WHO'S DRIVING YOUR BUS? 🚌

I've decided that this month I'm going to give Inner Freedom Sessions the attention they deserve.

I've realised I haven't talked about this part of my work nearly enough.

Honestly, I think I've been depriving people of knowing about some incredibly valuable tools that may help them understand themselves, their patterns and what keeps them going around in circles.

So rather than throwing a whole list of modality names at you, I thought I'd show you what this work can actually look like.

Let me introduce you to "Jemma". ( her chosen name to share)

Jemma gave me permission to share her story.

She came to me because the effects of significant life trauma had left her feeling as though her heart had closed.

She felt lonely.

She was struggling to connect openly with her husband and children.

She described feeling hurt, betrayed and burdened, and she longed to feel open and whole again.

There was also a physical experience of tightness around her ribcage.

So where did we begin?

With her.

●She was heard.

●She was seen.

We talked about what she was experiencing without judgement, and together we created an intention for the work:

"I am finding safety to open my heart and lead with an open heart. I choose to operate from a core of compassion and love."

Then we started exploring the pattern.

Here's where my bus analogy comes in.

Imagine that you are a bus. Ideally, an integrated and healthy version of you is in the driver's seat, but your bus has lots of passengers.

■The protector.

■The rescuer.

■The achiever.

■The frightened child.

■The fighter.

■The people pleaser.

■The hero.

■E.T.C.

These different parts can all have important jobs.

The problem isn't that they exist.

The problem can arise when one of them takes over the driver's seat, and stays there.

Then we can find ourselves travelling the same route again and again.

Something happens.

●We feel an emotion.

●A familiar pattern kicks in.

●A particular part of us jumps into the driver's seat.

■We react.

■The reaction creates another experience.

■ Suddenly we're right back where we started.

■A circular pattern.

For Jemma, we discovered that her Hero had become a very determined driver.

●She was the champion.

●The defender.

●The rescuer.

●The one who stepped in and tried to make things right.

That part of her had developed for a reason, but being the Hero all the time wasn't serving her anymore. In fact, it was sometimes restricting her and the people around her.

We explored the cycle and discovered three interconnected pieces:

Restriction → Hurt → Hero

When Jemma experienced feeling restricted, it could lead to hurt.

When the hurt surfaced, the Hero jumped into the driver's seat, and the Hero's way of protecting and responding could then leave her feeling even more restricted.

Round and round the bus went.

We explored something very important:

What is the opposite of restriction?

Freedom.

What could freedom look like for Jemma?

How could she recognise the pattern when it started?

What could she do differently?

What would it mean to allow herself to live from compassion and love rather than constantly having to be the Hero?

Using cognitive exploration, kinesiology-based methods and other approaches from my Inner Freedom toolkit, we explored the pattern, its significance and ways of interrupting it.

We also explored an experience from childhood that appeared to be significant to the pattern she was describing.

And because the body can be part of how we experience these patterns, Jemma also chose to include fascial release and Spinal Flow Technique in her work with me.

Inner Freedom doesn't have to be only "talking, investigating and clearing". Sometimes bodywork becomes part of the journey too.

The important thing is that we work with the person in front of us rather than forcing the person into a particular technique.

So what do you actually receive in an Inner Freedom Session?

This is something else I want people to understand.

You're not simply paying for the time we spend sitting together.

For all intake sessions, and for Inner Freedom sessions of 1.25 hours or longer, I spend time reviewing your intake and preparing for our work together.

Then we have your dedicated one-on-one time together to understand what you're bringing, explore what you want to achieve and set an intention for your session.

And the work doesn't simply end when you walk out the door.

You receive a 30-day integration plan designed to help you continue working with what you've explored, stay connected to your intention and keep moving forward.

There is preparation, thought, planning and follow-through that happens around your session, and that work is included in your session investment.

Because I don't want you to simply have an interesting experience and then go home and forget about it. I want you to have something you can actually work with.

Here's why I'm putting this work in the spotlight now.

Christmas is coming.

For some people, Christmas is wonderful. For others, it can turn the volume up on everything.

●Family dynamics.

●Old hurts.

●Feeling responsible for everyone.

●Anxiety.

●Loneliness.

●Grief.

●Overwhelm.

Old patterns can become very loud when we're under pressure.

So rather than waiting until you're completely overwhelmed, perhaps this is the year you start exploring the pattern before it takes over the driver's seat.

I'm putting together a four-session Inner Freedom pathway for people who want more than a single conversation and would like some continuity, exploration and support as they begin moving forward.

The intention isn't to promise that four sessions will magically solve everything, it's to give you a supported starting point and enough space to begin working with a pattern rather than simply fighting it.

If you think there is a pattern in your life that you're ready to explore, send me a message with the words INNER FREEDOM.

We'll have a conversation about what you're experiencing and whether this work is appropriate for you.

Reflection • Connection • Direction

Sometimes freedom begins with finding out who has been driving your bus. 🚌❤️

WHAT IF TRYING HARDER ISN'T THE ANSWER?

Have you ever found yourself thinking:
"I know better."
"I should be over this by now."
"Why do I keep doing this?"
"I know what I need to do, so why can't I seem to do it?"

●You make the decision.
●You promise yourself this time will be different.
●You understand what you should do.
And yet somehow, you find yourself back in the same place.
■The same reaction.
■The same relationship pattern.
■The same self-doubt.
■The same fear.
■The same feeling of being overwhelmed, disconnected or unable to move forward.

What if trying harder isn't actually what you need?
What if there is something underneath the pattern that needs to be understood?

That's one of the places my Inner Freedom Sessions begin.

●We start with Reflection.
What's really happening?
What keeps showing up?
What are you experiencing, feeling, thinking or reacting to?

●Then comes Connection.
Can we begin to see the relationships between your experiences, emotions, body, beliefs, relationships and patterns?

●And then Direction.
Now that we understand more, what do you want to do from here?

I use a range of complementary approaches in this work, depending on what you bring into the room.

You don't need to know which modality you need. That's my job.

You don't need to arrive with all the answers either.
Sometimes you simply need a safe space to stop, look at what's happening and become curious about what might be underneath it.

Perhaps the question isn't:
"Why can't I change?"
Perhaps it's:
"What is keeping me where I am?"
And that's a very different question.

If you've been feeling stuck, repeating a pattern, struggling to move forward, or simply know that something needs to change, send me a message.
We can have a conversation about whether an Inner Freedom Session is right for you.
