Consider/Ask Yourself:
Do you feel safe at home but anxious elsewhere?
Have you experienced vulnerability followed by rejection, causing you to
withdraw?
Do you find yourself pushing hard until you burn out, only to struggle to start
again? Guest Insights:
Margaret shares her ongoing battle with adrenal fatigue, anxiety, and the pressure of financial constraints.
She expresses frustration with the cyclic nature of pushing herself too hard and then needing extensive recovery time.
Her journey has included deep personal insights, yet she still faces the challenge of balancing work demands with personal health.
Aha Moments:
Realizing that her pattern of pushing and withdrawing relates to deeper, unresolved issues around safety and self-worth.

engaging with her career.

Welcome to episode 448 of "Over It and On With It." Today, our host, Christine Hassler, engages in a compelling conversation with Lynn, who seeks guidance on boosting her self-confidence. This episode dives deep into the roots of self-confidence, touching on childhood experiences, personal insecurities, and the journey towards radical self-acceptance.
Guest Insights:
Lynn discusses her challenges with confidence, particularly in her career as a travel advisor, where she struggles to promote herself effectively. She shares personal anecdotes about her upbringing, including the impact of her parents' divorce and the emotional unavailability of her father, which contributed to her confidence issues.

Christine introduces the concept of "radical self-acceptance" and challenges Lynn to reflect on her internal judgments that might be hindering her confidence. How to Get Over It:

Parenting Your Inner Child: Use the parenting skills you apply to your children to nurture and encourage your inner child. Action Steps: Engage in small, manageable acts that build confidence through real-life practice, such as regularly posting about her business. Consider/Ask Yourself:
Do you struggle with confidence in specific areas of your life? How have your childhood experiences shaped your self-esteem? What does radical self-acceptance mean to you, and how can you practice it? Sponsor:

This coaching call is about breaking habitual patterns that are no longer needed. Today’s caller, Jenny, is having completely different reactions to different situations. She asks for guidance on how to be consistent in all areas of her life and change her attachment style. Christine discovers that it is not so much about her attachment styles but about the story she tells herself in different situations.

For those of us who experienced a trauma, or when the worst happened or we got in trouble for something, a neural pathway in our minds created a belief that expecting something bad to happen at any moment prepares us for future traumas and the accompanying shock. The shock is what makes trauma stay in our bodies because when we think everything’s fine, and something happens, our system is surprised. It becomes an imprint in our psyche, subconscious, emotional body, and our nervous system. Neural nets create unconscious patterns. When we are triggered we are hijacked by our subconscious.
 
As we grow and develop we have to update our survival strategies. So many of our survival strategies were formed when we were young. They are outdated. We have updated almost every other tool we use in our lives, yet we haven’t updated our survival strategies. When you have a habitual reaction to something, interrupt the pattern.
 
If you have a situation where you are bracing, expecting the worst, or getting nervous, do whatever it takes to regulate your nervous system. Take deep breaths and pause to break the habit.
 
Consider/Ask Yourself:
Do you feel like you’re a different person in different situations?
Are your reactions sometimes much bigger than a situation warrants?
Do you often prepare yourself for the worst even though usually the worst doesn’t happen?
As a kid, was there a part of you that felt like you were in trouble, and that you didn’t get things right?
 
Jenny’s Question:
Jenny would like guidance about why her reactions are different in different situations.
 
Jenny’s Key Insights and Ahas:
She feels she reacts differently to things at work, in relationships, and when with friends and family.
Her relationship with her parents has changed since childhood.
She often gets anxious at work and feels that she will be in trouble.
She remembers getting in trouble with her father when she didn’t do something right.
She wants validation and love from her father.
She doesn’t feel good enough at work.
 
How to Get Over It and On With It:
When triggered, regulate her system by putting a hand on her heart and her belly and saying “I’m not in trouble. I didn’t do anything wrong.”
Where is she telling herself she isn’t enough?
Give herself compassion and commitment. Don’t give up!
 
Takeaway:
When you have a habitual reaction to something, interrupt the pattern and update your survival strategy.
