110. Self Worth, Secure Attachment and Co-Dependency from Amber Gordon, a Therapist turned Coach

The relationships we see around us from a young age have the ability to deeply affect our core beliefs about ourselves. It affects our attachment style, our personality, our way of being. Some of the most important work we can do is start to unpack the intergenerational narratives we’ve inherited and challenge them. We learn everything from what is modeled for us, especially in those first five years of life. We learn how to be human beings, how to interact with people, what's acceptable and what's not acceptable how to think about ourselves and how to think about ourselves in relationship to our environment. So when we start to really dive deep into the “why” behind those beliefs we hold, we can start to unpack that narrative and shift it to a place of high energy and vibe. In today’s episode, I’m chatting to Amber Gordon, a trained marriage and family therapist turned coach. This is a special episode for me because I was a client of Amber’s and she helped me shift the generational beliefs I held of being “not quite right” and uncover what was holding me back. Through working with Amber, I realized that being “weird” or “different” is actually what gives me the power to call in my highest self. In our discussion, Amber talks about the unconscious narratives that we hold in our bodies, how these are developed through the relationships around us and the methods she uses to help her clients break free of those beliefs. As Amber tells us, our energy is our most important asset. If we are sitting in a place of lack or focussing on what we don’t have, we are in a place of low energy and that low energy attracts more of that low energy. If we want to feel good enough and confident and attract massive abundance or build a business, we need to ensure we’re working from a place of high energy. And to do this, we need to challenge and shift those generational narratives that are informing us. We might still have the same thought but we have the power to shift how we feel about it and how we exist in relationship to it. And remember, just because you have this initial blueprint you’ve inherited that’s not serving you now doesn’t mean that it’s your blueprint for life. You can change it. You can shift it. And that’s where you’ll find your highest self. Click this link to connect with Amber!
