Understanding and Breaking Emotional Patterns with Psychologist Marissa Alexander

Hi friends, it’s Erica! 

We’re back with another deep-dive episode that'll make you rethink the roots of your emotional challenges and relationship patterns. In the latest episode of The Crazy Ex-Wives Club, we welcomed Dr. Marissa Alexander, a seasoned psychologist and relationship specialist, to dive into the complex yet crucial realm of personal healing and emotional processing. Dr. Alexander, who has nearly two decades of experience, brings a wealth of knowledge about how unresolved childhood wounds can wreak havoc on adult relationships. Together, we unravel the intricate dance between body and mind and how to foster true emotional healing.

Here are three key takeaways from our conversation:

• Listen to Your Body: Everyone is different but you may experience physical sensations (like a pinch in the ribcage) and these are body signals and important cues for emotional processing.
• Healing in Manageable Steps: Facing emotional challenges alone can be overwhelming. Dr. Alexander advocates for expert support. 
• Recognize and Break Patterns: Dive deep into how childhood wounds manifest in your adult relationships and learn practical steps from Dr. Alexander for self-awareness, breaking long-standing patterns, and healing deep-seated wounds.

We will wrap today’s blog up with this reminder: emotional healing is a gradual process that necessitates self-compassion, understanding, and sometimes, professional support. We want to stress the importance of not embarking on this journey alone and leveraging the expertise available to you! 

Xoxo, erica
