On episode 11, Katherine shares a piece of her healing journey including sexual abuse and how she disconnected from herself as a result of self-protection.

This episode was a sweet honor to our younger parts and to both of us who happened to have nervous system storms that were actually happening around the same time about 5 years ago! I loved talking with Shenikka about reparenting the parts of us that have core unmet needs. This episode is about inner child healing and moving towards ourselves with love. I discovered that we both did the exact same training in somatic parts work. How fun is that? Parts work and inner child healing is a big part of both of our approaches to helping clients. I’m so grateful we could have this conversation together and that Shenikka graciously led a guided somatic practice at the end. It’s so amazing to me how every time I connect somatically like this I understand a part of me to a deeper degree. I hope you enjoy this opportunity to connect with yourself authentically. ——— ABOUT MY GUEST: Shenikka is a licensed holistic psychotherapist and transformational coach. She operates within a trauma-informed, culturally conscious, and anti-oppressive framework. With close to 20 years of experience, her personal journey with trauma and chronic illness has been my most valuable teacher, guiding me to appreciate the significance of nervous system regulation, somatic therapy, EFT (Emotion Freedom Tapping), and inner child modalities. This understanding has driven me to delve deep into holistic-based approaches. She is a wife and mother, but first and foremost, she is a fellow human being. She specializes in working with women and couples.

During this solo podcast episode, I am talking about moving from self-doubt, self-dismissing, and self-abandonment to self-compassion, self-love, and self-trust! Around 14 mins into the episode I invite you into a guided 6 week group coaching program called "Embodied Self-Trust" where you can practice and learn this new skill of moving towards yourself in a loving, compassionate way that builds self-trust and confidence. It's about powerfully moving through emotions and triggers with more ease knowing you have the skills and resources to do so! The healing journey is about connecting with your hurting, sad, scared, or angry parts and guiding yourself in new ways, inviting healthy expression of emotions, and responding to triggers with compassion and gentleness after years of repressing, dismissing, ignoring, and abandoning your core needs. It's about reclaiming your worth and becoming a confident guide of your nervous system! You're invited to transform the relationship with yourself so that your relationship with others will also be transformed, too. This 6 week coaching opportunity starts Oct. 17th, 2024.
