## Resource

Do you feel stuck? Have people told you all you need to do is let go? Have you been shamed by others because you find it hard to stop thinking about how a narcissistic parent has wounded you? Do you ruminate, and find yourself clinging to old memories, plagued by negative self talk? Are you codependent, a people pleaser, who finds it hard to let go, even when you know you should walk away? If so, this episode is for you. Inside you will learn Lisa A.

These are also the types of logic and neurological based trainings she offers those within her coaching courses. Today, she shares her insights with those in her podcast community in the hopes of inspiring them to believe that the power to change and heal their lives has been within them all along.

It's in a particular type of controlled, conscious repetition, that allows for the brain to edit and rewire itself in real time. Sound interesting? You know it does! And if you are someone who feels stuck, but you ache for joy, emotional freedom and total authenticity, Lisa's work offers a pathway through the muck of the past. 0:00 Introduction--what reframing what letting to actually means 5:00 defining letting go through the lens of metacognition 6:26 Step One-accepting the external reality (fact gathering) 9:21 Step Two-accepting the internral reality (data observation) 11:00 When your self identity is crushed as a child 16:00 The codependent approval seeking pattern 17:00 The power of self editing and somatic release 17:40 Step 3-the Metacognitive shift from lack to gratitude 18:01 Holding pain…
