This gentle method effectively allows us to create long lasting inner change even when there's resistance or other self help methods that haven't worked in the past. In this episode we dive into:- What is Core Transformation and how does it work- how having awareness is the first step to lasting change- understanding we are a sum of all different ‘parts'- Alina's journey from the corporate world to entrepreneurialism- how we measure success and self worth- states of our nervous system- how to guide yourself through Core TransformationPLUSWe talked about the private session that Alina and I did together before the show. She guided me through a CT session where we were focused on my habit of smoking/vaping weed. We got to the core state that that part of me desires, and I discussed with her my thoughts, feelings and behavioral changes after the session. It was the first time we talked about it and it was great to understand even further how this method positively affects our relationship with yourself.Alina also expresses the benefits of having a guide take you through these sessions but that they can also be self guided once you understand the process. She mentions a book that was written that allows you to guide yourself, you can check it out HERE.
