    053: Matrescence: Motherhood as an Initiation with Amy Borskey Duffer

    In my early postpartum days, I remember Googling things like "motherhood identity crisis" because I felt so lost. I thought I was prepared for motherhood, but I was not.

Today, I'm joined by integrative therapist Amy Borskey Duffer to talk about this powerful concept, which helps mothers create meaning and peace amidst huge life changes. We discuss: What is matrescence?

    047: Why Do I Feel So Bad?

    Many people feel like their pain isn't justifiable. They're ashamed of their struggles, because they feel like they had "a pretty decent childhood." This creates the question, "If nothing terrible happened to me, why do I feel so bad?" In this myth-busting episode, I'll answer that question, and offer a new perspective on childhood trauma and what really causes pain. Here's what's covered:  The dark side of comparative suffering (why it's dangerous to compare your pain to someone else's)What really creates pain and struggle (hint: it's not what happens to you)Your life rulebook: what it is and how you create itCommon "insignificant" events from childhood that leave big emotional scarsWhy curiosity is key in the healing processCreating new beliefs on purposeWork with me as a hypnotherapy client: https://www.hollyfisherhiggins.com/work-with-me/rtt-rapid-transformational-hypnotherapy/ Sleep Program VIP Notification Signup: https://www.hollyfisherhiggins.com/sleep-program-vip-list/ Download my free "Clear the Crap" meditation here (this will put you on my email list!)
