Over It And On With It

In this transformative episode, Christine Hassler coaches Stacey, who opens up about living with misophonia, a neurological condition that causes extreme sensitivity to certain sounds, triggering fight-or-flight responses. Stacey shares how this condition has impacted her relationships, including her family and romantic connections, leaving her feeling isolated and doubtful about her ability to maintain long-term intimacy. Christine compassionately guides Stacey to explore the interplay between her condition, beliefs about herself, and fears around relationships. Together, they delve into the deeper layers of guilt, shame, and self-worth that have influenced Stacey's ability to open herself to love and connection. This heartfelt coaching call is a powerful reminder that while we all have challenges, they do not define our worthiness or capacity for relationships. Christine offers practical insights and tools to help Stacey and listeners embrace hope, reframe their beliefs, and find empowering ways to move forward.   Consider/Ask Yourself: Do you feel like a diagnosis or past experience has become a barrier to forming or maintaining relationships? Are you carrying guilt or shame over how your challenges have affected others? Do you feel stuck in a pattern of self-protection that limits your ability to experience intimacy? Are you ready to explore new perspectives and approaches to shift your mindset and open to new possibilities?   Key Insights and A-HAs: Our challenges, no matter how overwhelming, do not make us unworthy of love or connection. Beliefs about ourselves and our perceived "flaws" often become self-fulfilling prophecies, but they can be shifted. Neurodivergent conditions, like misophonia, can be addressed with a combination of self-compassion, rewiring techniques, and relational support. Everyone brings challenges into relationships—it's about how we work through them together. How to Get Over It & On With It: Explore resources like Dr. Robert Melillo's work on brain balance, and rewiring techniques for neurological conditions. Focus on the gifts and strengths you bring to relationships, rather than fixating on challenges. Practice belief work, such as Byron Katie’s “The Work,” to shift limiting narratives and open yourself to new possibilities. Consider joining a supportive program or retreat to broaden your perspective and strengthen your inner resources.   Special Invitation: March 2025 Retreat – From Wounds to Wisdom Join Christine Hassler and Stefanos Sifandos for a life-changing retreat, From Wounds to Wisdom, taking place at the Art of Living Retreat Center from March 28–30, 2025.

In this insightful episode, Christine coaches Alecks, who is navigating the fine line between self-care and selfishness. Alecks shares her struggles with balancing her own needs and feelings of guilt when caring for her family, particularly her mother. Together, they dive deep into inner child work, exploring how unresolved childhood wounds and patterns of self-abandonment can manifest in adult relationships and personal choices. Christine guides Alecks to connect with her inner child, offering tools to repair the sense of abandonment and foster a secure attachment within herself. This heartfelt conversation sheds light on how we can honor our own needs while still showing compassion for others, ultimately empowering us to make choices rooted in love rather than guilt.   Consider/Ask Yourself: Do you often feel guilty for taking time for yourself or prioritizing your own needs? Are you unclear about the difference between self-care and being selfish? Do you struggle with feelings of abandonment or guilt when dealing with family obligations? Are you ready to strengthen the relationship with your inner child and break old patterns?   Key Insights and A-HAs: Inner child work is an ongoing process that fosters healing and connection. Guilt often stems from unresolved childhood patterns of self-silencing and overcompensation. True self-care involves choosing from a place of love, not guilt or obligation. Repairing the relationship with your inner child can reduce feelings of abandonment and foster inner peace.   How to Get Over It & On With It: Check in with your inner child regularly to understand their needs and feelings. Practice secure attachment techniques, such as clear communication and creating agreements. Reflect on where you might be operating out of guilt or obligation instead of authentic care. Take actionable steps to balance family responsibilities with your own well-being.   Special Invitation: March 2025 Retreat – From Wounds to Wisdom Join Christine Hassler and Stefanos Sifandos for a life-changing retreat, From Wounds to Wisdom, taking place at the Art of Living Retreat Center from March 28–30, 2025.
