Ep94: Allison teaches us "The Work" of Byron Katie and I'm the guinea pig

It's getting real up in here. Allison Evans is BACK, and this time, she's teaching us one of my favorite tools: "The Work" of Byron Katie. Allison is a life coach (and one of Martha Beck's Wayfinder coaches, nbd) who works primarily with women looking to reclaim their lives and be the heroines of their own journeys. She teaches us how The Work works, and I get to be the fortunate example in this lesson. One of the reasons I love the work is because it is very intuitive. I can easily get myself into thinking knots, so any tools that help me get into my body and really feel into patterns of thinking and behaving is extremely helpful. Allison is a Certified Wayfinder Master Coach with an MA in English literature from George Mason University and undergraduate degrees in English and French from the University of Nebraska-Lincoln. Her work has been featured in elephant journal, Thrive Global, and Pathways magazine. She lives in Omaha with the people who inspire her work: her husband, daughter, and son.Links from the episode:Allison's website https://allisonevanscoaching.com/Website for The Work https://thework.com/Documentary "The Divided Brain" https://thedividedbrain.com/Dr. Iain McGilchrist interview on the podcast "Know Thyself" https://www.knowthyselfpodcast.com/podcast/dr-iain-mcgilchristYou can find Morgan on her website https://www.morganmotsinger.com/Chapters00:00 Introduction to Mindfulness-Based Tools12:46 Understanding the Four Questions of The Work36:19 Exploring Turnarounds and Self-Approval54:12 The Power of Visualization and Slowing Down01:05:38 The Work as a Meditation01:19:19 The Neurological Basis of Change01:30:26 Forensic Examination of Suffering
