10 Sign Emotional Wounds Are Holding You Back!


Sometimes we find ourselves trying just about everything to overcome our frustrating mental blocks.

LOA, Affirmations, Visualizations, Positive thinking, prayer.....
But nothing seems to work? 

You're not alone..

And when we seek deeper to understand the reasons.

We find there are things from our past that are blocking us subconsciously holding us back like a heavy thick rope tied around our leg.

Often times as they are forgotten and deep-seated in our minds but the symptoms, well they don't go away.


1.  Addictive behaviors – turning to drugs, alcohol, sex, shopping, gambling as a way to push difficult emotions and upsetting trauma content further away.

2. Not able to tolerate intense feelings - preferring to even avoid feelings by any number of ways

3. Having a variety of short but intense relationships, refusing to have any relationships, dysfunctional relationships, frequent love/hate relationships

4.  Eating disorders – anorexia, bulimia, obesity, etc

5. Frequent self-blame – taking on inappropriate responsibility as if everything is their fault.

6. Inappropriate attachments to mother figures or father figure, even with dysfunctional or unhealthy people

7.  Intense anxiety and constant worry

8.  Ongoing or chronic depression

9.  Repeatedly acting from a victim role in current day relationships

10.  Repeatedly taking on the rescuer role, even when inappropriate to do so

It's shocking that traumas are one of the biggest reasons why people are not able to achieve more despite all the great techniques out there.

Almost as though we are looking for a door to find out way out.

Now just imagine you found yourself standing in front of gargantuan wooden doors.

And on the other side, you have your clear path with bright shining white lights.

All you need to do is push down on those tiny levers.. to swing open those huge doors and discover the person who will guide you through your journey.  That person is you!  Begin to trust yourself again. 

Go open the doors now.

My Experience as a Life Coach

Here’s the thing:   you don’t need to have a pristine life to be a coach . Coaching is about inquiry, asking the right questions, listening, empathy, and empowering someone to become their best self. I know many talented coaches whose life doesn’t look that great on social media — some of these coaches aren’t even on social media at all! They make a living because their clients recommend their services. They are talented coaches because they know how to coach, not because their life is perfect or they know how to run an auto drip campaign on MailChimp. I don’t do much 1-on-1 coaching, because personally, given my background and the counseling in ministerial training, I think I can provide more value writing, speaking, and doing workshops, but when someone approaches me about hiring me as their career coach, I ask them why they want to work with me. If they say anything close to “your life is awesome, I want your life,” I don’t respond to their email. Don’t get me wrong, my name is

Do you feel like you are always talking yourself out of success?    As soon as you start to set goals for yourself, do you suddenly have nagging thoughts about how you aren't up to the task or how you simply aren't qualified to carry it through?   If you have ever experienced either situation, you need to change the way you respond to your inner dialogue.  Instead of obeying your negative commands, you can use positive self-talk to counter the negativity and overcome nearly all anxious thoughts. Setting Goals and Sticking to Them with Positive Self-Talk Are you initially filled with excitement when you first set goals for yourself? Are these thoughts then followed by self-doubt and self-defeating thoughts that stop you in your tracks before you even get started?  It can be difficult to make the most of your life when you are constantly talking yourself out of being a success.  It can be frustrating and discouraging to have these thoughts constantly plaguing you.
