Today, I want to focus on the paradigm of superhuman compulsion. This socially esteemed and normalized way of operating that often requires us to neglect our need for rest, sleep, connection, play and self-care in order to sustain our self-image of being competent, valuable, and responsible.These pressures whisk us away on a roller-coaster ride of highs and lows — one day we feel accomplished, successful, and worthy, and a day later, we collapse into depression, unworthiness and feelings of self-doubt and failure. Episode Notes:Anne-Marie MarronArticle: The Superhuman Compulsion by Anne-Marie Marron, click here. If you have a power reclamation story to share or questions, please send them to Ask Anne-Marie.If you want to learn more about my work you can visit my websites:Power reclamation guide and somatic healing: www.anne-mariemarron.comLeadership coach and organizational-culture consultant: www.revealingwisdom.comFind Anne-Marie on InstagramIf you wonder whether Power Reclamation Coaching is for you, book a discovery call here

It sounds easy to say, "welcome everything", but if you've tried, you'll know how many protectors and iron gates come down when circumstances that we don't like capture our attention or threaten our sense of power, safety and connection.It takes immense courage and consciousness to embark on this deep level of integration and healing.   There is great power gained by learning to welcome our shadows and messiness.   Resources from the episode:1.
