I am fiercely independent, maybe to a fault…
I can be my own worst critic…
I say I'm fine because it's easier than figuring out if I really am or not…
I've gotten so good at managing everyone else's feelings, I've lost track of my own…
I'm the person people come to, not the person who gets to fall apart…
I hear some variation of these descriptions from the smart, sensitive and generous women I've worked with over the past fifteen years.
They achieved the career, the family, the home that they dreamed about. They manage the household, the important relationships, and the 8,000,000 lists that keep everything running smoothly.
But inside, something's missing.
They've spent so long taking care of everyone and everything that the relationship with themselves got put last. Again and again.
And they know that more discipline, more effort, more managing isn't going to fix it. They've already tried.
Not sure if that's you? Take two minutes with this checklist: Am I Abandoning Myself?
Can you imagine a new version of you?
Because the version of you who can hold it all together for everyone else isn't necessarily the version of you who feels safe, trusting, and at home in her own life.
It requires different questions.
Different practices.
Different permission.
Which is exactly why I created Sacred Self-Trust.
Inside Sacred Self-Trust, you'll spend six weeks in a small circle with other women who are ready to stop abandoning themselves and start coming home.
Women who understand what it's like to be capable on the outside and disconnected on the inside.
Together, we'll move through five layers, body and instinct, origin story, your dynamic self, your relational self, and your creative and expressive self, using schema-informed expressive writing prompts as well as imagery and meditation practices designed to help you feel your way back, not just think your way back.
You'll also experience:
📝 Guided writing prompts that help you trace where self-abandonment started and where it still runs the show
🧘 Imagery and meditation practices to reconnect with your body, not just your head
🤝 A small, intimate cohort of up to twelve women who get it, without you having to explain
🎯 Direct guidance from me, grounded in schema therapy and fifteen years of clinical work
💬 A container built for depth, not performance
Today is the autumnal equinox. The days are already turning shorter, and soon we'll be into a new year.
A year from now, you'll look back on the decisions you made this fall.
My hope is that one of them was deciding not to spend another year abandoning yourself to keep everyone else comfortable.
If you're ready to come home to yourself, I'd love to welcome you into Sacred Self-Trust. Enrollment opens October 1st, and the waitlist gets first access.
Warmly,
