Softening resistance and the ‘inner rebel’

How to heal your inner rebel course

by 2 Comments

If strong feelings of resistance, no, or ‘you can’t make me’ arise when you try to make positive changes in your life, you may feel caught in a battle between the part of you that wants to change and the part of you that says no.

This can leave you feeling unsure of what to do: do I move through the resistance? Or do I stop, and pause?

You may feel frustrated that you’re caught in this inner conflict, unable to move forward.

If you get caught in feelings of no and resistance, or struggle to make changes that will nourish your well being, I invite you to try the Inner Rebel worksheet.

The worksheet walks you through a process of tending and befriending resistance – learning about these parts that say no so you can care for them rather than react to them. As you get to know these parts, you gain more confidence in ‘steering the ship’ of your life and attuning to what’s needed:  do I pause? Slow down? Stop? Take a break? Or move forward?

Why do we say that food is a ‘mother?’ And what does it mean that overeating is an ‘attachment cry?’ If you self soothe with food, struggle with self criticism, and would like to gently soften these patterns, we’re here to help.

At Growing Humankindness you’ll learn about the relational needs that drive food seeking so you can understand your behaviors with wisdom, kindness, and empathy.

We offer a couple levels of help. The first step is to join the (free) Growing Humankindness Welcome Room on our Mighty Network, where you’ll receive helpful tools like The Binge Rescue Worksheet.

To go deeper, we offer home study courses and the Growing Humankindness membership community. The difference between the two is the level of support.

In addition to course materials, the membership community includes access to our course library, ​a forum to be warmly supported by and to connect with others, webinars where you can ask questions, and structure and support to work your way through courses (we go through courses as a cohort.)

Our approach is rooted in relational neuroscience and loving presence – two streams that we think flow from the same river, resting in compassionate love.

You can learn about all our offerings here.
