In this deeply supportive session, Christine coaches Erin, who has struggled with self-worth, self-trust, and confidence throughout her life. Recently assessed as neurodivergent, Erin has experienced both relief and grief—relief in finally having clarity, but grief in recognizing how much self-criticism and self-betrayal she carried for years. Christine guides Erin through understanding how childhood modeling, people-pleasing, and bypassing emotions have impacted her confidence. Together, they explore how building self-worth comes not from external validation, but from radical self-acceptance, emotional release, and advocating for one’s needs in daily life. If you’ve ever felt “different,” struggled to trust yourself, or wondered how to move beyond self-criticism into true confidence, this conversation will resonate deeply. Consider / Ask Yourself: Did you grow up feeling “different” or like you didn’t fit the mold? Do you often bypass your feelings, telling yourself “it’s not a big deal”? Have you learned to be a chameleon, shape-shifting to fit others’ needs? Are you quick to explain or excuse others’ behavior instead of honoring your own hurt? Key Insights and A-HAs: True confidence comes from radical self-acceptance. Self-betrayal often shows up in small ways—ignoring needs, withholding truth, or people-pleasing. Relief can be a doorway into compassion and deeper healing. Suppressed emotions drain energy; released emotions unlock creativity and confidence. The inner child feels safer—and more confident—when we advocate for ourselves in everyday moments. How to Deepen the Work: Notice moments of self-betrayal in daily life and practice small acts of self-advocacy. Allow yourself to feel emotions fully, without judgment or rushing to fix them. Begin somatic practices that connect you to your body (dance, yoga, movement). Read Expectation Hangover by Christine Hassler, especially the section on emotional release.
