How to Change for the Better

This past March I certified as an Integrative Change Worker. It was delightful to practice these skills on other students and to also be worked on. I continue to attend bi-monthly practice sessions to continue to hone my skills.

In this ICW program, I learned how to help my clients take a stressful trigger and neutralize it.

I've seen it work quickly, and I've also watched it take place in layers over time.

There's no right or wrong way, it's YOUR way.

It's empowering to know that you can change your stories and rewire your nervous system with simple tools.

If you're interested in Integrative Change Work, ask about it in our next session.

If you're not already working with me, at this time I have some spots available.

AND if you'd like to get started for free, check out my mini-self-directed neuroplasticity videos on my website.

Here's the deal.

Change is hard.

When someone changes, the people around them are impacted.

Especially close friends and family.

This often happens when someone starts making positive changes

Things get stirred up.

When we are the ones changing, and other people are adapting to our changes, it's important to remember to have grace for them and for yourself.

Change is hard for those making it AND for those around them.

Keep going, don't give up!

“Fear is a universal experience. Even the smallest insect feels it. We wade in the tidal pools and put our finger near the soft, open bodies of sea anemones and they close up. Everything spontaneously does that. It’s not a terrible thing that we feel fear when faced with the unknown. It is part of being alive, something we all share. We react against the possibility of loneliness, of death, of not having anything to hold on to. Fear is a natural reaction to moving closer to the truth.”
