Ep 26: Breaking Through the Limitations of Therapy to Experience True Happiness

In this episode, I have the pleasure of chatting with seasoned therapist turned happiness coach, Karel Chan, about the limitations of therapy and how she broke through the traditional constructs to experience true happiness for her self and now her bevy of clients. This conversation is a powerful exploration of Karel’s personal journey asking and answering deeply provocative questions around the efficacy of therapy and its rightful place in these days and times.   For those who are engaged in therapy, thinking about therapy, or curious about what could be beyond therapy, this is a conversation you certainly want to listen to and be a part of. I’d love to hear from you in the comments about how this episode resonates with you.    About Our Guest:   I’m Karel Chan, a happiness coach helping women who feel stuck trying to “have it all” find true happiness and pursue the life they really want.  I’ve spent more than half my life seeking answers to the questions: What is true happiness, and how do I find it?  Ten years working with hundreds of clients has told me that we’re all looking for those same answers. Yet true, lasting happiness can seem like an unattainable myth.  My own path struggling to find happiness in the “right” things — a career, a husband, a family, a home — led to persistent heartache, disorder, and addiction as those things kept escaping me. I kept trying to do better and things kept somehow ending up worse. But I never gave up looking for the answer – the key that would unlock true happiness.  I finally found that key, through mindfulness, authentic self-love, unwavering compassion, and seeing the truth of what keeps us all stuck in a universal cycle of unrest and chronic unhappiness.  Now I want to share the secrets with other women who, like me, have felt stuck trying to “have it all.” True happiness is not a myth. I can help you find it, keep it, and finally have the happy, fulfilling life you really, truly want   Guest Info:   Website: www.anchoredawakening.com  Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/anchoredawakening    Connect with Erin Patten:   Website: themetabusiness.world  Email: [email protected]  Instagram: @iamerinpatten  Podcast IG: @themetabusinessmillennialpodcast  LinkedIn: linkedin.com/in/iamerinpatten  YouTube: youtube.com/@iamerinpatten    WANT MORE?  Join our MetaBusiness Newsletter www.erinpatten.com/contact-us  Which MetaBusiness Avatar are you?
