomfortable experiences and the feelings they bring up. She helps them transform pain into courage, compassion, and connection. Christina helps her clients see that even the most challenging experiences can be the greatest launching points for growth into wholeness and lasting happiness.
