I had such fun talking with Renie Anderson last week on the podcast, and we couldn’t help but continue the conversation and talk about a specific thing I hear a lot in discovery sessions with clients, and follow ups; the release, and then the pull-back of wanting to solve the problem.

Renie talked through with me what she thinks is happening when a new client pulls away after breaking down in the office.

We talked about:

• What happens when a new client tells me their story in an initial consultation — and then gets cold feet about continuing with the process
• Why committing to finding an answer — and then backing out before completing the process — is a common problem
• The problem of expecting a quick fix after decades of processing things a certain way
• Renie’s thoughts on why someone might not really want the answers, even if they think they do
• Why we need to connect to what the little kid inside of us is looking for
• How to sit with the discomfort of what we learn about how our body holds things
• Why self-soothing is the antidote to a nervous system in over-drive — and is always available to us
• Why meditation is not about peace and relaxation – and what its real purpose is
• Why curiosity is so essential in analyzing our own situation
• The pervasive problem of feeling we need to fix other people
