#SpokanePsychic #SpokaneMedium

In the last couple weeks I have noticed several people on television said, “I have to follow my gut,” or “my intuition tells me,” or something similar. Having worked as a counselor, intuitive coach and psychic medium for many years, this delights me.

Whenever I teach classes what happens is that my students (in a safe environment) begin to remember how intuitive they were as children and share with the group. We are all intuitive! What happens is parents who abandoned their own intuition stop their children from talking about their experiences. The child learns to shut it down. If they don’t give up their intuition as a result of their parents, their peers tease them and eventually this natural gift goes dormant.

In session with clients for the last 30 years, over and over again I see the same pattern. A client comes to me leaving a marriage or a relationship. I ask, “when did you know this was not the right person for you?” The answer sadly is “the day we met” or “the day we married.” This is the same with jobs and buying homes or moving to a new city.

What happened is that their intuition was clear but they did what I call “intellectual over-ride.” They let their ego get involved and didn’t listen to their own truth. They began to doubt themselves.

This is why I wrote the book Live Intuitively: Journal the Wisdom of your Soul. For years I have been creating Soul Stems ™ which are writing prompts to help clients get clear on their own truth. In the book I also teach you to create an image that represents the issue at hand. Then you use a Soul Stem to understand the image. Symbolism is such a powerful tool as I am sure you know from your dreams.

Whether you want to do some inner work or to free up your intuition to write that book you have been putting off, Live Intuitively will be a great start!

Spring came early this year in Spokane. It is usually around Mother’s Day that I buy the plants for my pots.

As a therapist I am too aware that Mother’s Day is a mixed bag for many. Some of us did not have great relationships with our mothers for whatever reason. As a psychic and medium, I have been able to help others reconnect with their mother after she passed and either communicate with her or understand why she did things the way that she did. I am so aware of how quickly we can loose people in our lives. My mother died expectantly at age 52. I wish I could have gotten over my “attitude” about what I didn’t get or how it should have been before she died.

In the mid 1990’s I did some deep inner work and re-mothered my inner child. Since then I have been helping clients re-mother themselves. I developed a process that I call What’s Wrong Little Girl. This of course could be changed for your inner male child. The process is below.

I wish I had accepted my mother just as she was. We all develop ways of protecting ourselves as we become shaped by our environment. Whether you become a victim, an avenger, withdrawn, or chaotic; we all do the best we can do at the time. It is as adults we have the opportunity to heal the past and be the best we can be in the here and now!

As you heal your own inner child and then re-integrate her back into your adult-Self, you are able to accept and love others, just as they are.

Enjoy the process and feel free to comment on your progress!

Journaling with your Inner Child

Write down

1. What’s Wrong Little Girl?

State the situation – Person said this, did this, etc. Respond to her by identifying her feelings.

2. I hear you were afraid, oh, you sound so sad, etc.

She responds with more information because she was heard.

3. Write more of what she has to say.

Ask her what she needs and listen!

4. She may need to go for a walk, to listen to music, take a bath, have a healthy snack.

Give her what she needs and promise her you will take care of her and DO IT!

She will learn to trust you again and soon she will integrate back into your adult Self and all will be so much better!
