Have you ever said “yes” to something you didn’t want, or pushed away love and connection even when you truly desired them? This common struggle often ties back to emotional wounds, mostly from our childhood relationships with our parents.
We crave success in relationships, work, and life, but we often pull back when we’re on the verge of achieving or receiving what we want. This unconscious reaction is driven by fear of the unknown, rooted in past experiences. Though we long for fulfillment, self-sabotage gets in the way. It can feel as if something outside us is blocking our progress, but it’s actually the tension of emotional self-repression stored in our bodies.
Think of Sex and the City’s Carrie Bradshaw. Whenever she gets close to happiness with someone like Aiden, who truly loves, cares for, and is committed to her, her fears push her to sabotage the relationship. Mr. Big, too, pulls away when things get too intimate.
Carrie’s emotional pattern stems from unresolved trauma—her father left when she was young, and that abandonment continues to show up in her relationships. At one point, even Carrie asks herself, “Why do I keep doing this to myself? I must be a masochist.”
Like Carrie, many of us repeat unconscious patterns that block us from fully receiving love or success. Somatic inquiry, such as the Kiloby Inquiries, helps us uncover and release these patterns by focusing on the sensations held in the body.
This work empowers you to set healthy boundaries—saying “no” when needed—and helps you fully embrace the love and connection you deserve. People who engage in this process often feel more empowered and free in their relationships and lives.
If this resonates with you, I’m here to support you on this journey.
Warmly,
Serena
