I Was Unable To Control Unwanted Childhood Memories
When we first connected, my life felt like an absolute shit show. I was about 5 months post-partum with my third child and was feeling extreme anxiety around my children, husband and, most of all, my mom.
I was unable to control unwanted childhood memories from surfacing and knew that I needed help - I was the mom that was getting frustrated with her kids playing and avoiding connection with those I loved the most because I didn't feel safe or relaxed around them. I was living in fear of damaging my kids’ childhoods and of giving them their own traumas through my reactions.
This was the first time I had ever worked with a coach and I was super nervous, as I had never seen a therapist or truly opened up about my past to someone before.
I had heard about Lavinia and her program on a podcast, and just knew that this was the right step to heal my past. After my first session, I experienced extreme relief just knowing that there was a roadmap ahead and that I would soon be getting closer to the goals I had set for myself. My expectations were met and more!
I could cry just writing about what has shifted since coaching, because I no longer feel trapped in my childhood memories. ‘Little me’ feels free and healed, I am able to show up and be present with my kiddos, husband and especially with my mom, and not only am I able to provide myself with comfort in times of need, but I have also learned to live in line with my cycle and give myself the grace I need on a daily basis.
It has felt so amazing to live without the constant imposter syndrome that used to drive my decision making. Now I can sit back and just enjoy my beautiful life without needing to run away.
What surprised me the most during the series was the fact that once I had healed my mother imprint, I was able to be around my mom again without feeling a huge rush of anxiety. This series really saved the relationship with my mom and this gives me so much relief.
The biggest learning I received from coaching is how to utilize my inner parent to guide me through tough times - I feel like I no longer have to rely on others for my happiness but can rely on myself to bring happiness and joy to my life.
The coaching series was 100% the best value - I only wish I could have found Lavinia sooner! I am recommending it to friends, family and co-workers!
Thank you for really guiding me and taking your time on my specific needs. You do amazing work and were so personable, Lavinia! Thank you for changing my life for the better.
