This challenging time may be creating disruption in your life as well as awakening awareness of problematic patterns and pain from the past. So often our frustrations and emotional pain are rooted in parts of ourselves of which we are largely unaware. You may feel stuck in patterns of bad relationships, loss of identity, or lacking meaning in life, even when you know you want to break free. You may be defined by your job or family role, but what else are you? What is missing in your life from not knowing all that you really are?

*LGBTQ+ affirmative* Are you afraid to speak up or be your true self for fear of what others will say or do?

If you struggle with managing relationship conflict, your constant negative self-talk, finding a partner, codependency, anxious thoughts, or expressing yourself authentically in your life it's likely you have some outdated stories running about yourself and what's possible in life. Those old stories are often related to early experiences in your family. You came up with some creative coping strategies that worked back then, but don't today.
