LX2 Codependency Coaching

Appreciate the moment

Taking an opportunity to appreciate the moments that happen in a life. Life is long and life is short. There are moments we want to last forever and nothing does. Being present without holding on too tight to the expectation of how something "should" be. #liveinthemoment #staypresent #createjoy #everythingpasses

Knowing better, doing better

Talking today about diagnosis and title as information. When we learn our diagnosis or more information about how or why we do the things we do, it is an opportunity to learn new skills and tools to address it. We can take power from that information and use it to change how we exist in our world. 

Conscious Break Ups

How we consciously dissolve romantic parings when they are no longer working. Taking the time to honor what worked as we uncouple. Looking at how we change and grow through seasons of connection and separation. #consciousseparation #breakups #grief #whatareyourneeds #whowewere

What would people think? How that idea contributes to our Codependency

Often our anxiety and discomfort comes from how we think we are being perceived. The truth is no one cares all that much. We are all just out here doing our best. Trying to be the best version of ourselves. Take a moment to give yourself grace, kindness and patience. #whatwouldpeoplethink #lovingbetter #giveyourselfgrace #thefouragreements #doyourbest 

Interview with Renee Valdez: Friend, mentor, and powerhouse

Today we are talking with my former professor and friend Renee Valdez who has her own podcast, Visions of a blind woman. She talking about adjusting to her sudden vision loss and how she uses her new skills to rebuild herself. She is an incredible example of what resilience looks like.  

Fail forward

Today we are talking about the challenges of messing it up as we move forward. As we start to use new tools and skills we won't always use them right the first time. We are supposed to fail and mess things up and we get better at it with practice. #failforward @keepgoing #healingjourney #therapyworks #mentalhealth

Raising the bar as you increase your worth

Using new skills can be hard. As we increase our self-awareness of boundaries and expectations, we will raise the bar for our relationships. We teach people how to treat us. We can use skills and not do it perfectly and that is ok. We only get better at doing things with practice, grace and compassion. #doitanyway #manageyourpeace #liveyourworth #raisethebar 

Entitlement, worthy and deserving related to Codependency

Today we are talking about how being Codependent can contribute to feeling entitlement and resentment. When we love ourselves we recognize we are worthy and deserving of love simply by being. When we are doing so much for other people we start to create a sense of entitlement. We create transactional relationships that build pressure and unrealistic expectations. #entitlement #worhtyoflove #deserving #boundaries #peoplepleasing

Acceptance, growth and healing

We can't change or grow until we get to a level of acceptance of the situation. We have to tell ourselves the truth with kindness and love. We have to see all of our parts at the same time. It can be really hard and it is worth it. #changeishard #selfacceptance #lovingbetter #therapyworks #movingforward

Conflict and Codependency

Today we are talking about Conflict Style, expectations and emotions. When we are Codependent we can be conflict avoidant. We hold back from expressing our true emotions and expectations because we are trying to avoid discomfort. #conflictskills #emotionalawareness #askingforyourneeds #workingthroughit
