The power of full permission to heal our trauma and expand our life.
In my teens and early twenties, I lived a life of restriction. Battling anorexia, my days consisted of obsessing over how little I ate, how big my body was, and how much I needed to exercise to soothe the raging self-loathing and anxiety that ran my system.
The turning point came at 22 when I spent a year solo traveling through South America, acting out my pain in wild black-out nights and generally putting myself in harm's way.
When I got back to California, I was ready to heal.
What changed? I met a group of magical women who gave themselves full permission.
These women embodied something I was starving for. They gave themselves permission to see their beauty, to cry and feel deeply, to eat and be full, to love each other and themselves, to fuck up, apologize, and try again.
My coach and mentor recently said, "The way we heal from one thing is the way we heal from all the other things," and I have found that to be true. From healing anorexia to the work I do now the tool of full permission remains a core part of my trauma healing technique. This is because many of the client issues I work with are essentially a lack of nourishment and a restriction on the flow of life energy. Full permission is a re-feeding of starved parts of self: physically, mentally, emotionally, spiritually, and communally.
Ultimately, it is a releasing of restricted energy so life can flow through you. It is the practice of allowing yourself to be fully you.
I wonder if there's a part of you that's longing for full permission?
When I talk to clients about giving themselves full permission to sleep, eat, fuck, scream, heal, or whatever they need, they often are aghast at the idea. "How could I?" they say.
My answer is simple: look at the level of restriction you place on yourself each day. No wonder you're exhausted, disconnected from your inner wisdom, and unable to fully experience pleasure and magic. You're using so much energy to restrict yourself. Imagine what your life could be if you let that flow...
Maybe you can relate?
I understand the fear that this can bring up. That's why it's essential to have someone who embodies a higher level of permission to support you.
Recently, with the support of my mentor and coach, I used the tool and gave myself full permission to heal an old trauma around being seen - and the results were beautiful! I had my first viral reel on Instagram (600k views!) and continued to show up in bigger and bigger ways.
The work really works...I invite you to reach out for a complimentary connection call, I would love to support you.
