Recovering Overachiever Complete

December 30, 2022

Yes, it’s the time of year when I think about what I desire for the year ahead. And the slowness and space help me FEEL and notice my cravings (the deeper under the “don’t feel” cravings)…. and my feelings actually give me so much information…. [read more]

The Stress of Caregiving

December 29, 2022

The stress of caregiving. So much caregiving this year. My parents and dogs required way extra-extra caregiving this year. From January until Leroy’s death last week. I chose this hard. There is also relief in grief. The relief that we no longer have the physical… [read more]

I tossed an entire prayer book into the trash

December 19, 2022

I just tossed an entire book into the recycle bin. So much for that prayerful meditation. I opened a prayer book to a random page – and it landed on a prayer for “emotional distress.” And the line that pissed me off was this: “I… [read more]

Let go to be in the moment

November 29, 2022

Tone: peaceful   Bianca Forte is the choice today. Carmel Cookie is my go-to.   For the last few months, I’ve been waking up with slightly anxious parts going through all the things pressing on me. Anxiety in the early morning is new for me…. [read more]

Why is it so hard to be Authentic? A lesson I learned from Gabor Maté

November 4, 2022

Thankfully, “Be Authentic” has become more popular these days.  I’m not always one to choose what’s popular, but I am one on the quest for authenticity, and living in a climate and culture that has made more room for it than in the past, makes… [read more]

Allow the Fallow: Your Struggle is Valid.

October 19, 2022

2022 has been a year of difficult events and circumstances. A multi-layered shit sandwich for sure. Do you know what I’m most proud of? Allowing myself to suffer, feel uncomfortable, and be “a mess.”   I am more alive because I did not contain myself… [read more]

Tending to the Soul on Behalf of a Suffering World

October 18, 2022

When I step into my creative practices, my Soul awareness is activated. My Soul is jealous of the time I waste consuming and allowing my head to get sucked into the blue light flicker. The more my head is tucked into a screen, the more… [read more]

Each emotion is a part of your system trying to communicate something important about your needs. By listening with empathy to these parts, you deepen your understanding of yourself and build emotional intelligence. This practice of compassionate inquiry helps you strengthen your connection to your internal experience and empowers you to respond in a way that aligns with your true Self.

Overthink Much? I have this mental ideal that is Overthink Much?

I have this mental ideal that is embedded in my brain that I would be able to wake up and move forward with all my intentions.  I can see the clear direction and simple steps. I can envision all the "results" and the relief I make up those results would bring. 

One of the things I'm teaching myself to do - is try to write more from a professional voice for you instead of blab in inner processing out on this little white pop-up box. 

How's that working, Alli?

Buahahahah.... all my sweet and striving little parts trying to hold my life closely to that ideal.  I sense the squirm of these parts in my body even when my "thinking" is clear.

I now know this to be a signal for me to slow down and meet those parts with calm and curiosity. First, I must get past one of my sneakiest and most powerful parts—my "awareness" part. This is not Awareness from my core self. 
In IFS - we call these self-like parts. The distinction is that the awareness part carries the burden and tone of "You're doing it wrong."

I asked my clients to notice the part of them that is "mindful and self-aware." What are the words that the voice uses? What is its tone? 

Is it SELF-calm and compassionate, deeply connected? Or is it cognitive and managerial with a motive? 

OOOOF...sending sweet love and compassion to all my thinking, overthinking, and trying-to-get-it-right-for-some-imaginaryideal-parts, and to yours. 

These parts need our somatic connection and attunement. They do not need judgment and alienation. They are scared and holding ages of fear and pain. 

Hello, inner managers, and judgers, and thinkers.  I see you.  I am here for you.  I see your skills.  You have done nothing wrong.  No matter what you feel, you deserve more love, not less.  Let's just breathe together, and then you can share your fears and concerns.  I am here for you.  I will not leave you.

In the IFS community, we call triggers "trailheads In the IFS community, we call triggers "trailheads" or say, "This part of me is really activated." Identifying and caring for emotionally reactive parts gives us the opportunity to respond with intention rather than impulsively. By practicing emotional regulation and internal partswork, you can create space between stimulus and response, allowing for more thoughtful and grounded decision-making.

For me, it was the fear I would disintegrate and b For me, it was the fear I would disintegrate and be insignificant.  For many, it's attached to conditional love.  IFS coaching helped me in places typical coaching couldn't.  It helped me compassionately understand and connect with these parts - and ya know what? They began to relax, build trust, and step back, leaving space for my natural creativity, grounded confidence, and clarity to lead in my work & life.  This is available to you.  #ifscoaching
