Aaron Talks

Welcome back. Have you struggled with having high expectations. Expecting something to look a certain way and then getting frustrated and feeling crumbled by what actually happens. 

I see this as perfectionistic thinking. Nothing is perfect what we can make it better. 

Have you thought about wondered how its effecting your relationships with others or your relationship with yourself ? 

I had a struggle with dropping perfection in my relationships, its a nasty virus in the brain. High expectations can ruin your perception of yourself or someone else. Perfection causes this limiting belief that “I’m not enough” or “I’m in adequate” because you’re constantly comparing yourself to others. It’s an endless chase and need to be approved and be loved by doing the “right” thing, or do what you “should” do. 

It all starts with awareness. We hold judgements towards ourselves, others, and our partners on what we think is the “right” way, or the way “it should be”.

But the only antidote for this is telling yourself the truth. Becoming aware of the head conversation thats happening. And, exposing the reality of the situation.  

The body is always telling us the truth. You can go without eating and tell yourself you’re not hungry, but at some point your body is going to speak and make a noise to let you know you’re hungry. 

So how is this showing up in your relationships? 

To help us take a look at how the body is always telling us the truth, I’ve brought my friend and body expert Melanie Joye Pherson to help us understand the tools we can use to acknowledge the truth and heal our wounds from the past. 

Melanie has been in body work for 10 years now. She helps people process and release pain, trauma, and structural imbalance with deep corrective pasha body work and neural emotional processing. In simple terms, She makes you think and feel better. 

Often we have traumas from the past or unconscious and subconscious patterns that hold us back from the kind of love and life we are looking for. 

So here we go talking about uncovering some of those emotional blockages.
