Heal From the Ground Up

This summary is hard to write because it has to do with my parents.  I do not want to defame them in any way.  But the truth is I am not emotional responsible for their feelings.  I had to console my mother through panic attacks as a child which planted the seed into my adulthood that I was emotionally responsible for the world.  In doing so, I completely lost my sense of worth that lied within me...

This is a powerful coaching session where I uncover the root of all my problems and struggles.  I realize all the healing that I do for the others is the same healing I need to give to myself.  In this session you will see how the struggles of my adulthood are all actually rooted in my childhood.   Thank you Mike Sutton of the Be Build Have Podcast for coaching me and really changing my life.  

Living in fear is a pattern that was taught to us very early on in our lives.  The reason why we live out our childhood in our adulthood is because that is what was programmed into us.  In part two of this couples coaching session with my fiancee Daria and Paul Colaianni of the Overwhelmed Brain Podcast, you will see me trying to control Daria and my work environment through fear.  Unfortunately,...

In relationships you are always going to have fights.  It's normal and necessary.  But one thing to be conscious of is to avoid the downward spiral of relationship triggers.  What this means is when one partner gets triggered, he or she takes it out on their partner.  And that partner triggers the other partner back.  It just goes back and forth and builds layer upon layer on the real issue at han...

We believe the achieving of all our goals and dreams will bring us a feeling of happiness.  But the truth is everything that you so desperately seek resides within you.  And how you experience that is not setting a condition to your happiness but giving yourself the permission to feel the happiness that you are in the present moment.  Do not set a condition on your happiness with "goals" because y...

This is the first time I did an interview for my show.  You will get to learn about how all the healing I offer others stems from the healing I give to myself.  We all want to help others but we forget that to become selfless we need to first be "selfish."  Or in other words put yourself as a top priority instead of the last.   www.healfromthegroundup.com Follow me: https://twitter.com/HealGroundU...

Putting ourselves down is something as natural to us as breathing.  So natural that we are not even aware that we are doing it.    Our focus is purely on our "problems" that we have created which we treat as reasons for why we are not good enough.  The truth is not only are our fears false, but the truth is we are more powerful than we can ever imagine.  For us to realize this we must boldly claim...

The voice of inner critic is strong but acts like a ghost. It controls your every move but you don’t know that you are being controlled and by what. When you touch a hot stove, you don’t have the time to think about the pain, you just automatically remove your hand without thinking. We live our lives the same way, when something triggers a negative emotion we automatically do whatever we can to el...

In this part 3 finale you will discover the absolute root cause of my anger towards my fiancée. In  Part 1 you saw how my anger towards my fiancee was really an expression of feminine tendencies of being overly sensitive and emotional.  In Part 2 you began to see how my anger towards her was really about my anger towards myself.  Finally in part 3 is where I bare all and discover for the first tim...

This is Part 2 of a couples coaching session I had with my fiancée and Paul Colaianni of The Overhwhelmed Brain Podcast.   The biggest things I'm taking away from these couples sessions is that the issues that come up in my relationship has a lot less to do with the other person and mostly what's going within each one of us.  I'm realizing my anger towards my fiancée is really about the anger towa...

This is a couples coaching session with my fiancée and Paul Colaianni of the Overwhelmed Brain Podcast.  The previous couples session we did (episode 28) you saw the anger my fiancee had towards me which was really her suppressed anger towards her mother.  The tables have turned and you will now see my suppressed anger come up in the relationship and get directed at my fiancee.  Although I was not...

Things we do not like about ourselves we project onto others in such a subconscious way that we don't even realize what are real fears are.  I do this all the time with my fiancee and everything that I do not like about myself, I pour my frustration onto her.  It's almost I'm subconsciously saying she is the root cause of my insecurities.  This is something that happens so often in our relationshi...

I have spent my whole life using logic to understand life my life which has kept my negative feelings and most importantly pain at a safe distance from me.  But it is my pain that holds the missing key to my healing.  In this episode, I share all that I've learned from feeling the emotions I would typically suppress with logic.   http://healfromthegroundup.com/michael-discovers-the-healing-power-o...

In thinking of the title for this episode I could have titled it after the epiphany that surfaced which is "The Gift of Who You Are".  However, this epiphany was only brought out from me breaking through analysis paralysis.  The best way I believe to do this is from feeling all of our feelings as opposed to resisting them through analysis paralysis.  Thoughts and analysis are distractions to keep...

The impact that my mother has had on my life is something that has been hidden from me for most of my life.  Although I'm still processing it,  I'm beginning to realize the pain I've been hiding and denying within my self.  Having said this, my mother is still the best mother I can ever ask for.  But we all have been heavily impacted by our parents and the seed is planted in our childhood.  The wo...

We may be deeply in love with our romantic partners but the relationship still serves as a vehicle to heal our inner most wounds. Within the relationship triggers are naturally manifested for us to bring our wounds to the surface so we can begin to see them and heal them.  What this means is that despite all the nuisances, problems and arguments that may come up in a relationship, they are actuall...

Because of the pain associated with negative emotions we automatically numb or distract ourselves of these emotions.  The problem with this is that deep within our emotions is a message we need to understand and resolve.  But we can't find any resolve if we are so busy distracting ourselves from our emotions. This renders us helpless because these emotions will never leave us and end up controllin...

This podcast speaks to a hidden epidemic within families across the world.  Parents are a child's foundation and source of love.  But so many parents, for whatever reason are not able to be the parent they need to be for their child and leave the child to feel like they must be the source of foundation for the ones who brought them into this world.  This role reversal is an incredible burden and p...

We all strive hard to fulfill our life's purpose and vision. This session in coaching Dr. Karen Osburn, host of Mom at 41 podcast, was amazing for me because what she needed coaching on ended up being something that I wasn't clear myself.  Karen was able to reflect back to me what I'm not able to see within myself on my own.  Doing so, the answer we have both been looking for unveils itself within...

The new direction for my podcast comes from my heart's vision.  The new direction entails me coaching callers on the podcast and me being coached by other coaches.  I want pull back the curtains for the "teacher" and show where all of the teachings truly come from.  How the journey of the teacher and client coincide with each other and evolve with one another.  None of what I do on this podcast is...

Do you hate the feeling that anxiety gives you?  I know that you would do almost anything to get rid of that awful and painful feeling.  This is what we all do in our response to anxiety.  We try to lessen them and coax ourselves through our anxiety.   Listen to this powerful coaching session where Paul Colaianni from The Overwhelmed Brain Podcast transforms my entire relationship to my fears and...

What does it mean to be addicted to please?  It's about constantly looking to others to determine your self-worth.  Through this addiction to please others you forget who you are. This need to please others is something that has withheld me from showing you all of myself on the podcast.  In this podcast I announce a major decision to step even taller into my power and self-worth. Listen to this mo...

The feeling of anxiety is a big part of what makes us human.  However the feeling of anxiety can be very overwhelming and even painful that we try to fight it and avoid it at all costs.  This only makes it grow.  What we need to do differently is learn to face our anxiety and understand what it is about. When I come to face to face with my anxiety, I see it is often a major sign that I have forgot...

Learning to put myself first has been my most important and challenging life lesson.  I personally feel like it will be a lifelong lesson for me.  I'm not saying that I am relearning the same lesson because the lesson of putting myself first, just as with any lesson acts like a tree with hundreds of roots. I know that putting yourself first is something we label as selfish.  But the truth is the p...
