You are going to learn so much from this episode!! And get to listen to a live demo of Dr Schwartz doing parts work with me.&nbsp; Richard Schwartz began his career as a family therapist and an academic at the University of Illinois at Chicago. There he discovered that family therapy alone did not achieve full symptom relief and in asking patients why, he learned that they were plagued by what they called “parts.” From these explorations with parts work, the Internal Family Systems (IFS) model was born in the early 1980s. &nbsp; IFS is now evidence-based and has become a widely-used form of psychotherapy, particularly with trauma. It provides a non-pathologizing, optimistic, and empowering perspective and a practical and effective set of techniques for working with individuals, couples, families, and more recently, corporations and classrooms. &nbsp; In 2013 Schwartz left the Chicago area and now lives in Brookline, MA where he is on the faculty of the Department of Psychiatry at Harvard Medical School.

CC: Are You a High-Functioning Co-Dependent? with Terri Cole

In this powerful and emotionally honest session, Christine coaches Tiffany—a gifted, intuitive woman who’s been living inside the identity of caretaker, rescuer, and savior. As someone raised in a family marked by addiction, loss, and emotional chaos, Tiffany learned early on to take responsibility for others’ well-being, often at the expense of her own. Now, with a brother spiraling and a deep longing to create a family of her own, Tiffany finds herself stuck in an exhausting cycle of overgiving, people-pleasing, and spiritual burnout. Christine gently but firmly guides her toward a redefinition of love—one that includes boundaries, dignity, and surrender, not depletion. This episode speaks to every empath, helper, or healer who struggles with giving too much, confusing martyrdom with love, and forgetting their own needs in service of saving others. Consider/Ask Yourself:  Do you feel responsible for other people’s healing, happiness, or choices? Have you been confusing helping with over-giving—or love with martyrdom? Are you exhausted from trying to fix or save others who haven’t asked for your support? What might open up for you if you believed that everyone is on their own soul path—and you don’t have to intervene?  Key Insights and A-HAs:  Being the “savior” is often a survival role rooted in early identity confusion—not your true purpose. There’s a sacred difference between being of service and being responsible for others. You can give people the dignity of their own process—and that is its own act of love. God/Source never asks you to deplete yourself in the name of love. When you stop over-giving, you make space for reciprocal love, rest, and your rightful life.  How to Deepen the Work:  Reflect on this mantra: “I no longer rob others of the dignity of their own process.” Get honest about where you’re still playing the role of rescuer—and release it with compassion. Reorient your energy through prayer, meditation, or spiritual practices that restore you. Redefine your non-negotiables in relationships, especially around addiction, boundaries, and reciprocity. Begin to build a new identity: one rooted in self-trust, clear agreements, and spiritual alignment—not sacrifice. &nbsp;  Upcoming Event: The San Diego Women’s Retreat (Oct. 17–19, 2025)If this episode resonated, you’re invited to Christine’s signature women’s retreat—a high-frequency, transformational experience designed to reconnect you with your truth, your joy, and your courage. Whether you’re in a season of rebuilding or simply seeking maintenance for your soul, this retreat offers intentional support and sacred community. Early bird discount ending soon.

EP 504: Stop Being the Savior with Tiffany

In this powerful coaching session, Christine supports Tessa, a psychic medium navigating the challenges of fully owning her intuitive gifts after leaving a successful engineering career. While her spiritual sensitivity has deepened, she still struggles with confidence, financial consistency, and the fear of stepping fully into her calling. Christine helps Tessa uncover how early life choices for safety and belonging influenced her path, why money is a sacred energetic exchange, and how to embrace confidence without falling into imposter syndrome. This session is especially resonant for anyone who has felt torn between a “practical” career and their true soul path—or who has struggled with feeling “too sensitive” in a world that doesn’t always honor intuitive gifts. If you’ve ever wrestled with worthiness, worried about what others think, or hesitated to fully embody your calling, this episode will encourage you to claim your gifts with reverence, confidence, and joy. Consider / Ask Yourself:  Do you minimize your intuitive or spiritual gifts out of fear of judgment? Were you rewarded as a child more for achievement than creativity or sensitivity? Do you toggle between wanting safety (financial or social) and wanting to live your truth? Is your sensitivity something you see as a liability rather than a blessing?  Key Insights and A-HAs:  True confidence is radical self-acceptance, not arrogance. Sensitivity is not a liability—it’s a sacred strength when embraced. Financial abundance can flow through spiritual work when we claim it as valid and worthy. Belonging and validation from old systems (titles, achievements) can hold us back from owning our deeper callings. Spiritual gifts don’t have to come with a cost—you don’t need to “pay penance” for being gifted.  How to Deepen the Work:  Reflect on any early decisions you made to “fit in” and how they may still shape your choices. Reframe your sensitivity as spiritual hygiene, not a burden. Write and repeat affirmations claiming your gifts as part of your life’s is-ness (e.g., “I make an abundant living through my spiritual gifts”). Notice when imposter syndrome shows up and remind yourself that reverence and humility are different from self-doubt. Normalize taking breaks, grounding, and nervous system care without making it a “big deal.”  Upcoming Events: Christine’s Women’s Retreat is happening October 17–19, 2025. This immersive experience is designed to help you step out of your head, into your body, and reclaim your intuitive power. By the end of the retreat, women report profound clarity, spiritual awakenings, and a deep reconnection to their inner wisdom.

243 Smile with a Wiggle!

We all have issues or problems in our lives we need to overcome and heal. What things do you believe to be your biggest issues? The key to healing is how we relate to the issue. We can choose to be a victim and allow shame and judgment to rule our lives or we can choose to hang on to our issue because it makes us feel special or gets us attention. We can also choose to believe our problem is insurmountable and even though we feel we have tried everything to get over it, we think we never can.&nbsp; Today’s caller, Jeanette, is feeling she is not enough and she struggles with an eating disorder she adopted in her early teens. She craves acceptance from her family because she has a low acceptance of herself. If there is something you are doing to get love and acceptance or helps you to fit into your family, you WILL have a hard time letting it go. You may have a fear of being authentically you because you worry other people will judge or make fun of you. Remember, we teach people how to treat us. If we continue to show up as a victim or play into the pattern, people will continue to see and treat us accordingly. If someone isn’t in a loving, open-minded relationship with themselves, they will not be loving and open-minded with you. Not everyone is on the personal growth journey that you are on. Give the people you love the dignity of their own process. If you want or need to hear something, look into your own eyes and say it to yourself. Be you, step out of your box and don’t take things personally. &nbsp; I am very excited to share an update about my new video course. I am putting together all of my best tools and resources for you. The first video is coming out in October and it will focus on acceptance, because acceptance is the first law of spirit. My gift to you is to be on the list for the first announcement and for the early bird discount. Visit ChristineHassler.com/VIPlist to sign up. &nbsp; Consider/Ask Yourself: ● Is there something you have been carrying around for years you just can’t seem to heal? ● Do you keep trying to change and to heal yourself but nothing ever shifts? ● Do you feel like your family or friends look at you through the eyes of your issue? ● Is an eating disorder or a body image issue something you struggle with?&nbsp; &nbsp; Jeanette's Question: Jeanette wants to know how to overcome her feelings of not being enough and an eating disorder she has had since she was 14. &nbsp; Jeanette's Key Insights and Aha’s: ● She feels stuck where she is ● She is contributing to the way others see and perceive her ● She wants to be seen, loved and accepted ● She feels she will be put down if she shares her true feelings ● She is on a journey of awakening ● She needs to free herself from her emotional weight &nbsp; How to get over it and on with it: ● She should move fully into acceptance ● She should find her voice and speak her truth ● She should say, “I accept myself and I love myself unconditionally”, every day ● She should write a letter to her mom and her sister, she will never send &nbsp; Assignments and Takeaways: ● Look into your own eyes and say the things to yourself you long to hear from others. ● Write a letter (you will not send) to get your feelings out and to arrive at the completion of the issue and the pattern. Use these sentence stems: ○ I’m mad because ○ I’m sad because ○ I wish ○ I learned ○ I forgive you for ○ I forgive myself for ○ Thank you for ○ Why I am letting this go ● Be mindful of using the word ‘trying’. ● Make a voice memo of what you want to embody and listen to it every day. &nbsp; Sponsor: Onnit Wellness - Receive a 10% discount on your purchase when you order through this link.
