Healing Experiences with Tammy Cho

Parenting children is definitely one of the hardest challenges that we can face in life. But as challenging as that is, it is nothing compared to reparenting your inner child. Some of you might be familiar with that turn of phrase. It refers to the process of dealing with childhood trauma, and “short-falls” in the manner in which you were parented in the first place, especially in relation to nurturing, support, care, and emotional safety that may have been missing. 

While re-parenting refers to a particular therapeutic approach, dealing with the effects of trauma is something that many, if not most, people share. And the impact that this can have on our lives can be multifaceted and complex. If you have ever gone to any recovery programs, you will know that the behavior being dealt with is only the symptom of the problem, and not the source of it. There are deeper challenges people are facing. After all, what sank the Titanic was not the ice that was visible, but the ice that was beneath the surface.

Perhaps it is not surprising that we’ve had a number of guests that are working with people in varying capacities to improve themselves, their lives, and their relationships with others. I do think that it is in some ways a Gen X thing. There is a desire to do better and be better, feel better, without the tools with which to carry that out. Thus, we have an idea of where we want to go but no clear idea of how to get there. It is hard to build a birdhouse without any tools or knowledge how to use them. You can give it a go, but the outcome is likely to be frustrating and not great quality.

On today’s show, we welcome  Tammy Cho to the studio. Tammy had over 20 years of experience as a nurse, but in line with the common expression, she was having a hard time healing herself. A visit to the emergency room to deal with chest pains and heart palpitations led her to re-evaluate her life and how she was dealing with her trauma. 

Out of this process, Tammy developed what she calls Energy Leadership and Self-Love mentoring. Part of this involves slowing down and reconnecting with ourselves. This can be a scary proposition when we are not sure what we might find, or if we will like what we discover when we do. When we stop pushing ourselves away, we can rediscover who we are and accept the gifts that we possess. In her definition, human design is about self-intimacy, self-empowerment, and self-acceptance. By doing so, not only do we change our relationship with ourselves, but also with those around us whether they be friends, family members, co-workers, or those we are managing professionally.
