“You want to spread love and freedom in our world. But the more you reach for understanding, connection or growth, the more they argue, defend themselves and pull away. And, even though you know better, you still find yourself trapped in dysfunctional power struggles that you’ve been trying to get free from for a long time. Why don’t they listen? Why can’t they see what is so obvious to you? What’s getting in the way of the connection you want?”—www.yvetteerasmus.com
Now on #LITA is Dr. Yvette Erasmus! Yvette works with groups, couples, individuals, leaders and organizations. She puts an emphasis on personal inner work to create a just and peaceful world where everyone’s needs matter. She helps you learn ways to stop sabotaging yourself and your relationships. The “About” Page of her website sums it up best:
It’s time for a change, and it starts with you.
I am here to help you connect the dots, find the missing links, heal the hurts, and deeply understand yourself and others so you can move forward with clarity, empowerment and love.
It’s time to step into your inner authority and to act from your most authentic, aware and empowered self.”
I got so much out of my conversation with Yvette and I think you will too. We talked about what it was like growing up in South Africa with two parents, each on opposite sides of the apartheid issue. We also discuss trauma and its impact on our lives and our relationships. You’ll hear us talk about anger and other negative emotions and what they mean. How we use ‘violent’ tactics like fear of consequences and promise of rewards to manipulate others into doing what we want.
We don’t just talk about problems and challenges. We also talk about solutions. Yvette gives practical ideas to living our best lives and having deep, meaningful relationships with others.
