![]() This left me feeling confused and like there was something wrong with me. No one (as in not one single person) has been able to support me in overcoming the intense nervous energy I sometimes experience when speaking in public or sharing in groups. "I came to Treasure Maps hoping to untangle a life-long, debilitating self-doubt and fear of public speaking. Wouldn’t it be great to really experience that? You can! But you are not your Tangle. You are a resourceful, resilient, flexible Self who can be in Presence with every aspect and part. You are not your Tangle – Inside a Tangle, it’s hard to access your full, aware, freely acting Self. All the Focusing in the world doesn’t help until you invite the missing player. Having a “map” lets you know what missing part to invite… so your inner work is effective and brings real change. When you can do this, you begin to get back your own life direction and your own resources.Įxiled parts play key roles – The key player in the Tangle may be an exiled part of you that you can’t feel or hear. Transformation and resolution come when you can be present to the stopped energy (and the pain of it) without falling in. There is some kind of trauma underneath – Underlying any Tangle is a “stoppage” of life forward energy – in other words, a trauma. But there is a way to shift outside of the Tangle so that new possibilities open up. Everything you try just keeps you even more stuck. Resolution is literally impossible at that level. Inside a Tangle, no road leads to freedom. But we found there is so much more to life than just not being addicted or not being depressed! That’s why we began to talk about finding a treasure map - because we found that the very places where life feels most painful and hard are the maps to more ease, flow, and connection… to fresh new possibilities that just weren’t there before. We found we had to share what we were discovering, raw as it was. But the questions that people asked us about their own problems and issues kept calling for answers out of our newest learnings. We thought our new discoveries could be kept to ourselves until we got a lot more sure about them. Somehow the urgency of it and the combination of our unique strengths resulted in our developing a new form of Focusing that did work to bring change in those most challenging, tangled life issues. #Shifty treasure map professional#We were both professional Focusing teachers… but years of Focusing (as we knew it then) had not helped us with our toughest issues – which seemed impossible to shift. It all started in 1994 when we happened to be confronted with our own most challenging life issues (addiction to alcohol and suicidal depression) just as we were about to teach three workshops together. ![]()
