Session 3 = Beliefs & Core Wounds
Now that you’ve explored and written your vision, we’re going to look at anything that could be blocking or slowing down your vision. We’ll look specifically at what’s underneath your vision, and we’ll also explore the core wounds below through discussion, journaling, somatic work, and creating your own affirmations.
As you look through this list, pay attention to what feels relevant to you right now.
Trust that what you’re drawn to might be something that needs attention.
For each section, reflect on these questions as best you can —
What memories or impressions do I have of
a) the first time I felt this way (likely in childhood)
b) when this FIRST showed up in my creative path
c) any other significant times this showed up in my creative path

I know that this section can feel somewhat heavy, but rest assured there will be some levity afterward. After you’ve explored this, we will tap together on a significant memory, experience, or emotion together. Then, I’ll guide you to create your own set of affirmations that you can take with you through the next months.
