Elizabethan Coaching

How do we find the creator within? How do we find the freedom from our narratives to rewrite our stories? The impacts of events that leave us feeling overwhelmed, alone, and powerless become the pen that writes the script for how we will survive and find acceptance in our “tribe.” Oftentimes when we reflect on these events, rather than releasing them, we end up solidifying why we are the way we are - leaving another layer of ink on our written narrative. When we are ready, we can learn strategies and techniques that help us unpack the impact of events, free ourselves from shame and fear, and identify accurate information that turns our critic into compassion, our insecurity into assurance of our worth, and our values into healthy boundaries. Rewriting your story is not just possible; Who-You-Really-Are has been curating and knocking at the door to find your authentic voice and bring that to your life, work, and relationships! If this possibility brings hope or excitement, I invite you to reach out and see if we are a good fit to begin your journey.

The Vagus Nerve

Our nervous system acts as a constant, subconscious radar, tirelessly managing cues of safety and danger to ensure our survival. This vigilance activates well-known survival states like fight, flight, freeze, and fawn in real time. These states can also be triggered by our focus on memories and imagined future events—essentially, our imagination can create anxiety or even panic attacks. We can, however, harness this same power of imagination to reinforce states of rest, restoration, and relaxation by reattuning our focus to rewire the nervous system’s safety cues. This practice of strengthening neural pathways for safety is called resourcing. As we consistently practice nervous system strategies, calm states become more accessible, positively impacting our ability to regulate our emotions and making our nervous system more resilient.
