I'm back....!! LIFE UPDATE: Where I've been & where I'll be moving forward. (: 

Yay! Congratulations Megan! Living on your own takes courage and quite a bit of effort. I'm proud of you. 🌺

@@ProactiveResilience Thank you!

(: I'm glad to have helped. I wish you the best!

Thank you!!

I love this!! Nice to meet you, Taylor!! I think we're both divinely in sync... how lovely (: Divine timing is my favorite, I believe in it and appreciate you sharing this SO much! Thank you. I hope that you're okay, regarding whatever brought you to find my channel, and beyond. I'm sending you care!

@@ProactiveResilience well, thank you so much! I really appreciate you taking the time to reply. It’s wonderful to meet you. My sister, who is 23, is struggling in a rehabilitation hospital right now. Her boyfriend of two years has beaten her badly. She is detoxing and recovering. We are devastated. My mother is a narcissist. It’s all about her. She said that my sister wasn’t remorseful enough for her to go and be with her in such a state, so I lost it. I completely unleashed my pain on my mother. Her abuse. The way she used to beat us. The abuse we endured at her hand. I just let her hear it all. And now I feel so free. I cut her off completely. I’ve blocked her from all ways of contacting me. I’m done with her. Now I’m just focused on my sister and her recovery. It’s very sad to see her the way she is, and I’m just trying my best to be here for her. It’s hard to deal with all of this but finding your channel and understanding the role that the narcissist plays in traumatizing their children is helping me heal so much. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. ☀️

Thank you for exploring this topic and inviting me to join you. I appreciate you. (:

@@ProactiveResilience Thank you for accepting my invitation! It has been a pleasure meeting you and having you participate

I’m sorry for the dificulties you went through

☺️ it's lovely to hear from you. I hope you're doing okay. 💖

Thank you! I can add it to the list! I think relationships are a most important aspect of life to study, nurture and enjoy. I'm very interested in sharing skills that I've learned like communicating needs in a healthy way. Before a video i create, though, I recommend the book Nonviolent Communication. There is a free audiobook version on RU-vid. The book's main concept is that emotions have underlying needs, and that we can express our needs and solutions to what our problems are based on those needs, and see that other peoples' expressions of emotion hide underlying needs beneath that they are trying to fulfill, too. It's great, great, great! I wish you luck in moving forward communicating effectively! I believe in you!!

Thank you Allisun, I actually have that book but I've never read it lol. I now have no excuse for not reading it...thank you 😉 xx

Ooo this is a good idea!! It'll get me thinking, too.. I love this, I'll definitely make a video like this. I am so inspired already. Thank you for sharing your idea oioe 😸

Hi Hope! You have brightened my day SO much, just so you know. You make meeee feel seen. 🥰 I SO RECOMMEND THE PROGRAM!!!! It's called the international association of trauma recovery coaching. You can be certified by taking their initial course. I work with them now so we would be seeing each other, as well, which is an added bonus! Much love!! Whether it be this program or another, I hope you find something amazing!

I am currently getting certified in the initial course in the same program Allisun did. I LOVE it! It's a brand new field and coaches are so needed! Do it!

@@jennj9026 How is it going? I am about to sign up for the August course.

@@HG-iv4zq Hi Hope! The program was overall very good. I am just now finishing up my portfolio for submission to receive my certificate. Bobbi and the whole team are incredible people and the coursework is all great...I would say its a high quality program. The cost is absolutely reasonable given all you get. You get SO many resources as well throughout the program it's mind-boggling so keep a list handy! There are new workshops being created right now that can support afterwards as you build your business and to continue doing practice coaching with other coaches even after the 6 month program concludes. There are 3 books to read for the program but they are to read on your own they are not assigned as homework but they are often referred to. I would highly recommend getting started even now on a coupe of them one is CPTSD from Surviving to Thriving by Pete Walker (I would read this one first) and the other is The Body Keeps the Score by Bessel Van Der Kolk. He pioneered a lot of the somatic work which is so critical for healing from trauma..he and all these trauma peeps have vids on RU-vid as well. Also the work of Stephen Porges and Polyvagal Theory. The one critical piece of trauma recovery that I hadn't yet focused on in my own healing is Shame nor did I realize is the master emotion and "binds" with other emotions and just that it is so foundational for understand and healing from trauma..shame hides in all kinds of ways and you really have to study it up close to figure it out..this was a mind-blowing discovery for me in this program. There is a teacher within the program that you will have and she is so wonderful and she's become pretty much a shame expert....I would also recommend reading Brene Brown's book that focuses on shame called I Thought It Was Just Me (but it isn't). Each week there is a theme and you read materials on that theme and then the homework on it is due every Monday. It's a totally reasonable amount...for me it was hard because I'm a single parent with a full time job..but if you don't have that a situation..it won't be hard. It is totally okay if you turn in assignments late. You will learn a lot and get triggered and also heal as you do the program, it's intense for sure, but it's really a beautiful process and just so very supportive.A few weeks in you will have a Mentor...take full advantage of this and ask as many questions as you can during your meetings and also bring your questions and observations that you will have as you do the practice coaching sessions...your mentor will give you great feedback. The down side of the program was mostly that the association is growing really rapidly right now, so at times certain communication was frustrating and other little things...and I don't really like Mighty Networks all that much, which is the platform that hosts the program, but that's just my deal...some like it, some don't. I was told the people in my program were very vocal about the things that could be frustrating to deal with, so they will likely have some of those things ironed out...definitely a little deal, just requires some patience, but if you get in a jam...Allisun is a great point of contact for when you need something! I say go for it and hope you enjoy it...let me know if you have any questions that may arise! Be well! ~ Jenn

🥺 what incredible feedback! Thank you!! I feel so heard and supported by your right now.

@@ProactiveResilience It is my absolute pleasure! I feel a lot of love emitting from you, it is quite inspiring. I thought I would at least try and reciprocate that...aka, "share the love"... Keep on rocking!

Missed youuu!! ☺️
