Service Description

How We Work Together: Most of us grow up running on automatic scripts given to us by our families, our culture, or our religions. Before you can change your life, you have to become aware of what you are actually doing right now. If you want a peer to sit down and walk through this foundational step with you, you can book an individual session for this pillar. We will look at your daily life together and learn the absolute basics of how your mind, body, and environment interact. We focus on five simple starting points: What am I thinking and feeling? Learning the basic difference between a sudden thought, a big emotion, and a physical body sensation. We practice noticing stress in our muscles and breathing before it takes over our day (Cognitive Patterns & Proprioceptive Awareness). Who do I think I am? Looking at your life story to see where you learned your habits. We trace how your upbringing and past experiences taught you how to act (Narrative & Life Story Auditing). What do I actually believe? Sitting down to question the rules you were raised with. We separate what you truly value from what you were just taught to value by society or your family (Core Values & Belief Clarification). Who do I pretend to be? Noticing how much energy you spend acting "normal" or pretending to be someone else just to fit in or stay safe in social spaces (Neurodivergent Masking Auditing). What world do I live in? Looking outside of yourself at your surroundings. We look at how capitalism, historical setups, and your local neighborhood affect your stress levels and mood every day (Cultural System Mapping). Personal Study, Tools, & Resources: I make these materials available for your personal individual study. If you want to explore these ideas at your own pace, head over to my #BeYourSELF Framework Page to see the full structural breakdown of this step, or browse my Resources Page for a massive library of deeper reading and further learning materials if you want to learn the academic principles behind them. You can also join my free #BEYOURSELF Facebook Group to access my community training guide, basic exercises, and peer discussions. If you look through those tools and realize you want a peer to help you do the heavy lifting of sorting out your thoughts, values, or life story, please fill out the contact form below so we can connect.
