Adult Children of Alcoholics-You Can Heal: Life Coaching For Adult Children of Alcoholics--The Blessing It Is

Life Coaching For Adult Children of Alcoholics and Adults of The Dysfunctional Homes--The Blessing It Is

As a Life Coach for those from dysfunctional homes, including adult children of alcoholics, grandchildren of alcoholics, and those effected by dependencies and alike--I am always left feeling full of great amazement, as my clients are amongst the most courageous beings alive.

Many adult children of alcoholics, as well as those from dysfunctional homes live lives that are chaotic, out of control, exhausting, frustrating, and overwhelming. As their days drag on, they are bewildered by the onslaught of their internal mental chatter and the weight of others opinions, needs, and drama.

Those effected by dysfunctional childhood programming--as adults--are like moths to flames, as they seem to magically draw to them the most horrific nightly news broadcasts, the most disturbing office conversations, the most abrasive sales clerks, the most critical friends, employers, employees, gas station attendants and even lovers. It is as if ACoA's and alike, can never catch a break, and as if somehow they were destined to live their lives like insects caught in other people's emotional webs.

Being the Life Coach to adult children of alcoholics and to adults who are willing to confront their dysfunctional programming, is the most amazing gift ever, as each client is like a caterpillar when I first meet them, who has finally come to realize, that in order to heal--they must face the death of the old and surrender to a cocoon stage. As my clients learn to slow their old mental processes, and they begin to come to terms with 'why' they think the kinds of thoughts they do--and 'why' the emotions they 'feel' occur when they think a thought they think--in many ways they are saying goodbye to all they have ever known--in the hope, that one day they will learn to fly like the butterfly they were intended to be.

Adults who have been wounded, who willingly seek out professionals to help them navigate their way out of their emotional abyss--are quite literally HEROIC--as the road they have chosen is one that requires great amounts of courage--fortitude--tenacity--and focus. It is not an easy thing--to confront wounds you have forgotten long ago--and at same time not become even more weighed down by them--while at same time--struggle to keep your eye on the end goal.

It is my opinion that most beings alive today are asleep--and are living their lives on auto-pilot reacting to the thoughts they think--and are unaware that the thoughts they think--are not even their thoughts: They are the thoughts they were taught to believe in as truth by the programming and conditioning they were exposed to as children in dysfunctional homes. Adult children of alcoholics however, whom have chosen to confront the old, are rare beings who courageously have chosen to believe in something more--and have chosen to claim the right to be the creator of ones own destiny. It is a noble endeavor indeed.

To all my Life Coaching clients, and to all Adult Children of Alcoholics, to grandchildren of alcoholics, and to all those everywhere who were raised in dysfunctional homes everywhere--who are willing to begin the journey towards recovery--I honor you--I see you--and I uplift you--as you are in so many ways the bringers of the dawn.

Namaste...
