I couldn’t find the link but I am so looking forward for the recording 🤗. Do you post the breathwork too? PST time makes these all a tad early for this night owl 😅
Oh great! Totally makes sense with the west coast timing 😊 Recording of the workshop will be up tomorrow. The classes will be posted too but on a different platform that I will email you directly about this week to access! (It’s part of the price of subscription 😉)
Thank you, Eliza, for your beautiful writing and thoughts. I always enjoy reading you! Thank you for the movie reference. Loved this: "You know the great thing, though, is that change can be so constant you don’t even feel the difference until there is one. It can be so slow that you don’t even notice that your life is better or worse until it is.’” I also leave you with a movie reference about trauma and family dynamics, "The Glass Castle."
Thank you, Katerina. Means so much to me that you're here :) Is the Glass Castle also a book? I think I read it back in the day...but will check out the movie! Thank you for the rec!
My pleasure, Eliza! You are right, it is a book, I have not read it, I am sure it’s great. I’ve seen the movie and it is worth taking a look especially if you’ve read the book, it will give you a fresh perspective :).
Completely co-sign all of this. In my own healing and that of my clients. It has the be more than therapy. The continual showing up for ourselves.
And I know for some of my therapist and parentified parts, as the therapist this was hard at first to accept, but then a relief. I’m not meant to be responsible for it all. I can show up to the extent that I can and the rest is for them. I’ve passed the baton.
Also, Life as a House is also one of my favorite movies. I’ve seen so many times. Kevin Kline is so superb in it. I need to do a re-watch soon.
Thank you for this Eliza - it's a bit of an uncomfortable truth isn't it? It certainly was for me when I realised this! That healing does take a hell of a lot of commitment and work and that going to therapy once a week, hoping someone else will 'fix' us, just isn't how it works.
I also love this piece as you've reminded us that change is slow; but also that it is happening even when we think it isn't.
When I reflect on how I was when I was 31 and just beginning to remove alcohol from my life, and how I am now - I am amazed! I never thought this life was possible. And it didn't happen overnight: it took 20 months of putting myself first and making quitting drinking my number one priority. Those daily practices were absolutely key.

Thank you so much!! My nervous system is excited for this 🤗🤗🤗
This is so important and maybe something we should tell all clients at the first session!
Yes I think so too!
