Okay, so I'm pretty sure this is the last followup installment of my Gifted Child Syndrome/Model Child series, but.... In this episode, I wanted to cover what it's like to spend most of your childhood as a pseudo-adult and having to scramble to pick up the pieces in your adult years. There's a super crazy disconnect of how to care for yourself and manage your own responsibilities or even how to just relax and figure out who you are as a person and what you like when you spent a great deal of your upbringing being the emotional (and sometimes physical) caregiver for members in your family. Relax while I unpack my thoughts and share my insights on trying to juggle "sponserberleries" and still trying to grow up as an adult.  Be sure to check out my socials (IG: @healingsuiteshow | Twitter: @HSuiteShow | FB: @HealingSuiteShow | TikTok: @thehealingsuite | Reddit: @Quinara_Phoenix) for updates on content, memes, and links to join any upcoming episodes.  💕🙏🏾🧿 --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/soul-therapist/message Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/soul-therapist/support

Welcome to December!! Thanks for sticking around with me this long and listening to all my crazy tales. This isn't your typical talk of forgiveness and tolerance. I'm not gonna preach to you about how forgiveness is good for your soul and all that jazz. I lowkey want all the smoke this holiday season and I'm here to back you up if you want it too (not with me ofc, I'm a non-smoker and I'll cry 😂). Kick back and get F.A.T. on all these talks of forgiveness, acceptance, and tolerance (ya see what I did there? huh? yeah you get it....). As always, I'll share my experiences with you and talk to you about what this holiday season can look like for you if F.A.T. is or isn't in the cards for you.  Join me Wednesday @ 6PM ET on Facebook & Instagram Live (@HealingSuiteShow) where I go over this episode more in depth and give you insight on what to look forward to on my Patreon.

Sooo... this is pretty much a follow up to last week's episode. There's layers to being a Gifted/Model Child, and none of it's easy. I go over the ways I broke myself down mentally to try to gain the love and approval of my parents and to maintain good standing in their eyes. I also talk about how those decisions affected me in my adult life.  Join me Wednesday @ 6PM ET on Facebook & Instagram Live (@HealingSuiteShow) where I go over this episode more in depth and give you insight on what to look forward to on my Patreon.

WELCOME BACK TO SEASON 2!!!  I'm back after a short hiatus with all new topics and stories and plenty of opportunities for you guys to join the discussion! Thank you to everyone who stuck around and checked in while I was gone, anticipating my comeback. I'm so glad I could keep coming back to make more episodes for you guys.  This week's topic is about HURT: What is it? Where does it come from? and Why do we feel it so deeply? As we navigate the intricacies and complexities of being hurt, take time to think about the ways you've been hurt and the ways you may have hurt others. Also while you're acknowledging your pain, remember to be gentle with yourself and try not to fault yourself for things that you didn't know. As always, this is a healthy, judgement free space where we get real with ourselves and the things we go through, making sure we exercise love and compassion as we grow through our traumas.

Welcome to the ESU where we value the importance of strong emotional security, whether it be with yourself or other people. Follow along as I explain the difference between living a life of honesty vs. one of strategy (as originally explained by Teal Swan; Links to follow), and the importance of introspection. Having that healthy relationship with yourself is probably one of the most important ones you'll  ever establish.  Check out the links to Teal Swan content below: https://tealswan.com/resources/articles/honesty-strategy/ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CAb8sbnGQdY https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=znndb0xusJM And be on the lookout for more content, conversations, and updates through my socials: Twitter: @HSuiteShow | Instagram: @healingsuiteshow | Facebook: The Healing Suite --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/soul-therapist/message Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/soul-therapist/support

Losing a friend is hard, whether you left them or they left you. It's a lot to process and it's definitely something that deserves our attention as a community. Friendships aren't just some one off thing that we hold low on the relationship totem pole, but somehow we manage to view them as less important than some of our other relationships that we have in life.  Join me this week as we go over what it's like to lose someone that we've known as our best friend, questions to ask yourself, and ways to heal from and let go of the hurt and grief attached to ending such a pivotal relationship.  Stick around and answer the poll and Q&A exclusively on Spotify, and stay tuned for other fun ways to engage with the show on social media!
