Heal From the Ground UpThe Anger of Our Lost ChildhoodAre you tired of being angry? I believe our anger has a lot to do with what was lost in our childhood. We don't know that because we're so busy being angry at others and ourselves. What we're really angry about is losing our childhood because our parents needed us as children for their emotional support. Throughout our entire lives we try to take on the pain of our parents so we can lessen their burden. But the whole time we don't even know this pain is not ours so we are so frustrated why it never goes away.

I believe relationships can often be enmeshed in the sense you have two people so focused on each other but not looking at themselves. One partner can subconsciously blame the other partner for their past wounds. While the other partner feels responsible and wants to be their savior. Either way, you have two people so focused on each other which causes their individual happiness to be dependent on what's outside of themselves.
Interestingly this phenomenon of enmeshment also carries over to how we relate to the world and to life itself. We look to the world to give u...2015-06-0318 minHeal From the Ground UpChasing After Success Because You're a Failure
Why are we chasing after something we already are? Why are we chasing after strength when we already strong? Why are we chasing after worthiness if we already worthy? The only reason why we chase after something is because we believe we don't have it. We believe we are a failure so we must chase after success. We believe we are worthless so we chase after worthiness. Listen to this week's podcast to stop chasing after your greatness but living through your greatness.

Interestingly this helped see it in my own relationship where I would make my fiancee responsible for my own emotional well-being. When you make others responsible for your well-being you nit pick at everything they do, because everything they do carries the heavy weight of your emotional wellbeing.

We often feel we are a prisoner to our own minds. We are constantly wrestling with our thoughts and hate ourselves for our negative emotions. We either try to think our way out of the emotion, numb ourselves with busyness or project our self-hate onto others. The whole time we are doing everything we can to avoid our emotions at all costs. But the truth is there is infinite wisdom that lies deep within our emotions once we allow ourselves to be present with them.

The pain and fears we carry are so hard to let go because they feel like they are a part of our soul. The amazing thing is that our pain doesn't even belong to us. As empaths or codependents we took on the pain of those we loved in order to lessen their load.

Heal From the Ground UpThe Double Edged Sword of Empathy Codependency is a word we often view as something that is negative and needs to be eliminated. My understanding of codependency is that it is a result of a gift of ours that we overuse. That is the gift of being an Empath. As empaths we feel, identify and can even feel responsible for the emotional well-being of others. This is a gift we use to intuitively know what others need in order to break free from their old wounds. However, this gift becomes a doubled edged sword when we don't turn it off and drain ourselves dry because of it...2015-04-0819 minHeal From the Ground UpWhy You're A Gift to the World
We falsely believe that accomplishing our life goals and dreams is what bring us our self-worth. The truth is who we are just as we are is a gift to the world. Ironically when we realize that, is when our greatest dreams and goals come true. Therefore your gift to the world is not your "success.: It is you just as you are.

In a relationship, boundaries are so important to protect not only yourself but your partner. Because once boundaries are crossed both parties are disrespecting themselves. Any disagreement can only get worse if boundaries are crossed. In this society we praise being selfless which fosters the idea that we should not have boundaries.

Every waking moment is an opportunity to share the gift of who you are and not to validate your self worth with what you do. Lacking boundaries is not knowing where you end and the other person begins. Without boundaries you cease to exist and thus sacrifice yourself to purely become a vessel to help others. Reclaiming your boundaries allows you to give from the gift of who you are. Without boundaries we are forced to be a servant desperately seeking for value outside of ourself and to bring it within our empty self.

We all feel overwhelmed by all the things that we need to get done and especially all the problems we need to resolve in order to get to where we want to in life. But the real issue is how we focus on these problems that take ourselves out of reality. Thus the very thing we think will get us closer to our life goals and visions is actually taking us farther away from it all.

Heal From the Ground UpBasing self-worth on what you DO and not on who you ARE This summary is hard to write because it has to do with my parents. I do not want to defame them in any way. But the truth is I am not emotional responsible for their feelings. I had to console my mother through panic attacks as a child which planted the seed into my adulthood that I was emotionally responsible for the world. In doing so, I completely lost my sense of worth that lied within me. And because I had no self worth from within, I had to create it with what I accomplished. In doing so I always...2015-03-0312 minHeal From the Ground UpMichael Uncovers the Root of All His Problems
This is a powerful coaching session where I uncover the root of all my problems and struggles. I realize all the healing that I do for the others is the same healing I need to give to myself.

In part two of this couples coaching session with my fiancee Daria and Paul Colaianni of the Overwhelmed Brain Podcast, you will see me trying to control Daria and my work environment through fear. Unfortunately, what I try to control, only ends up controlling me by living in constant fear.

It's normal and necessary. But one thing to be conscious of is to avoid the downward spiral of relationship triggers. What this means is when one partner gets triggered, he or she takes it out on their partner. And that partner triggers the other partner back. It just goes back and forth and builds layer upon layer on the real issue at hand. It is important to look at where this trigger is coming from. But it's hard to see that when both partners are just in a downward spiral of trig...2015-02-101h 13
Heal From the Ground UpWhy Feeling It Is Achieving It We believe the achieving of all our goals and dreams will bring us a feeling of happiness. But the truth is everything that you so desperately seek resides within you. And how you experience that is not setting a condition to your happiness but giving yourself the permission to feel the happiness that you are in the present moment. Do not set a condition on your happiness with "goals" because your worth is unconditional.

This is the first time I did an interview for my show. You will get to learn about how all the healing I offer others stems from the healing I give to myself. We all want to help others but we forget that to become selfless we need to first be "selfish." Or in other words put yourself as a top priority instead of the last.

Putting ourselves down is something as natural to us as breathing. So natural that we are not even aware that we are doing it. Our focus is purely on our "problems" that we have created which we treat as reasons for why we are not good enough. The truth is not only are our fears false, but the truth is we are more powerful than we can ever imagine. For us to realize this we must boldly claim back our power. We are all kings and queens that have forgotten our power.

However, this epiphany was only brought out from me breaking through analysis paralysis. The best way I believe to do this is from feeling all of our feelings as opposed to resisting them through analysis paralysis.

The problem with this is that deep within our emotions is a message we need to understand and resolve. But we can't find any resolve if we are so busy distracting ourselves from our emotions. This renders us helpless because these emotions will never leave us and end up controlling our lives until we understand what message they have for us.

The caller Mave states that she lacks confidence and finds herself very vulnerable to taking on others' opinions of her. She can spend a whole day ruminating about another's opinion of her. As a child, she learned to not trust herself. We went through a process of discovering the experiences that resulted in not trusting herself, and how to start to love herself – instead of giving authority to others to define her worth and make her feel safe.
