Sean’s Sobriety Journey with Alcohol & Cannabis

Our 3-month container commenced with a fire ceremony where a group of Sean-loving supporters gathered around him. Together, we tossed our intentions into the flames, letting go of what no longer serves us and calling in what we’re ready to embody more of. Ceremonies of this kind speak directly to the subconscious Soul and can support us in manifesting real change in our lives. We need more rights of passage, continually, in our lives to honor more of our entire being-ness, not just the parts that we think we are.

The whole point of working together isn’t necessarily becoming abstinent forever. It’s about cultivating more self-awareness so that we can make better choices that are aligned with our integrity and desires for our lives, not from reactivity or unconscious defense mechanisms.

Sean came to me wanting to explore his relationship with alcohol and cannabis - habits that were leading him down a dangerous road. He seemed to be protected by his big heart, his innocence, and his charismatic charm and, when he came into his first session with me, we both agreed that he was ready to up-level his relationship with self-love and the world.

After working together in a 3-month sobriety container, Sean was able to better manage his social anxiety, move his anger and emotions in a healthy way that didn’t harm himself or others, and keep his people-pleasing patterns in check by anchoring into his own inner-knowing to discover, communicate, and honor his own boundaries with himself and others, particularly in relation to substance and alcohol use.

Unconditional love is the healer, and in working with Sean towards his goals, this was paramount. By modeling self-love and loving, but fierce at times, boundaries, Sean grew to give himself the respect he deserves. We also grew to be closer friends throughout the process.

Thank you, Sean, for trusting me with your journey and, as is always the case, teaching me how to bring greater love to the parts of myself that you so warmly reflect.
