Is this a story you tell yourself? Do you have difficulty accepting good and positive things in your life due to undervaulation of self? Do you struggle with compliments? Are you constantly finding yourself in toxic relationships and wondering "why do I attract such toxic people?"
Have you convinced yourself its easier to show compassion for others than it is yourself? These symptoms, and many more, all belong to the worthiness wound. Some time in your life - likely your formative years - something happened that caused that narrative to play on repeat in your mind. It will continue to show up in the unlikeliest of places, and quite inconveniently, take over many aspects of your life; from relationships to jobs, this wound causes us to self-sabotage on a constant basis. It isn't until you are able to identify this story and the role it plays in your life that you will begin to heal and allow yourself the goodness that is your natural birthright.
What are your stories? ?
How do they inform your thought, moods, and behaviors?

Only 19 of those studies include data from other countries. Even fewer include spiritual data or a deeper look into cultural variables.
In the mid-twentieth century, Dr, Stanislav Grof - a Czechoslavakian Psychiatrist - and his wife, Christina, found among their patients an interesting occurrence. By providing a different modality which involved deep breath work, spiritual guidance, and a safe environment with trained practitioners, their patients were overcoming incidents of psychosis without the aid of pharmaceuticals. Dr. Grof determined many of his patients experiencing a mental health emergency were, in fact,, experiencing a spiritual emergency instead. Dr. Grof developed holotropic breath work and brought to life the Spiritual Emergence Network where he's trained practitioners in the Transpersonal Method of treatment for spiritual emergencies.
What if? What if we took a different approach to treating individuals? What if we were more collaborative? More holistic? Less reliant on an outdated model that only incorporated one part of our being?

Trauma happens when a stressor takes us outside our window of tolerance and the emotional energy is thwarted from completion. Assisting your child with healthy emotional development not only widens that window but lessens the chances a traumatic incident will have lasting effects.
