Transitions are liminal spaces. Entering a liminal space has historically meant standing at the threshold of a rite of passage leading you from the previous place, identity, relationship, or community to the new. It has long been believed that these liminal spaces are permeated by chaos making them sacred, fertile grounds for birth, death, resurrection, transmutation, communion, and a new divine order.

If you dare to pause and occupy this liminal space, you give yourself permission to linger and to metabolize. You absorb the nourishment you have received and excrete the unnecessary waste that would otherwise drain your life resources. By knowing when and how to receive, let go, and begin again, you engage in an act of self-compassion for your future self. You re-energize the physical, psychological, and spiritual cells that make the future you YOU.

Have you ever been in the midst of transition, in a state of limbo, or at a crossroads that sent you on a downward spiral? Perhaps you started questioning yourself, your needs and wants, your past decisions, your perceptions of reality, and your experience of those closest to you.

Imagine you could instead of feeling overwhelmed or disempowered, get comfortable with the discomfort and find empowerment in the unknown. Imagine you could experience a sense of home or shelter within these in-between moments. What if you could trust that you can handle what comes your way and still wisely, cautiously, and bravely navigate the wilderness of what lies ahead?

In this month’s newsletter, we explore together the concept of transition and all the crossroads that build upon each other to create a life. I share the 4 steps to help you navigate change and transitions in ways that serve your highest self and purpose. My hope is to give you more resources to deal with change and uncertainty. As always, I share these steps with you as a trauma therapist peering though the lens of Internal Family Systems (IFS) therapy. (IFS therapy is an evidence-based, trauma-focused therapy that uses the multiplicity model of the mind and the relational nature of healing to explore, connect with, and transform your inner world).

Read this month's newsletter, "Letters from Sofia," to learn how to let go and begin again. Be sure to sign up to not miss insights, resources, and actionable wisdom to heal from trauma, find your Self, and experience the joy of living.

Time is a medium that offers a containing sense of coherence necessary for the expression of our life force across past, present, and future selves. Time is intimately linked to our identity and the ways in which we navigate the world as both a cumulative byproduct of our past selves and an active agent in service of our future selves. We have deep inner conflicts and polarizations around time as individuals and as a collective. This is why in this month’s newsletter I want to talk about time management and the parts of us that engage in the perception and experience of time. Not in the ordinary, traditional sense of productivity but in the extraordinary, mythical sense of the “rapture of aliveness” as Joseph Campbell would say.

The secret to overcoming resistance is to befriend the part of you that uses resistance to keep you safe or protected. These change-resisting parts are in direct opposition to the change-making parts of you that are committed to doing whatever it takes to manifest genuine transformation.

When you’ve experienced extreme psychological abuse, you live in an upside down world. Everything becomes inverted. Words and experiences are redefined to mean their opposites in true Orwellian fashion. Relationships become sources of pain and suffering as opposed to opportunities for love and mutual recognition. Intimacy becomes a means for subjugation and loss of power as opposed to a pathway toward surrender and transcendence.

You may feel deeply conflicted or fragmented as a result. The battle between the change-making/flowing and change-resisting/rooting parts can become so overwhelming that your entire nervous system gets swept up in these oscillating push-pull dynamics. Your internal pendulum swings back and forth between being amped up ready to bear down and push through in one moment and, in the next, dulled down, stripped of energy, and on the verge of collapse and burnout. This can be a self-alienating experience—we become strangers, even enigmas, to our own ourselves. Change is exactly what some parts of us most need and simultaneously exactly what other parts of us most fear. Genuine transformation is a dream to one aspect of our psyche and a horrific nightmare to another.

Sign up to receive the latest newsletter that guides you through a process of understanding and connecting to these warring parts of you that keep you stuck and in turmoil. Read the latest here >> https://buff.ly/4eR5oAg

You are thriving in some areas of life, what pioneering trauma expert Dr. Bessel van der Kolk calls the “islands of safety.” But there’s a catch. Nothing feels quite enough or good enough. A sense of emptiness or hollow discontent permeates the recesses of your psyche and becomes the soundtrack to your life. Sure, there may be moments of elation or aliveness but they quickly succumb to relief, then numbness, then shame, and then finally onto the next big problem, milestone, project, or goal. This is how you know you have unresolved trauma as a high performer or high achiever.

You may experience extreme oscillation between self-confidence and self-flagellation. You can muster up superhuman strength and resilience one moment and the next you’re down on your knees at the hands of a relentless inner critic or perfectionist part of yourself. Worst of all you feel like an imposter because your insides don’t match your outsides. You have a life worthy of celebration yet you feel dissociated, deadened, or even resigned to the gilded cage of success and performance. At the heart of the matter is a deep spiritual misalignment. How can you become an authentic leader or gain genuine mastery in the external world when you feel so untethered from your own inner world and sense of Self?
