On this month’s Chat with Crystal episode, Ellen calls in. As a student in our current Emotional Edge 2.0 course, Ellen shares that she’s feeling stuck on one of the Emotional Age Sub-Archetypes that Crystal covered this past week, called ‘the Chubby Bubby’ (also found in Crystal’s best-selling book, The Emotional Edge). Ellen feels as though her Chubby Bubby is holding her back from living her fullest life. On the other hand, she knows that part of herself is creating some stability and ‘protection’ in her life, so she’s scared to let her go. Like many women, in the back of her mind, Ellen worries that if her Chubby Bubby is no longer in control and she has her mojo back, that she may be unfaithful to her husband or question if he’s enough.
Crystal helps Ellen to dialogue with this part of herself, as well as a different Emotional Age Sub-Archetype she’s “locked away in the basement” who’s desperate for love, her Charmer. Crystal urges Ellen to do some deep journaling to let those two parts of herself dialogue and feel heard so that the real her — Ellen’s Woman Energy can take the lead.
Melanie also joins the latter half of the call. She shares that although she and her ex-boyfriend separated six months ago, she can’t seem to shake him. Melanie admits that she doesn’t even like him or his personality, but for some reason, she can’t seem to let him go or stop replaying old conversations in her mind. Crystal learns more about their shaky relationship to help Melanie understand why she might feel this attachment and let it go.
