Those beliefs about not being good enough, about being wrong, about being bad – they have to be in our consciousness in order to be triggered. We have to believe them or they won’t get triggered.
So, the one who seems to be triggering them? They’re actually doing us a favor.
Because when those things get triggered, that’s a healing opportunity.
And that’s a big part of what my Programs are about – not missing the opportunities for healing anymore.
Taking those trigger moments and squeezing every last bit of healing out of them.
So that we don’t have to keep going through the same triggers.
So that we don’t have to be living in fear and worry and doubt about when they’ll show up again.
The triggers can actually heal and be gone.
Just like a burn or a cut or a mosquito bite. Once they heal, they’re gone. I can’t even remember exactly where they were.
They were there. They were really bothering me.
But they’re not bothering me anymore because they are totally healed. No trace of them.
And that’s what can happen with the guilt and the shame.
We have to be 100% willing.
When the shame feelings come up – that feeling of guilt – don’t tolerate it. Don’t try to drown it out.
Offer it to the Holy Spirit for healing.
I’m telling you, it works. It works, it works.
It’s so valuable. It’s so important.
Think of the Holy Spirit as the fire department.
Putting out the fires of our pain.
When those alarms go off, that feeling of shame,
that feeling of guilt – danger, danger, danger.
Core meltdown occurring.
Call for help.
“Help me now. Help me now. Help me now.”
That’s going the other way. That’s turning it over.
And it works.
A Course in Miracles teaches us that anything we don’t want, if it disturbs our peace and we don’t want that disturbance anymore, it will be removed from our consciousness by the Higher Holy Spirit Self if we’re willing – if not, it sticks and stays.
The only thing that keeps it in place is our interest in it, our identification with it.
In my Masterful Living Program, we learn to use every trigger as a healing opportunity and free ourselves from the past.

SATURDAY – Accountability With Self-Love Workshop, a Deep Dive Workshop on Saturday, January 17. How to hold yourself accountable in a loving and supportive way so that you follow through on the expansive vision for your precious life of Love and don’t let your vision fall by the wayside.
LATEST ACIM PODCAST EPISODE: Accountability Is My Power Tool. What if the very thing you’ve been avoiding is actually your greatest spiritual power tool? In this episode, I explore a word that doesn’t even appear in A Course in Miracles — accountability — and uncover its surprising connection to what the Course calls the second characteristic of God’s teachers. I share why most of us are already consistent… just in the wrong direction. And I reveal the three-legged stool that transformed my practice from oscillating chaos to grounded peace. I get honest about years of being “consistent in judging, attacking, complaining, worrying” and what finally shifted. I tell the story of Susie’s birthday party — and the meaning I made for years that turned out to be completely wrong. Plus, a real-time demonstration of what it looks like to feel invulnerable when life throws a curveball. If you’ve ever felt knocked off balance by the “windstorm” of life, come join me. There’s a better way.
