From Self-Forgetting to Self-Remembering: Theresa Gale on The Mindful Journey

Most people don't lose themselves in a single dramatic moment, they lose themselves one ordinary day at a time, and often nobody tells them until years have passed. Sana sits down with executive coach and certified Enneagram trainer Theresa Gale to talk about self-forgetting, self-remembering, and what it actually takes to come back to yourself.Theresa shares how a difficult early childhood experience shaped lifelong patterns she didn't fully understand until she discovered the Enneagram at 37, and offers a simple practice for catching those patterns in the moment they're happening.About the Guest:Theresa Gale is an executive coach and certified Enneagram trainer who has spent more than 30 years working with leaders navigating the gap between the life they're living and the one they sense is possible. She is the author of The Inner Work of Love and Action: An Embodied Enneagram Path from Self-Forgetting to Self-Remembering. As a young child, she experienced a period of family separation and childhood trauma that shaped patterns she later came to understand through the Enneagram.Key Takeaways:Self-forgetting is a habitual pattern of thinking, feeling, and acting that usually forms early in life as a way of staying safe, and it can run on autopilot for decades before it's recognizedHealthy responsibility and self-forgetting aren't the same thing, the real difference is whether you're fully present and intentional in a moment or running an old automatic patternNotice your own early warning signs, physical cues like a tight stomach can signal you're slipping into an old pattern before you consciously realize itWhen triggered, a brief three-centered check-in, noticing your thoughts, feelings, and body, can reveal whether the right next step is to act, wait, or do nothing at allGrowth is better understood as unfolding who you already are, rather than "arriving" somewhere or fixing yourself once and for allConnect With the Guest:Website: https://innerworkofloveandaction.com Email: [email protected] Chapters:[00:00] Losing Yourself One Ordinary Day at a Time[01:52] Meet Theresa Gale, Executive Coach and Enneagram Trainer[02:51] An Early Childhood Experience and the Patterns It Created[11:16] The Courage It Takes to Do This Work[14:18] Healthy Responsibility vs. Self-Forgetting: Where's the Line?[17:12] The Three-Centered Practice for Catching Automatic Patterns[21:15] Growth as Unfolding, Not Arriving Somewhere🎙️ Want to Be a Guest on Healthy Mind, Healthy Life?Send me a direct message on PodMatch.👉 DM Me Here: https://www.podmatch.com/hostdetailpreview/avik🌱 About Healthy Mind By Avik™️Healthy Mind By Avik™️ Global Mental Wellness Podcast Network - focused, credible, no more identity clutter.👉 Subscribe and be part of this healing journey.Refer a GuestKnow someone who would be a great fit for one of our podcast shows?
