JJ Flizanes: Unraveling Core Wounds for Midlife Empowerment
Manage episode 448927440 series 3589797
Are you ready to get off of the “feelings treadmill” and start making real life changes with easy, actionable tools? Empowerment strategist JJ Flizanes has a path.
In this episode, Joelle and JJ discuss:
- What are core wounds?
- How to require psychological patterns
- Taking responsibility for one’s own emotions
- Meeting your own emotional needs
Key Takeaways:
- Core wound patterns are deeply rooted belief systems formed in early childhood that shape our subconscious needs, opinions, and beliefs, influencing our behavior and reactions despite being unaware of their existence.
- Rewiring broken psychological patterns requires identifying core wounds, emotional responses, and reaction patterns, catching triggers before spiraling, and desensitizing by understanding the wound-emotion-reaction process.
- Taking responsibility for emotions and experiences, rather than adopting a victim mentality, is crucial for personal growth. Identifying and labeling emotions precisely through tools like the "feelings list" aids in emotional regulation and understanding unmet needs.
- Meeting one's own emotional needs, rather than expecting others to fulfill them, is essential for midlife women and abuse survivors struggling with purpose and identity. Fear and negative emotions are natural responses but do not define an individual or signify failure; understanding this provides freedom and choice.
“Experience has brought us here today. There is no mistake, there was no randomness. This is all. It all makes sense. It all built on each other to get me to today, and I'm a person who believes that everything that we are today is very purposeful. If you don't know the purpose, we can just look back and figure it out.” - JJ Flizanes
