Client Corner

Here’s the thing. In the past I would have been frustrated and maybe even defensive and blaming (usually of my family). It would have been a lengthy bout of the “poor me’s”.

This time around, I owned it, made amends, and rebounded.

And to be fair, I did get some excellent feedback (and solicited some constructive feedback)!

When you do your inner work and focus on one area, healing takes place in unexpected areas. That little girl who couldn’t make mistakes or held herself to unmeetable standards has forgiven herself.

Resilience is amazing. And if I lost potential clients or students because of it, that’s part of the unfolding of life.

I’m so grateful for this work. And for my loyal supporters, too!

I pulled this out to show a client today.

I keep it close by because it reminds me who the little girl is inside that my personality things she still has to protect.

When I’m
🙋🏻‍♀️trying to do alllll the things
🙋🏻‍♀️demanding (you be happy!)
🙋🏻‍♀️non-committal (don’t trap me!)
🙋🏻‍♀️not letting you know what’s *really* going on with me

there are very good reasons. There is a little girl somewhere deep inside who had to show up in certain ways in order to survive.

That little girl lives inside me and still acts a certain way sometimes when she *THINKS* she needs to.

But she doesn’t. She’s a grown up now. Looking at this sweet little Christina reminds me to bring compassion to her. To see her for who she is: just wanting to make it all ok for everyone because if she doesn’t, that little girl will be rejected.

You do the same. Your personality is one big coping mechanism and you have far more choice in the matter than you realize.

Take a look at that little one inside of you. Bring her some compassion. Nurture her. And let her know she is safe. She can be and do whatever she wants now. She’s a grown-ass woman.

There are so many ways to do your own inner work.

There are so many ways to do your own inner work.

As an Enneagram-Informed Therapist & Coach, I work with clients, groups, and organizations to bring in all the tools from traditional coaching and therapy. I also bring in a depth and breadth by tapping into the Enneagram, a psycho-spiritual framework.

With this recipe, we can often increase awareness and momentum in personal growth and reach new heights FASTER.

The Enneagram combined with a therapeutic coaching approach can help you to get unstuck, see choices where you thought you had none, and offer you a path to transformation.

You can tap into and engage with the Enneagram as much (or as little) as you’d like, but my hope is that our work together is the starting point of a lifelong exploration of YOU.

If you’ve been seeking a coach and are curious about the Enneagram and think my style might be for you, I’d love to chat with you! Book a Discovery Call at the link in my bio and let’s learn about each other!

I caught myself in my crap again. One of my four

I caught myself in my crap again.

One of my four is heading off for the summer.

😥He's leaving his family
😥He's leaving his friends
😥He's living with a stranger
😥He's working with some big cheeses
😥He doesn't know a soul

To be clear, the Granahans haven't traditionally been risk-takers in this way.

He's been, in my opinion,
🫣edgy
🫣abrupt
🫣quiet
🫣grumpy
🫣withdrawn

There's more. And...I could make this about his Enneagram type and what happens when they are under stress. Or about my husband's response when I talked about it with him (because it was entertaining and totally consistent with his type).

But that's not what this is about. This is about me because Enneagram work is about me. So is my reactivity. If I'm feeling a kind of way about something it's about me.

But I digress...

Here's what's important: I caught myself really annoyed with him. I was increasingly frustrated because I couldn't make him feel better and I started to blame him.

The good news is that I caught myself. When I saw my pattern at work,
😬my need for people to be content/ok/happy
😬my frustration that he wasn't
😬my incessant checking in for a status report, hoping he was feeling better

I shifted towards him. And, while not always guaranteed, he shifted towards me.

Who knows what that's all about, but the magic of being present to the truth is something I experience all the time.

Me wanting him to be happy isn't a problem. Me attaching myself to him being happy is a problem. For all of us.

The energy in our home has been different this afternoon. I can only imagine that prior to understanding this about my personality, we'd have been fighting instead of chatting.

If you're looking to change a relationship dynamic in your family, drop me a DM. I'm happy to chat about it. I'm right here with you.
