The Emotional Shadow Session

Your emotional well‑being is taking hits your relationships, your career, and your inner peace can’t keep absorbing. At some point, the cost of pushing through becomes too high—for you, for the people you care about, and for your future.

That’s why I created The Emotional Shadow Session—for those ready to see and move past the hidden forces of the shadow keeping them locked in place.

 

 

What: A virtual 90‑minute, one‑on‑one session designed to reveal the emotional fault lines silently and loudly sabotaging your current life, using the Emotional Shadow Inventory as our map.

Who This Is For: For the seekers who've read the books, done the work, and still feel like they're bracing for impact — if that's you, it's time to turn toward the emotional shadow you've been outrunning so you can finally exhale, trust yourself, and move through the world with real ease and confidence.

(If Debbie Ford's "The Dark Side of the Light Chasers" changed your life but you're still stuck in the same patterns, you're in the right place.)

The Shift: Make the invisible visible so you can hold it differently and evolve.

Pre-session: Before your session, you’ll complete the Emotional Shadow Inventory. You’ll receive your assessment link within 24 hours of scheduling, giving you time to complete it and helping us make the most of your Shadow Session.

Investment: $350 (includes a $299 assessment and the value of finally seeing what’s been keeping you locked in place—with clarity and intentional next steps for your emotional life? That’s priceless.)

What this session is about:

You’re tired.

You’ve done the trainings, read the books, maybe even led the wellness initiatives—yet the same emotional bruises keep showing up at work and at home. The Shadow Session is where you stop “pushing through” and start seeing the hidden dynamics that keep driving the same overwork, friction, and noise in your system.

It’s time to pinpoint the patterns.

Using your Emotional Shadow Inventory results as our guide, we’ll pinpoint the patterns quietly running for years—people‑pleasing, over‑functioning, simmering resentment, emotional withdrawal—and trace how they silently shape your boundaries, your relationships, and your life.

Instead of another abstract insight, you leave with language for what’s really happening, and a clear starting point for supporting your emotional health before the toll gets any higher.

The good news? There's a different approach—and we're here to explore it together.

Recent research shows that chronic strain from the emotional shadow doesn’t just make people feel bad—it erodes judgment, creativity, and the capacity to connect and collaborate with others. When our emotional tank is running on empty, we default to old survival patterns that keep us controlling, bracing, blaming, or checking out, even when we “know better”.

Most high performers respond by pushing harder or adding another tool to the pile.

But without addressing the shadow patterns underneath—those automatic, protective reactions—nothing truly changes, and the emotional toll keeps spilling into work, relationships, and health.

The Emotional Shadow Session gives you a structured, research‑informed way to see those patterns clearly and begin shifting them, so your emotional health can finally support the life you’re trying to buildinstead of constantly absorbing the hits.

The Emotional Shadow Session

From Assessment to Action

In this 90‑minute, one‑on‑one virtual session, we use your Emotional Shadow Inventory results to make sense of the hidden forces at play that make you wonder what you are doing wrong. The answer: nothing.

You’ll see how old survival strategies are still running the show and begin replacing them with responses that actually support your energy, clarity, and peace of mind.

Perfect if you’re ready to stop ‘pushing through,’ understand what’s really going on, and have a skilled guide walk you through it in one focused session.

What This Session Delivers

For You:
