Do You Have Emotional Flashbacks?

I wonder if you are like me–someone who experiences ’emotional flashbacks’?

You’re going about your day . . . say ‘opening your mail when someone knocks on your front door’ and you instantly feel stress. They start knocking louder and more forcefully, so you pretend you’re not home and silently creep up the stairs, feeling anxious for no ‘real’ reason.

Or, you’re driving in your car when someone cuts you off and then screams at you. You instantly feel overwhelmed–perhaps you begin shaking. Deep down, you know there is no way this single incident could create this much emotion inside of you.

What is going on? What are you experiencing?

Emotional flashbacks take us into a timeless part of our psyche that in a flash we are brought back to an old feeling, probably from childhood, of being helpless, hopeless or in danger. Unprotected. Unsafe. Unseen. Unimportant.

But instead of connecting the dots to the past and facing the underlying wound, we instinctively fly into a ‘fight or flight’ response where we want to assert ourselves or run for the hills.

For most of my life, I ran for the hills. I protected myself by creating a life where no one could get ‘too close to me’ to hurt me. I was the Lone Wolf. My childhood had left deep gaping scars. And my emotional flashbacks were hard at times to deal with.

But here’s what I’ve learned and what I want to help you with too:

Emotional flashbacks are opportunities to release old, unexpressed feelings of fear, hurt, and abandonment. We can turn our tears into self-compassion and our anger into self-protection. We don’t need to be ‘triggered’ in the moment, afraid to trust, afraid to live our greatest life!

And I’m here/hear to help you do just that: Heal, trust, and live happily!

I have created a 12-Week Emotional Edge TeleCourse that will help you with this powerfully healing process.

We get started on Wednesday, September 7th!  

Will you be joining me? Check it out >>>> www.swatinstitute.com/course/12-week-telecourse/

And in honor of Oprah.com featuring this work twice in the last two months we’re giving an extra $100 off.

Isolation kills the spiritIsolation is a killer of the soul. Community builds immunity.

I have created the safest, most supportive, private ‘space’ for you to heal from your past and to help you ‘un-adrenalize’ your body from stress.

You may wonder why 12 Weeks? Why do we need 3 months together?

Well…real recovery is a gradual process and it takes real time to do the work for it to ‘sink in’ and replace the old fearful flashbacks.

I’m committed to you! Are you committed to you? Will you allow yourself to heal and evolve into the most empowered, happiest, healthiest version of you ever!

We all need this type of work–regardless of gender, income, or marital status. Some of the richest and most successful people in the world are still emotionally empty and afraid.

Join me Wednesday, September 7th and let’s heal your heart, recontextualize your past, and set a new course for a loving and joyous future! www.swatinstitute.com/course/12-week-telecourse/
