This One Thing Changed Everything for Me Like most of you family comes first in my world. If my sister calls, I answer

the phone. When my son needs me I wake up in the middle of night and sense it and pack my bag and drive 4 hrs to make sure he is ok. When my husband calls "Jen" I immediately go to him. I am an Eight on the Enneagram—AKA a fierce and mighty warrior for good. Here is the thing with Eights, we strong and can carry the load for our families. We are amazing leaders and bosses. We love our people hard. And….here is a dirty little secret about Eights that most will not share, we are also soft and vulnerable on the inside. When those vulnerable parts get triggered it can look like a full-blown $h!t show. I have equated it to The Incredible Hulk.

Remember the 1978 TV series where Dr. David Banner travels across the country
helping/healing others while trying to hide his secret i.e. his shadow parts. When he is
triggered he transforms into a scary strong green creature.
He also was a fierce warrior for good. He was always trying to find new ways to help
others and to cure himself.
We have multiple personalities! I am not referring to just eights on the Enneagram but
all of us. We are multiplicity.
You know when you say, “part of me wants to go but part of me wants to stay.” We have
many parts. Parts are triggered when they get frightened.
And, that is exactly what happened to me 3 weeks ago in the Emergency Room! My
husband woke up and felt dizzy. He got sick, so I took him to the ER where they
promptly took him back and had security guards holding me back from going due to
Covid restrictions.
My hulk was triggered!
I sat waiting 11 hrs without knowing what was going on inside that hospital. Eventually
they called to report he'd had a stroke and would be admitted to the hospital, but due to
the high rate of admissions due to Covid there were no beds. So he spent 48 hrs on a
gerny in the ER. (GET YOUR VACCINATION!)
Again, my hulk was triggered.
Two days later he was home and trying to figure everything out. He was scared and still
very sick. He lashed out at me a couple times.
Again, my hulk was triggered.
The past three weeks have been nothing less than extremely stressful for my family.
And, even though I have obviously been triggered, I have yet to turn green!

You want to know how I have soothed myself during moments filled with anxiety and
fear?
You want to know how I have been able to carry out the daily task without even so much
as raising my voice at anyone?
I used IFS wrapped in the wisdom of the Enneagram.
What is IFS? Internal Family Systems is a way to understand all those Parts!
IFS helps you identify the parts that are triggered and recognize it is not the true Self. It
is instead an invitation for greater emotional freedom!
IFS helps you lead yourSelf rather being reactive in situations that provoke fear and
anxiety.
I want to share these tools with you so that you too can stay in Self Leadership
and not become ReActive when life happens.
I have a course coming out soon to help you with this. Stay tuned for more details soon.
In the meantime, if you or someone you know is struggling with anxiety, depression, or
habits that are sabotaging, I can help!

I do not know enough adjectives to say how incredible Jennifer is. I hate to repeat
myself but she "gets it" and has a tremendous calming effect on me. 8/24/21
Jennifer continues to help me and I am so thankful that I am able to work with her.
She is a superb listener and before I am finished speaking she has gotten to the
gist of the matter and is able to put me on the proper path. Working with her is
invaluable…… 8/21/21
Jennifer is awesome. I am only sorry we were not able to have a longer session
this time. She is an excellent listener and you can see the wheels moving when
she is listening. And, as soon as I am done talking she is right in my face with
what I need to hear. It doesn't get better than that……8/12/21
Pure Awesomeness 8/04/21
Jennifer is exceptional and always makes me think about things in a different,
more productive manner. She continues to help me look at my life in a better way.
I could not have a better therapist! 8/1/21

I have not know Jennifer for a long time, yet I feel like I have known her forever.
She is very easy to talk to, she is an excellent listener and, even in our very short
time together, she has opened my eyes to new and relevant information about
myself. It does not get better than that….7/22/21
Jennifer got right to it and helped me see what was going on behind the scenes in
my mind from the first session. I'm looking forward to continued work with her.

I felt like she heard me and my struggles. Working on a plan and doing the work
to get myself to a better place. 6/12/21
