Becoming More Self-Aware

True self-awareness comes not from asking “Why?” but from asking “What?”—what can I do, what can I change, and what steps will move me forward?

Understanding Attachment Styles in Intimate Relationships

Dr. Christine reveals the surprising way childhood bonds shape your love life—whether secure, anxious, dismissive-avoidant, or fearful-avoidant—unpacking how these styles drive your emotions and relationships, and how you can rewrite the script for deeper, healthier connections.

Trauma-informed Living

o one gets through life unscathed by harm and trauma. We live in a world that is marred and broken. Nothing is truly as it has been written upon our hearts to be. At every step, we have learned. Something that distinguishes us from the rest of creation is the ability to project our learning to determine our next steps, to create, plan, and build our future. As we mature, what we’ve learned through extrinsic memory (those things we had to pay attention to and concentrate on to learn) tends to become aligned with our interests, curiosities, and passions. We pay attention to what is relevant, those things we believe will be useful and helpful and successful for us.

Whether it’s pouring your energy into work or hobbies, getting lost in an addiction, or simply not pursuing the gift like the treasure it was meant to be, shame drives these behaviors.
