No one sits us down as adults to tell us to bring how we adapted to hurts in our childhoods, forward. We just do it. We continue to retreat. We continue to run. We continue to lie. We continue to medicate. We continue to yell. We continue to underperform. We continue to shame ourselves. We just continue… Until we wake up, to what happened. I finally woke up myself. It wasn’t pretty. Trust me. But, once I came to face to face with how I was coping that was literally ruining my life, I made different choices. I made better choices and that made all the difference. #yellowpaintlearningtoliveagain #coping #wakeup #change #accountabletherapyexpert #choices

….Two years ago I sat withBeth Parker to share my ideas for a book. I had 3 ideas. We combined 2 of them! She continued to sit tirelessly by my side to put shape to my words! I felt COMPELLED to share my story! To inform! To inspire! But most of all… To invite!!! It turns out the world needs just a little bit more yellow!! The manuscript has now been turned over to the reviewers!

Our family started the year with Loving Compassion Sauna/Cold Plunge Wellness. Something about releasing and sweating Something about using your breath in the ice Something about reframing pain with compassion What a way to set off 2025. Release-Breathe-Reframe, I don’t have a sauna in sessions. We sometimes use ice. We definitely release. We definitely breathe. We definitely reframe. Do you? #yellowpaintlearningtoliveagain #accountabletherapy #2025 #mentalhealth expert #release #breathe #reframe

Seasonal Affective Disorder rates seem to be rising. It’s dark. Really dark. It invites more darkness. Piggy backing on pre-existing isolation, depression, anxiety, lack of motivation, and lack of interest. SAD lights can be more helpful than you think. Mechanically pushing yourself out the door also helps. Even if forced social interaction can help. Unstinking the stinky thoughts of "It will take too much…” is needed. Do you have a plan to get light? #Seasonaffectivedisorder #depression #sadlights #yellowpaintlearningtoliveagain #selfcare #stinkythinking

Check out this article by my brother, Rick Goslin, business coach…A good reminder to leaders to go beyond empathy for greater motivation, improved communication skills, and an update on shifting the boundaries. https://lnkd.in/gdF9NyGW

A lot of people ask why we continue to sabotage ourselves so easily? My answer? …Wounded self core beliefs which develop when we face significantly painful experiences that negatively change what we think about ourselves, other people, life, and love. but that’s only one part The other part is that in these painful experiences, …we are overwhelmed. And, …As humans we try to make what is happening fit, but because we’re overwhelmed, we make it fit in inaccurate ways. So those core beliefs that we develop lead us towards decision-making, plans, and communication that confirm rather than challenge those inaccurate negative beliefs and we end up feeling even worse…. A big part of my work with clients is to shift those beliefs and to use the healthy self to do so ! #invitationstogrow #mentalhealth #accountability #CourageToHeal #changingmylife
