An Invitation to Substack From Here on Out
A Continuation of Resources on Substack: The Secure Effect
Over the last 6 months, I have be writing on Substack. I created a community called “The Secure Effect.” Each month’s writings and resources are centered around a key relationship theme and readers are invited to explore free tools, free meditations, free blogs, and free videos from me about healthy relating, secure attachment, and how to become more aware, awake, and alive within our bodies. I believe deeply in the role of our nervous system and the flow of energy through out bodies. When we are un-attuned to our emotional signals, energy gets stagnant and shows up as depression, fatigue, pain, irritation, relational chaos, projection, anxiety, weight fluctuations, illness, and more. This community is filled with the heart and soul of my work. Everything is contained in this work of art in my Substack platform. If you feel called toward a deeper relationship with yourself and deeper relationships with others, you are more than welcome here.
i haven't been fully in alignment in my work
As I channel my work into the container of The Secure Effect, I feel called to share this is a message of vulnerability. For the last 5 years of working with clients through traditional therapy and then through Guide to Be, I have been trying to find my “approach.” I have been showing up for clients more-and-more authentically and in alignment with how I feel healing happens:
When I am fully authentic and real so it feels less transactional and more human,
When they feel the autonomy to co-create the space with me and advocate for themselves (when I provide what their core wound has lacked), and
When we make it less “talk” and more somatic, nervous system, inner child based so that true restructuring in the subconscious patterning can happen and energy that has suppressed can move
However, I have been denying a few large aspects of how I believe this healing happens. First, in times where I didn’t know how to serve, I tried to sell a fast-track approach. While I do believe my approach gets to the root patterns of what is mis-aligned, I know deep down my work is meant to be slow, safe, and personal — not fast and rushed. Healing doesn’t happen under pressure. Secondly, I know in my heart and soul, healing happens in relationship. Not just in the relationship between me and my client… but in community.
I will continue to do 1:1 work in intensive style formats for The Relationship Audit and The Guide to Be Membership. However, Guide to Be will now be serving primarily through group containers.
With that being said…
INTRODUCING…
BE WITHIN: WOMENS SOMATIC + SECURE EXPRESSION CONTAINER
Be WITHIN is a 10-week women’s space for 8 women devoted to expanding nervous system capacity so she can feel, express, and embody the full range of her emotions and desires. Together, we gently reconnect within to the parts of self that were once abandoned for safety, love, or belonging.
BE WITH: CO-ED ATTACHMENT + AUTHENTIC RELATING CONTAINER
BE WITH is a 10-week space for 10 individuals, men and women, to learn the skills of healthy, conscious connection. Through the lens of attachment wounds and feminine and masculine patterning, we practice how to truly be with another—without fixing, projecting, blaming, or judging.
These groups are intimate in size so that I can hold space for each individual and that the group can cultivate a safe, trauma-aware, and heart-felt connection. Each group has 5 group calls, along with 2.5 hours of 1:1 sessions with Rachel directly.
Learn more about BE WITHIN and BE WITH, here. If this calls to you, submit your initial interest application and I will be in touch soon!
& don't forget, if you aren't already subscribed to my free weekly blogs and resources through The Secure Effect — each month is centered around a different relationship theme and its completely FREE. Subscribe and access the content here!
I invite myself and I invite you back home: where desire is possible, emotions flow with love, and relationship feels safe, sacred, and secure. For those who are pulled, I look forward to chatting with you.
