There are an extraordinary amount of healing and therapeutic modalities available to people choosing to explore the inner workings of who they are. As a mentor I see it as my calling to experience any and all that resonate with me, knowing that if they do, I’m sure to meet with people who require that exact…
When we are in the infancy of our self-help journeys, the declarations we make to end all our unhelpful patterns will usually spark apprehension. Suddenly, the fear of how these cyclical habits within us might respond when called out is very tangible. We feel their discomfort at potentially being challenged by us, their host, as awareness readies…
