Resolutions

December 31, 2018 by Susie Morgan

“Honor the space between no longer and not yet.” – Nancy Levin I’m pretty unapologetically nerdy and spent my 18+ hours in the car this holiday season listening to recordings of the EMDR International Association’s annual conference. In one of the talks, Dr. Joan Borysenko mentioned this quote and spoke of the time one is […]

Lean Into the Breaking

December 7, 2018 by Susie Morgan

“Trust me, love, there will be heaven in the breaking. Just breathe, love, if it all ends you will begin.” -@GirlofCardigan When we begin to heal from developmental trauma and process memories, we must lean into the breaking – lean into the free fall into a future without the parents we’ve idealized like castles in the […]

Lionhearted

December 4, 2018 by Susie Morgan

Lionhearted (adj.)- Exceptionally brave or courageous I was struck today – as I am on so many days – by how much raw courage it takes to walk back into the darkness, grief, and terror of the past – so that it can be healed and actually finally feel like it is the past. Pushing […]

You Don’t Always See It

November 30, 2018 by Susie Morgan

“Maybe you don’t always see it, but you are always beautiful. Maybe when you are hurting, you don’t know how strong you are, but I’ve see you fight, and conquer your demons, and I know your heart is massive, your soul incredible. Even if you forget how much you’ve grown, I never will. I’ll always […]

An Endless Loop

November 27, 2018 by Susie Morgan

“The mind replays what the heart can’t delete.” -Yasmin Mogahed PTSD by definition means being trapped in the endless loop of what happened as it replays itself in cutting shards of memory, piercing emotions, and beliefs that shatter the core of the self. So of course, we do anything we can muster to not feel […]

Secure Attachments in Adults

November 26, 2018 by Susie Morgan

Secure attachment. It is so much more difficult to form secure attachments in our adult relationships, if we did not have this as little ones. Lionhearts, we can repair this!! We can learn to look at our little selves (who went through whatever they did) with loving eyes. And by becoming our own most secure […]

It’s Not A Dead End

November 21, 2018 by Susie Morgan

“The darkness is not a dead end… It’s a hallway.” -Emily McDowell Ah, Lionhearts, what if this is true? What if this darkness is not all we will see from now on – what if we are not trapped and powerless? What if – instead – the darkness is something we can move through – […]

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 […]
