“What If You Could Stop Replaying That Hurtful Memory and Finally Let It Go?”

Ever feel like your emotions are running the show, leaving you reacting, retreating, or reaching for something to numb the discomfort?

Some people shut down completely, hiding behind logic or busyness while feeling emotionally empty. Others feel so deeply they’re exhausted, overwhelmed, and unsure how to turn the intensity off.

Then there are those moments. Like walking out the door in frustration just to avoid a conversation, or grabbing something sweet not out of hunger but to soothe the internal storm.

You’re not broken. You just need a better way to process. One woman I work with felt she didn’t belong in her own family. Her hurt ran so deep she built strong emotional walls. Her armor? Anger. But through our work together, she discovered something else underneath the rage. Pain. Sadness. Grief.

She didn’t want to keep projecting her past into her future. And with the COURAGE METHOD she found a way to be fully honest on the page first so she could let go, feel her truth, and step into something stronger than anger. Clarity.

Another client found herself storming out of her house almost daily, fleeing the emotional tension of a family member living in her space. Her escape? The fast-food drive-thru, and often a convenience store for candy. 

But we both knew it wasn’t about the food, the snacks. That was just the symptom. Using the COURAGE METHOD, she was able to release the frustration on the page and uncover what she really needed. Emotional boundaries, not sugar, nor fatty snacks. True internal peace, not just temporary escape.

WHAT IS THE COURAGE METHOD?

I created the COURAGE METHOD because I know what it’s like to feel something so deeply and still wonder, ‘How do I even let this go?’ I wanted you to have a safe space, a real process to help you face what you’re feeling, be honest with yourself, and finally feel free. 

This method is about interrupting the emotional loop, getting to the root, and reclaiming control. Unlike free-form journaling that leaves you lost in a swirl of thoughts, the COURAGE METHOD is guided, structured, and healing. It walks you through emotional honesty into empowered decision-making. You can also consider ripping it from your journal when you're complete and burning it, like Native American traditions do. Giving it back to a higher power is freeing. 

How It Works

🔹 Left Side: DUMP IT
Write it all. The mess. The hurt. The frustration. Unfiltered.
Prompts:
“I can’t do it because…”
“I’m worried about…”
“The story I’m telling myself is…”

🔹 Mindful Pause
Set a 3 minute timer. Breathe deeply. Repeat: “I’m okay.” Let your nervous system recalibrate.

🔹 Right Side: CHOOSE IT
This is your moment of courage. You’ve released the old. Now choose the new.
Prompts:
“What does my courage choose?”
“What would my higher self say?"
“What does God say?”

"Who do I want to be in this?" 

Whether you find yourself shutting down or reacting with intensity, the answer isn’t to suppress your emotions or to let them run wild. The solution is to process them in a way that heals, liberates, and redirects.

That’s what I help my clients do through growth coaching and hypnosis using tools like the COURAGE METHOD to create emotional intelligence that drives real results.
