Ep. 43 Stop Releasing Your Limiting Beliefs (From A Somatic Coach Who Used To Teach This)

Stop getting rid of your limiting beliefs as a midlife woman! You've done the workshops, the breathwork, the journaling, maybe even the retreat, and you've worked so hard at releasing limiting beliefs. You feel lighter for a week. And then the same pattern comes right back, with a fresh layer of shame on top: Why is this still here? I already released this. What's wrong with me? I've been there, and I've said that language to clients too. I even put the word release in the name of my own method, the SEER Method™, which stands for Somatic, Energetic, Emotional Release. So this episode is me looking at my own work first and asking all of us in the personal development world to upgrade how we talk about healing. In this episode, I talk about why releasing limiting beliefs so often keeps women stuck, and what those "blocks" actually are. Every limiting belief you carry was built by a younger version of you, usually when it wasn't safe to think any other way. It kept you close to the people you needed. It kept you safe. So when you try to evict that part of yourself, your nervous system holds on tighter. Here's what I cover: Why the language of releasing your blocks feels so right, and why it quietly keeps you at war with yourself What a limiting belief really is, and the little girl who built it The difference between emotional release (tears, shaking, grief finally moving through your body) and trying to get rid of a part of you Why big cathartic release retreats often miss the point of real somatic healing A simple inner child practice you can use the next time you catch yourself thinking "I need to get rid of this" This is the heart of how I work now: the emotion releases, and the part integrates. The tears leave, and the little girl stays. There's nothing in you that needs to be cut out for you to feel free. And who's to say you're even stuck, just because your ego decided you should be somewhere else by now? If this episode landed somewhere, book a free Pattern Discovery Call at lesleyturner.ca. We'll find the pattern that's been running the show, and I'll give you one tangible next step to start integrating it.
