Ep: 176 Coaching Session: From Self-Abandonment to Self-Acceptance

In this Cheaper than Therapy coaching session, we sat down with Claire as she unravels the intricacies that come along with the end of a marriage. Claire's internal struggle echoes the question that many women are confronted with: what does it mean, as a woman, to end a relationship and find our true sense of Self within our patriarchy-based societal norms and expectations?🌟 Big Takeaways from this Episode:Tangled Societal Norms: We delve into societal expectations of women, and the paradox we face between individual desires and collective demands centered in codependency. Do we really need to exist in a tolerable level of permanent unhappiness, specifically in relationships?Unveiling a Sense of Self:A relationship’s end brings an opportunity to trust yourself as you lean in to the reintroduction to your true sense of self, while simultaneously owning that our codependency invites self-abandonment. Acknowledging personal wants is not selfish, and we are worthy as is.Sacred Solitude: Finding acceptance that we may walk through life’s fires without support or guidance, and how that trust in yourself can lead to spiritual epiphanies.Our candid conversation with Claire aims to inspire and assure that even amidst the chaos of unraveling relationships, finding one's true self is the ultimate gift.🎙This podcast is definitely Cheaper than TherapyRemember, we’re therapists, but we’re not your therapists.

Om Podcasten

Vanessa Bennett and Dené Logan are two soul sisters and therapists who connected over their shared love of depth psychology—known as the psychology of the soul. It is a template for diving beneath the surface to examine the complex natures of being human while on the quest for wholeness, including the relationship to spirit. Through their training and lived experiences with depth, yogic psychology, and mindfulness, they developed a passion for supporting others in living their most authentic lives while cultivating a fulfilling and rich relationship with the Self, capital “S.” Every Wednesday, Vanessa and Dené look to demystify, de-stigmatize, and desensitize what goes on both inside the therapy room and in daily life, through soul-provoking conversations with fellow seekers, thought leaders, changemakers, and real people during live coaching sessions as they navigate the hard work it takes to be a human.
