I’m so excited to share another episode of Unprocessed with you.
Today’s conversation is with Heather Elliott, founder of Mindful Change and creator of 5D Psychology. Heather trained in traditional psychology and spent years as a teacher before stepping away to follow a different path, one that looks beneath the surface of our thoughts and emotions to understand the beliefs that are actually shaping our lives.
I had a session with Heather before we recorded this conversation, and it stayed with me. There’s something about the way she works that gets underneath the story you think you’re dealing with and starts asking a much deeper question: what is the belief underneath it?
In this conversation, we go deep into the conditioning we pick up from our parents, our families, school, and society, and how those voices can quietly become the stories we carry around with us. Heather explains how emotions can be the surface of something much deeper, and why changing the underlying belief can change the pattern itself.
We talk about why people can spend years trying to understand themselves and still find themselves repeating the same patterns, the difference between knowing your story and actually changing it, and the strategies we develop to protect beliefs about ourselves that may no longer serve us.
There are some pretty big questions in this one. What if the things limiting us aren’t actually who we are? What if so much of what we believe about ourselves was learned before we were old enough to question it?
Heather is a badass, deeply thoughtful, and just so cool. I loved this conversation, and I think there’s a lot in here to sit with.
