Love Wide Open With Heidi Dellaire

In this episode, I discuss a moment I had with my Heal Your Story Facebook Discussion Group about my own struggle with being vulnerable over the last 30 days. I was having trouble showing up for the group in the way I wanted because I had some medical issues. I decided to just be vulnerable in the group and tell them what was going on.  I go on to talk about the many benefits of being vulnerable and why it is so hard for us to do because it almost gives us this sense of not being perfect when we show up with the courage to be vulnerable.  If you can be vulnerable, it means that you accept yourself and don’t feel the need to hide yourself from everyone else.

This is a client story of how childhood trauma led to a life of perfectionism, people-pleasing, codependency and what started to come up more and more...anger.  Give a listen to how our trauma responses can serve us as protection and control early in life but as we move into adulthood, they become the things that hold us back from healing, connection to ourselves and connection to others. These trauma responses often lead to trapped emotions or trapped physical pain that can't be released due to an unregulated nervous system. Instead, we manifest feelings of dis-ease either emotional or physically.  If you connect with Tim's story or the general premise of this episode, I invite you to join my free Heal Your Story Discussion Group on FB. You can find it connected to my Heidi Dellaire or Love Wide Open Facebook pages. You can also connect on FB to watch the upcoming Heal Your Story Conversations and they will also be on YouTube.  You can find all links here: https://lnk.bio/lwo.heididellaire &nb

Overwhelm can be caused by a variety of factors, including stress, grief, traumatic events or even a pileup of a lot of little things that creep up on you all at the same time. Overwhelm can cause physical problems like headaches, work-related woes like poor performance, home life stress and emotional changes. So, it must be dealt with. How we think something should turn out greatly affects our perception of what is actually taking place. Learning to take care of yourself and implementing these strategies is a good first step in reducing your overwhelm.  If you are struggling deeply with anxiety and overwhelm, sign-up for a Heal Your Story Strategy session to work with me 1:1.

In this episode, I get vulnerable and share a bit more of my story. How at one point in life, I was completely overwhelmed, was in ill health and had feelings of unworthiness brought on by the complications of a toxic relationship.  I go into how I overcame all of that to become who I am today. All of this led me to want to do what I do now.

In this episode, I discuss four of the many types of trauma. Emotional trauma can cause a sense of hopelessness, edginess,  anxiety, an inability to sleep or to focus, and may lead to a pattern of self-neglect.  Many of us experience symptoms of trauma but have no specific traumatic event to connect these feelings of anxiety or depression, which often causes feelings of confusion or guilt.  You may find yourself thinking others are worse off or have been through something more injurious than you.  You may even think you don’t have a right to be unhappy.  This is simply untrue, trauma is experienced in many forms. There are times when we don’t even know that an event has been traumatic to us. If you are struggling with anxiety and overwhelm from the effects of multiple toxic relationships, I invite you to sign up for a Heal Your Story Strategy Session at https://heididellaire.com/work-with-me or listen to more episodes of the podcast.  There are many resources for healing on https

In this episode, I discuss how we can fall into the trap of not really knowing our true selves and this can lead to a sense of low self-worth and low self-esteem.  When we move through the world living to please others and project an image to others just to be liked or accepted, we can create a life where we feel lost and negative thoughts start to come in and take up root.  If you are seeking to create better boundaries, increase your self-worth, self-love and want to reduce anxiety and overwhelm, you can find me at heididellaire.com or sign up for a Heal Your Story Strategy Session at heididellaire.com/work-with-me You can also follow me on Facebook or Instagram for more daily help at either Heidi Dellaire or Love Wide Open.  Your Heart Space Coach, ~Heidi --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/healyourstory/message

The narcissist character assassination is designed to annihilate you psychologically, mentally, emotionally, socially, and sometimes, physically. Narcissistic personalities think in severe black and white. To them, you are either all good or all bad. Once a narcissist pulls you off of the pedestal they once put you on, they will often launch some sort of character assassination against you.  I hope this episode helps you to handle this type of attack with more understanding and a sense of dignity.  You can find me and my coaching services at heididellaire.com or other self-development help at lovewideopen.com Follow me on Instagram or Facebook.  IG:  instagram.com/heididellaire FB: facebook.com/heididellaireofficial And lovewideopen on both.  --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/healyourstory/message
