Who You Were Meant To Be

November 16, 2018 by Susie Morgan

“Maybe the journey isn’t so much about becoming anything. Maybe it’s about un-becoming everything that isn’t really you so you can be who you were meant to be in the first place.” -Butterflies and Pebbles One of the most powerful pieces of work I get to do with people is to have them look at […]

Pay With Their Lives

November 11, 2018 by Susie Morgan

“And the truth is that all veterans pay with their lives. Some pay all at once, while others pay over a lifetime.” -JM Storm Ah, Lionhearts, this is so true. And, so much more easily said than done. To rebuild a life that has been broken down – or to build from scratch when there […]

To Rebuild A Life

October 29, 2018 by Susie Morgan

“We’ve got to live, no matter how many skies have fallen.” -D.H. Lawrence Ah, Lionhearts, this is so true. And, so much more easily said than done. To rebuild a life that has been broken down – or to build from scratch when there was nothing solid there is the first place – can seem […]

I Am Not Powerless

October 10, 2018 by Susie Morgan

“If there is no wind, row.” -Latin Proverb I am powerless. So many times this past week, I heard versions of this belief – triggers taking my clients back to their earliest experiences – when they had no voice, when their feelings didn’t matter, when they were children essentially in captivity with caregivers too broken […]

May We Be

October 4, 2018 by Susie Morgan

May we be as confident in our worth as this one is. May we be as bold in asking for what we need. May we be as brave in going out on limbs that are worth it. May we be as discerning in who we trust but willing to find points of connection with those […]

Your Bloom and Wilt

September 28, 2018 by Susie Morgan

“Honor your bloom. Trust your wilt. Each serves a purpose.” -Alex Elle Exhaustion, the urge to pull back, to pull away – we tend to see these as bad things, as symptoms. But what if it is more accurate to view them as information, valuable messages from our nervous system? They are our gut and […]

I Start Again

September 21, 2018 by Susie Morgan

“When I must, I start again.” -Alison Malee I have been thinking a lot lately about what it takes to “adult” well when we didn’t begin with a secure attachment – particularly how hard it can be without the guidance and wisdom and safety net that is part of having a secure attachment. There can […]

A Guiding Hand

September 17, 2018 by Susie Morgan

“Being an adult is like folding a fitted sheet.” -Maya Shetreat The last couple of weeks have been challenging, so I’ve had to prioritize other things over posting. Along with managing some other tough stuff, Sprout’s been waking up every couple hours at night – sooo uncomfortable with double ear infections, tummy aches, and lots […]

Bengal in Charge

September 2, 2018 by Susie Morgan

I’ve written in previous posts about how Jack has appointed himself Bengal-in-Charge-of-Secure-Attachment for our family. He took it to a whole new level at Sophie’s acupuncture appointment this week – checking the scores of her canine orthopedic index and what her tongue color could be indicating according to traditional Chinese Medicine!! It is this sort […]
