In this episode, the self-development coach Johnny Lawrence speaks with Sarah Gregg and Jill Ritchie, founders of the Intuitive Psychology Association. They discuss their personal journeys in self-development and the creation of their organisation. They explain that intuitive psychology combines intuition and psychology to help individuals connect with their inner guidance and heal. They emphasise the importance of working with the shadow, which represents the hidden aspects of ourselves, and how bringing these aspects into awareness can lead to personal growth and transformation. In this conversation, Jill Ritchie and Sarah Gregg discuss the importance of shadow and inner child work for personal growth and healing. They explain how un-layering and exploring the shadow can lead to wholeness and essence. They emphasise the need to address the illusion of external goals and the importance of aligning intentions with actions. Jill and Sarah also highlight common scenarios where shadow work is beneficial, such as overcoming self-sabotage and aligning actions with health goals. They discuss the connection between inner child work and shadow work, emphasising the role of childhood experiences in shaping our beliefs and behaviours. They address resistance to shadow work and provide strategies for starting small and building momentum. They emphasise the value of negative emotions and the opportunity for growth and learning they provide. The conversation concludes with recommendations for resources and books on shadow work and inner child work.
