Navigating career and purpose is an ongoing journey, not a destination. Many of us feel pulled between passion and practicality - it's natural to wonder how to stay true to yourself while also paying the bills.My conversation with Dr. Sarabeth touched on these challenges. She reminded us that we all have multiple talents worth exploring. By acknowledging our diverse interests and experiences, new opportunities can emerge.It takes courage to embrace change and experimentation. But seeing our careers as dynamic, rather than fixed, allows room for growth into our best selves. Dr. Sarabeth encouraged embracing uncertainty through curiosity - an open mind leads to new discoveries.Money worries can feel restrictive, but reframing our beliefs frees us. Aligning our work with core values like purpose and fulfillment is more important than any title. And small steps toward our passions, taken with patience, can pave the way.I hope you'll reflect on nurturing the diverse talents within you. Have the courage to chart your own path through exploration and community. With video on Youtube: https://youtu.be/kcwfskmNndw***Themes we covered:    - Sarabeth's Early Career Identity Crisis - Embracing Giftedness and Hybridity - Discovering Your Hybrid Title - Finding Your Unique Professional Identity - The Importance of Saying Your Hybrid Title Aloud - Navigating the Interplay of Giftedness and Multi-Potentiality - Career Belonging and Personal Fulfillment - Balancing Boredom, Burnout, and Self-Reflection - Finding Alignment Between Passion, Income, and Authenticity - Importance of hard work and trust - Authenticity and trust in personal growth - Challenges faced by responsible individuals - Importance of personal work and therapy - Balancing passion and practicality in career - Understanding financial needs and mindset - Crafting a strong elevator pitch - Building your brand Momentous ExperienceCatching up with people from 🇦🇺 and around the 🌏 who love to talk about their mental...Listen on: Apple Podcasts   SpotifyEggshell Therapy and Coaching: eggshelltherapy.com About Imi Lo: www.imiloimilo.com Newsletters: https://eepurl.com/bykHRz Disclaimers: https://www.eggshelltherapy.com/disclaimers Trigger Warning: This episode may cover sensitive topics including but not limited to suicide, abuse, violence, severe mental illnesses, relationship challenges, sex, drugs, alcohol addiction, psychedelics, and the use of plant medicines.

Full Transcription- https://eggshelltherapy.com/a-split-in-our-personality/Childhood Trauma Splitting is a psychological mechanism that allows someone to tolerate difficult and overwhelming feelings. It is often seen in Highly Sensitive Persons (HSPs) who suffer from Complex PTSD or childhood trauma. Having Trauma Splitting, or Structural Dissociation, means we are split into different parts, each with a different personality, feelings, and behaviour. As a result, we feel completely different from moment to moment. Since Highly sensitive people(HSP) respond to Complex Trauma more intensely, trauma splitting may create a split in your psyche, causing a myriad of confusing symptoms. Dissociation and Childhood Trauma Splitting may also be why therapy doesn’t seem to work for you. - Complex Trauma and Highly Sensitive Persons (HSPs)- Childhood Trauma Splitting and the Highly Sensitive Persons- The Traumatised Part and the Apparently Normal Part in the Split- Childhood Trauma Splitting Creates a Phobia You Carry- Complex Trauma (C-PTSD) and Childhood Trauma Splitting Symptoms- How to Cope with Complex Trauma as a Highly Sensitive Person- Why Therapy Doesn’t Work When You Have Complex Trauma- The Power Of Our Memories- Complex Trauma is a Dissociated and Invisible Trauma- Frozen Memories Might Be Why Therapy Doesn’t Work For You- Why Do You Regret What You Say Or Do?- Why Therapy Doesn’t Work For You- Healing from Childhood Complex Trauma by Summoning Your Wise PartIf this topic speaks to you, you may like the booksEmotional Sensitivity and Intensity: https://amzn.to/3Hn7lCFor,The Gift of Intensity: https://amzn.to/3BFokP0 For more, Please visit: https://www.eggshelltherapy.comFacebook:https://www.facebook.com/eggshelltransformationsNewsletters: https://eepurl.com/bykHRzDisclaimers: https://www.eMomentous ExperienceCatching up with people from 🇦🇺 and around the 🌏 who love to talk about their mental...Listen on: Apple Podcasts   SpotifyEggshell Therapy and Coaching: eggshelltherapy.com About Imi Lo: www.imiloimilo.com Newsletters: https://eepurl.com/bykHRz Disclaimers: https://www.eggshelltherapy.com/disclaimers Trigger Warning: This episode may cover sensitive topics including but not limited to suicide, abuse, violence, severe mental illnesses, relationship challenges, sex, drugs, alcohol addiction, psychedelics, and the use of plant medicines.

Original Article: https://imilo.medium.com/you-are-not-your-parent-98895d471f8b In this piece, we delve into the societal pressures that often prevent us from acknowledging the darker aspects of family dynamics. The expectation to present a picture-perfect facade of happy families can lead to the suppression of painful truths. The taboo surrounding parental toxicity is brought to light as we challenge the notion that all parents are inherently loving and selfless. We ought to shed light on the manipulative and narcissistic behaviors some parents exhibit, even when they have good intentions. You are not defined by your past or trauma. With resilience and self-love, you can emerge stronger, create new legacies, and become the person you are meant to be.Eggshell Therapy and Coaching: eggshelltherapy.com About Imi Lo: www.imiloimilo.com Newsletters: https://eepurl.com/bykHRz Disclaimers: https://www.eggshelltherapy.com/disclaimers Trigger Warning: This episode may cover sensitive topics including but not limited to suicide, abuse, violence, severe mental illnesses, relationship challenges, sex, drugs, alcohol addiction, psychedelics, and the use of plant medicines.
