Feel your Feelings [4:19] “I have these very big feelings that needed to be felt in a safe way so that I can regulate myself to be free of repetitive patterns that are keeping me in the same place.”  “We’re always unpacking and unraveling ourselves. We can add and take away titles from our identity.” Our Inner Child [9:18] “The reality is that you can do a great job working through something, and feelings and emotions can still come up.” “Giving something form gives it tangibility and gives us access.” “You're giving to yourself as an adult, a full version of you. Your adult self is giving to your younger self what you never received. There is reprieve and freedom in that.” The Ego [15:35] “The ego is the soul in its infancy.” “Ego is our identity, it’s the way we see ourselves, it’s the way we see ourselves in others, and it’s the way we think or perceive others see us.” “When we relate to the past in a different way, it changes the ego in the present moment-making it a healthier version of self.” The Inner Child vs. The Ego [20:27] “The inner child is driving when you’re triggered. Learning how to be the parent that buckles the inner child in and takes the wheel is so important.” “In trauma therapy, you can do all the work, but if you don’t regulate your nervous system, the learning you think you're doing is just being stacked upon-it’s not doing anything for you.” Relationships [30:18] “Be in your own space. Get to know you and work through any trauma, difficulties, and patterns you have.” “Relationships will always teach us something about ourselves and we can always be teachers to our partners too, and grow together.” “I am here for me, I am here for you, I am here for us, and I am here for the planet.”  “If you bring trauma to a relationship, you’re going to attract more trauma.” Be Open, Be Clear[40:40] “The more you know what you want, the more you are able to practice making your requests, and have the ability to be clear in that with a partner, then you are floating in truth.” Connect with us on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/thecoachablepodcast/ Connect with Tori on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/coachtorigordon/ Guess what?!
