The Resistance Party: a space to explore the things we've been avoiding

​I don't know about you, but my mind is excellent at convincing me to ignore the things that are important to me but I'm scared to do.

​But of course, we all know that the gold (or peace, energy, joy) is on the other side of the fear.

​What I've found, though, is exploring our resistance together dispels some of the chafrge around it. That's exactly what this is for.

​But first - what kind of resistance are we talking about? It could be a new project or task, a decision you've been putting off, a difficult conversation, anything that feels like a "nag" but you can't seem to get yourself to do it.

​What we'll do:

​An opening meditation to ground ourselves in calm, acceptance that we'll carry through the exercise.

​We will then spend some time in silence writing out the things we feel like we're resisting.

​We may choose to share (or not! - no pressure) what came up and together we'll explore how to sit with our resistance and explore it with curiosity - why it's there, what it's protecting us from, and what it needs.

​We'll end with an hour (or more depending on schedules) actual doing. The starting friction is always the hardest to get over, so we'll do it together in a shared supportive space.

​If it's not "work" you're resisting, this hour can just be spent contemplating what you need to do, sitting with emotions that come up, rehearsing a conversation - whatever you need.

​PS. I'm a somatic IFS (internal family systems) coach so there will be elements of somatic and parts work but no prior knowledge of it is necessary. This session is entirely experiential.

​No sharing is required - this is a personal journey. But if you're comfortable, turning your video on during the introduction helps warm the room for everyone.
