00:00:04.020 --> 00:00:12.210
Emily Eldredge | ChangeLight: hello, and welcome to Inner Work for Greater Good, my name is Emily Eldredge I am the founder of ChangeLight.
2
00:00:12.719 --> 00:00:19.890
Emily Eldredge | ChangeLight: And the creator of the ChangeLight System where I teach change makers, how to do their inner work.
3
00:00:20.220 --> 00:00:29.940
Emily Eldredge | ChangeLight: That accelerates their power to change the world there are a lot of reasons why I do this work, I know, sometimes I repeat myself on this, but I think it's really, really important to really.
4
00:00:30.480 --> 00:00:35.760
Emily Eldredge | ChangeLight: emphasize the importance of inner work when it comes to making a difference in the world, especially since.
5
00:00:36.000 --> 00:00:39.900
Emily Eldredge | ChangeLight: A lot of times as change makers, we think we can just charge out there and.
6
00:00:40.140 --> 00:00:47.820
Emily Eldredge | ChangeLight: You know fulfill our mission and try to make a difference, but what i've actually found in my work with change makers is that every time i've shared my.
7
00:00:48.030 --> 00:00:54.990
Emily Eldredge | ChangeLight: My work in with audiences of change makers and I shared it all over the world, I always have changed makers who come to me afterwards.
8
00:00:55.260 --> 00:01:05.130
Emily Eldredge | ChangeLight: And they say oh my gosh I never realized how much I was struggling with X, Y or Z or oh my gosh I have so much trauma from this situation in my life, and I really need your help.
9
00:01:05.490 --> 00:01:16.140
Emily Eldredge | ChangeLight: And so that's where I realized, you know that a lot of people really are they it's one thing to have a vision and have an idea and have a mission and say, this is the purpose i'm here to serve.
10
00:01:16.530 --> 00:01:26.280
Emily Eldredge | ChangeLight: But it's another thing entirely to really feel that inner freedom and clarity and just just feeling so unencumbered.
11
00:01:26.550 --> 00:01:34.020
Emily Eldredge | ChangeLight: And to let that drive that's coming through to really truly empower you to make a difference, without the insecurities.
12
00:01:34.230 --> 00:01:38.520
Emily Eldredge | ChangeLight: And the inner blocks or the triggers or even the inner saboteurs a lot of us have these.
13
00:01:38.760 --> 00:01:47.430
Emily Eldredge | ChangeLight: Inner saboteurs that get in the way, so no matter how strong our driver our vision is those inner saboteurs can really cause some problems and make it really, really hard.
14
00:01:47.670 --> 00:01:58.770
Emily Eldredge | ChangeLight: To make a difference in the highest way possible so that's what i'm all about, and also my my ultimate mission is to by teaching change makers Inner Work for Greater Good.
15
00:01:59.040 --> 00:02:12.540
Emily Eldredge | ChangeLight: is to accelerate the healing of humanity in our planet, because, as I often say that really our issues when it comes to our planet, or when it comes to societies is because we as human beings are wounded.
16
00:02:12.810 --> 00:02:22.380
Emily Eldredge | ChangeLight: And then we project those wounds outwards and you know with our defenses and all kinds of things and so that's where it's about with we do the inner work and especially those of us who are change makers.
17
00:02:22.830 --> 00:02:35.160
Emily Eldredge | ChangeLight: Who are driven to make a positive difference in the world, especially us it's really, really important that we are as whole and as healthy and as free and empowered and as light.
18
00:02:35.490 --> 00:02:42.720
Emily Eldredge | ChangeLight: as possible from the inside, in order to truly affect that change in order to, as is often said.
19
00:02:43.500 --> 00:02:49.500
Emily Eldredge | ChangeLight: Be that change, we wish to see in the world and that's partly where my name the company name comes from change like.
20
00:02:49.740 --> 00:02:58.620
Emily Eldredge | ChangeLight: To be the light of change that our world so desperately needs so that's what i'm all about here and i'm so glad you're here and excited that you're here for another episode.
21
00:02:58.920 --> 00:03:04.080
Emily Eldredge | ChangeLight: Because right now we're in a series actually before I do that i'm just going to show you here's the.
22
00:03:05.070 --> 00:03:13.620
Emily Eldredge | ChangeLight: My website, I always like to show this, I have a course I have a community, I have a VIP coaching program I speak professionally, as you can see i've been seen it.
23
00:03:13.890 --> 00:03:22.350
Emily Eldredge | ChangeLight: places all over the world world marriage United Nations UK parliament tedx i've done to tedx is actually one of which was the first tedx in a prison spent.
24
00:03:22.590 --> 00:03:27.810
Emily Eldredge | ChangeLight: quite a bit of time working with prisoners with inmates and so actually the the work that I teach is.
25
00:03:28.020 --> 00:03:33.360
Emily Eldredge | ChangeLight: A lot of it has been taught to inmate so it's kind of fun stuff and I really love working with inmates quite frankly.
26
00:03:33.600 --> 00:03:45.450
Emily Eldredge | ChangeLight: As well as change makers and actually there are a lot of inmates that are change makers in their own ways you'd be surprised so anyway change like Inner Work for Greater Good in this series i've been discussing.
27
00:03:45.990 --> 00:03:59.700
Emily Eldredge | ChangeLight: What I call inner exPower, so the ChangeLight System is all about clearing out your inner struggles bringing forward your innate in our powers and honoring those.
28
00:04:00.030 --> 00:04:10.530
Emily Eldredge | ChangeLight: And then, as you do some that's how we uncover this Guiding Star, which is the vision, you have a new fully living your truth and your truth is what we're after here.
29
00:04:10.800 --> 00:04:21.660
Emily Eldredge | ChangeLight: You have a truth, I have a truth we all have a truth that we were born to live and so that's really what the ChangeLight System is about with a very, very simple approach.
30
00:04:21.930 --> 00:04:31.380
Emily Eldredge | ChangeLight: for clearing out all the month that gets in the way and bringing for those powers so that you can fully and completely live your truth actualize your truth.
31
00:04:31.740 --> 00:04:35.250
Emily Eldredge | ChangeLight: And for those of us who are change makers a big part of our truth is.
32
00:04:35.580 --> 00:04:45.960
Emily Eldredge | ChangeLight: positively impacting the world and we have different ways that we do it, so in this series i'm covering the exPower so if you haven't seen the previous one, which was about your inner Defenders.
33
00:04:46.260 --> 00:04:57.180
Emily Eldredge | ChangeLight: I highly recommend it um so i'm going to send her Controllers and then we did this we'll see but the point is this is exPowers are basically the parts of you.
34
00:04:57.900 --> 00:05:00.690
Emily Eldredge | ChangeLight: it's actually I should explain this is the name that I give.
35
00:05:01.140 --> 00:05:07.440
Emily Eldredge | ChangeLight: I made up this word, just so you know, in case you're like i've never heard this word before it will of course you ever heard this word, because I made it up so.
36
00:05:07.680 --> 00:05:12.960
Emily Eldredge | ChangeLight: And there are a bunch of reasons why, but the point is exPowers are those parts of you that are stuck.
37
00:05:13.350 --> 00:05:30.240
Emily Eldredge | ChangeLight: In chronic states of stress we activity or pain, they are your subconscious unhealed wounds and defenses as i've said before exPowers have a lot of other names for them, you know you call them in our blocks wounds triggers blind spots.
38
00:05:30.780 --> 00:05:43.260
Emily Eldredge | ChangeLight: You know, some people call them inner demons it but, basically, they are what's at the core of our when we feel that inner struggle, or when we notice ourselves having a certain trigger reaction.
39
00:05:43.800 --> 00:05:51.030
Emily Eldredge | ChangeLight: Maybe it's a certain reaction to certain types of people or a specific people are in certain situations or you know, maybe we.
40
00:05:51.780 --> 00:05:55.500
Emily Eldredge | ChangeLight: You know, it could be a fear reaction, or it could be an aggressive reaction.
41
00:05:55.890 --> 00:06:03.810
Emily Eldredge | ChangeLight: The point is that these are the things that basically are controlling us in our subconscious and sometimes we're even conscious of them, but the point is.
42
00:06:04.080 --> 00:06:11.790
Emily Eldredge | ChangeLight: They are what's working in the background, there, like the my mother likes to say that there's sort of like the you see the desktop on a computer.
43
00:06:12.480 --> 00:06:21.540
Emily Eldredge | ChangeLight: But really you know the files and folders you see on the desktop or not really the workings of the computer they're just what we're seeing and so these exPowers of the parts.
44
00:06:21.810 --> 00:06:30.330
Emily Eldredge | ChangeLight: that make up sometimes the stuff that's going on inside that we may not see and yet as we're working with our computer we run into issues we've been.
45
00:06:30.570 --> 00:06:36.630
Emily Eldredge | ChangeLight: glitches our it goes a lot slower than we'd like it to or keep shutting down in weird ways.
46
00:06:36.930 --> 00:06:44.970
Emily Eldredge | ChangeLight: So you know, to use that analogy, which I think is a pretty darn good analogy to think of us, you know that we are sort of filled with these programs.
47
00:06:45.240 --> 00:06:56.580
Emily Eldredge | ChangeLight: And some of them are really positive and wonderful, then they support us and fulfilling our missions and and making a difference in the world and showing up as we desire, but then, some of them get in the way.
48
00:06:57.060 --> 00:07:05.010
Emily Eldredge | ChangeLight: And that's what these exPowers are I call them exPowers, because they feel like they work against your power they feel like they work against.
49
00:07:05.250 --> 00:07:15.960
Emily Eldredge | ChangeLight: Really, who are you here who you are here to be what you're here to do and and make it hard to fulfill that mission that we have as a changemaker so.
50
00:07:16.650 --> 00:07:23.430
Emily Eldredge | ChangeLight: And also that cause you to react in certain ways that are not necessarily helpful or healthy in your journey to make a difference.
51
00:07:24.060 --> 00:07:34.290
Emily Eldredge | ChangeLight: So we've in the last one I talked about your inner Defender So if you haven't seen that go ahead and watch that because Defenders are really actually all of the Expo types really incredibly fascinating.
52
00:07:34.530 --> 00:07:42.030
Emily Eldredge | ChangeLight: But Defenders of course you know, have their own unique traits and their own unique ways that they cause us to react to that they react to situations.
53
00:07:42.690 --> 00:07:51.270
Emily Eldredge | ChangeLight: Next we're going to enter excuse me in our Controllers, this is the second type of exPower, I want to talk about.
54
00:07:51.630 --> 00:08:00.690
Emily Eldredge | ChangeLight: And they're quite different from Defenders but here's what we're going to talk about when it comes to Controllers so Controllers are so, what are your inner Controllers.
55
00:08:01.020 --> 00:08:09.510
Emily Eldredge | ChangeLight: out what are they trying to do, and why should we heal them, I often say you might be kind of like well why would why wouldn't I want to hear my inner Controllers but.
56
00:08:09.810 --> 00:08:19.890
Emily Eldredge | ChangeLight: I find that this is a good question to ask because it helps us really recognize how they really do in practice in ways that we don't know but also how R exPowers.
57
00:08:20.550 --> 00:08:32.580
Emily Eldredge | ChangeLight: have certain hidden wonderful blessings about them, that when we feel them we reveal those blessings and this really cool powers that we have so.
58
00:08:33.330 --> 00:08:42.810
Emily Eldredge | ChangeLight: What our inner controls so inner Controllers are they come across in a lot of different ways, whereas Defenders come across mostly and like three different ways.
59
00:08:43.560 --> 00:08:51.510
Emily Eldredge | ChangeLight: Controllers can come across in a lot of different ways and here are just some of them so you're very typical Controller is critical.
60
00:08:51.840 --> 00:09:01.590
Emily Eldredge | ChangeLight: Attacking blaming or shaming some way or another, putting you down or putting another part of you down and, mind you, I want to reinforce.
61
00:09:01.980 --> 00:09:12.840
Emily Eldredge | ChangeLight: This is what's going on inside Okay, there are plenty of people who we see who behave this way on the outside and you might be like Oh, I know a Controller.
62
00:09:13.140 --> 00:09:18.300
Emily Eldredge | ChangeLight: True absolutely and they probably have some Controller energies and them exPowers in them.
63
00:09:19.020 --> 00:09:29.250
Emily Eldredge | ChangeLight: But really we're talking about what's going on inside of you what's going on inside of other people, which may or may not be expressed on the outside and that's One of the interesting things about.
64
00:09:29.490 --> 00:09:35.340
Emily Eldredge | ChangeLight: These inner dynamics and how we tend to struggle with them and how we tend to try to deal with them, not always in healthy ways.
65
00:09:35.760 --> 00:09:44.880
Emily Eldredge | ChangeLight: So they get one type of Controllers critical attacking blaming and shaming, this is your classic Controller, which is an inner critic.
66
00:09:45.750 --> 00:09:51.720
Emily Eldredge | ChangeLight: So when people talk about an inner critic I would say 99% of the time.
67
00:09:52.290 --> 00:10:03.030
Emily Eldredge | ChangeLight: that's an inner Controller, occasionally, it can be another type of exPower but there's a reason why that other exPower type can act this way but that's really not what it's sort of foundational thing is all about.
68
00:10:03.510 --> 00:10:17.070
Emily Eldredge | ChangeLight: So critical attacking blaming shaming also pushy and pressuring so it might be like a part of you that's pushing you to succeed, are pushing you to take a certain action or pushing you.
69
00:10:17.640 --> 00:10:28.260
Emily Eldredge | ChangeLight: To be a certain way act a certain way or pressuring you in ways the other sort of type that sort of the point is is like a Controller can be both.
70
00:10:28.500 --> 00:10:36.090
Emily Eldredge | ChangeLight: Either either push you're pressuring or it can be suppressive and oppressive So if you think about it energetically it's like a Controller can be like.
71
00:10:36.300 --> 00:10:42.600
Emily Eldredge | ChangeLight: Pushing you're pushing a part of you trying to get you to be a certain way to do a certain thing, but at the same time, there can be.
72
00:10:42.870 --> 00:10:54.780
Emily Eldredge | ChangeLight: There can also be Controllers they're actually trying to suppress view and oprah and stop you from doing things and try to make you smile, and that they can use criticism and shaming and blaming.
73
00:10:55.080 --> 00:11:03.030
Emily Eldredge | ChangeLight: in different ways, so you may notice actually these two different types of inner Controllers and you, you may be like Oh, I definitely have an inner Controller.
74
00:11:03.300 --> 00:11:11.100
Emily Eldredge | ChangeLight: that's telling me that i'm worthless and then i've never amounted to anything and then i'm a failure and I never going to accomplish anything in my life.
75
00:11:11.460 --> 00:11:18.090
Emily Eldredge | ChangeLight: And that I should just give up now, and I would say that's more of a so suppressive oppressive type of inner Controller.
76
00:11:18.420 --> 00:11:24.930
Emily Eldredge | ChangeLight: But then there can be the other type that's like well you know you better do this, or else they're all going to make fun of you.
77
00:11:25.170 --> 00:11:35.790
Emily Eldredge | ChangeLight: Or you know you, you know remember you screwed up last time, so you better put everything into it this time, and so it can use that criticism or that shaming or that you know negative.
78
00:11:36.600 --> 00:11:49.800
Emily Eldredge | ChangeLight: negative messages to try to push you to do better, so those are sort of the different types of Controllers right there there can also be the Controllers can also be very fear mongering.
79
00:11:50.190 --> 00:12:04.860
Emily Eldredge | ChangeLight: doubting and undermining, and so it might be a type of inner Controller, that it may not be like oh you suck in your terrible and you're fat you're ugly and you're this you're that and just you know, like this barrage of criticism, it may be more sort of.
80
00:12:05.370 --> 00:12:12.120
Emily Eldredge | ChangeLight: sinister and subtle kind of under the surface kind of like that Controllers basically saying like well you know.
81
00:12:12.630 --> 00:12:23.190
Emily Eldredge | ChangeLight: Remember the last time you did that I don't know even like it, that much so, you know you better, not a better father or it might be a message of like.
82
00:12:24.000 --> 00:12:34.470
Emily Eldredge | ChangeLight: Well, it, you know, in other words it's it's this it could be this voice and, and the reason why I can even use this voice is because i've had those drillers inside of me before where they were basically.
83
00:12:36.270 --> 00:12:50.070
Emily Eldredge | ChangeLight: You know, and so it's not sort of saying you know you're terrible and awful it's more just trying to undermine your sense of confidence in yourself in your ability to do something or achieve a certain thing or come across a certain way.
84
00:12:50.520 --> 00:12:58.020
Emily Eldredge | ChangeLight: And so that's another type of inner Controller those can be like really it can be really subtle like sometimes i've done so much.
85
00:12:59.040 --> 00:13:07.710
Emily Eldredge | ChangeLight: healing of my own, you know interact powers, but you know I still sometimes we'll have an x power that pops up and sometimes that can be one of them works is, this is a little voice.
86
00:13:10.200 --> 00:13:19.200
Emily Eldredge | ChangeLight: So, finally, the final type of Controller is can be very diverting and distracting and so when I work with my clients part of what I do and i'll talk about the Drawing Out Process.
87
00:13:19.470 --> 00:13:27.660
Emily Eldredge | ChangeLight: But part of that growing up process is I actually talked to these inner exPowers, and I find out what's really going on with them that's how I even learned any of this stuff.
88
00:13:27.990 --> 00:13:33.780
Emily Eldredge | ChangeLight: Is through my work and through working with people, and it was really the powers that taught me the truth about themselves.
89
00:13:34.140 --> 00:13:44.220
Emily Eldredge | ChangeLight: And so i've had you know i've worked with exPowers where I will say, well, why do you feel the need to you know make that person super super busy you know or get them.
90
00:13:44.970 --> 00:13:53.580
Emily Eldredge | ChangeLight: You know, whatever just like sort of be them make them really busy and avoiding their own emotions and they'll say well because i'm trying to distract them from how they feel.
91
00:13:54.180 --> 00:13:58.680
Emily Eldredge | ChangeLight: Because I don't want them to feel bad and so i'm trying to keep them from doing.
92
00:13:59.160 --> 00:14:12.540
Emily Eldredge | ChangeLight: And so that's another way that a Controller will try to control you or even a part of you try to get you to stop feeling certain feelings, because it associates those feelings with something bad or with you, you.
93
00:14:13.170 --> 00:14:23.250
Emily Eldredge | ChangeLight: You know screwing up and it doesn't want you to screw up against what's like well we better not let her or him feel that way again, because then it might result in some bad things again and then they'll get criticized by other people.
94
00:14:23.610 --> 00:14:30.300
Emily Eldredge | ChangeLight: which actually leads to what is it the Controllers are actually trying to do this is where.
95
00:14:30.720 --> 00:14:36.000
Emily Eldredge | ChangeLight: Controllers and really exPowers in general are really fascinating because, on the surface.
96
00:14:36.300 --> 00:14:54.510
Emily Eldredge | ChangeLight: They show up a certain way, and you know we may think well well that Controller or that inner critic is just you know telling me that i'm horrible and I suck and I failed at everything because it wants to hurt me and because of hates me and because you know it wants me to fail at everything.
97
00:14:55.590 --> 00:14:56.070
Emily Eldredge | ChangeLight: that's.
98
00:14:57.330 --> 00:15:09.600
Emily Eldredge | ChangeLight: And that's The interesting thing and that's actually one of the biggest most eye opening things for me when it came to learning the truth about my own inner exPowers is I developed all this work, because I developed the change like system.
99
00:15:10.110 --> 00:15:18.180
Emily Eldredge | ChangeLight: And I, and I share a bit about that, and one of my previous episodes because this came out of my own work, and when I realized that actually the spinner.
100
00:15:18.930 --> 00:15:24.540
Emily Eldredge | ChangeLight: exPowers that I was dealing with that the way they were coming across on the surface was actually.
101
00:15:24.930 --> 00:15:33.150
Emily Eldredge | ChangeLight: Like that the reality below the surface of what they were actually trying to do was different it was just like oh my gosh.
102
00:15:33.570 --> 00:15:41.850
Emily Eldredge | ChangeLight: And, oh no wonder, my fighting with them doesn't work because you know these exPowers and Controllers we'll talk about this in just a second.
103
00:15:42.210 --> 00:15:44.880
Emily Eldredge | ChangeLight: are really just trying they're actually.
104
00:15:45.240 --> 00:15:56.400
Emily Eldredge | ChangeLight: What they're doing is actually different from what they're trying to do, like the impact they have on us is very different from what their intentions are so that's something really important to remember.
105
00:15:56.700 --> 00:16:02.610
Emily Eldredge | ChangeLight: About exPowers about our inner struggles and these books and triggers and wounds and all these things that we struggle us and that.
106
00:16:02.910 --> 00:16:14.430
Emily Eldredge | ChangeLight: We struggle with and that cause us to behave in ways that may or may not be so happy about, but anyway So what is it the Controllers, as opposed to the other two types of exPowers, what are they trying to do.
107
00:16:15.180 --> 00:16:19.320
Emily Eldredge | ChangeLight: Well, for one thing, some Controllers are trying to keep you small.
108
00:16:20.100 --> 00:16:29.280
Emily Eldredge | ChangeLight: So that you won't risk getting criticized and hurt so remember I described that Controller type that was very critical and shaming and suppressive and oppressive.
109
00:16:29.730 --> 00:16:42.990
Emily Eldredge | ChangeLight: Trying to keep you small because it's afraid that if you actually you know expand or shine your light or you're big in the world, or you, you know really show up fully against yourself.
110
00:16:43.470 --> 00:16:57.000
Emily Eldredge | ChangeLight: That someone's going to criticize you someone's going to attack you someone's going to undermine you someone's going to tear you down someone's going to find something wrong with you and then what's going to happen you're going to feel hurt.
111
00:16:58.290 --> 00:17:02.610
Emily Eldredge | ChangeLight: And so that's what Controllers are ultimately trying to protect.
112
00:17:02.910 --> 00:17:12.150
Emily Eldredge | ChangeLight: us from his pain, just like Defenders where, if you watch the previous episode Defenders are also trying to protect us from pain in some way or another.
113
00:17:12.360 --> 00:17:26.970
Emily Eldredge | ChangeLight: This is how Controller spread to protect us from pain, so, while Defenders are all about pushing the pain away or trying to block that pain, or even internally block us from our own pain Controllers are are all about trying to.
114
00:17:28.170 --> 00:17:39.720
Emily Eldredge | ChangeLight: change or mitigate change that source of pain or change us so that we won't experience that pain again so it's like Defenders are blocking and Controllers are all about trying to change.
115
00:17:40.530 --> 00:17:50.760
Emily Eldredge | ChangeLight: US are part of us so that we won't get hurt again so classic inner critic that tells you you're not good enough and, basically, you should give up right now and tries to make you feel small.
116
00:17:51.120 --> 00:17:58.020
Emily Eldredge | ChangeLight: That is what the Controller is trying to do is they're actually trying to prevent you from risking getting criticized and hurt.
117
00:17:58.680 --> 00:18:05.760
Emily Eldredge | ChangeLight: Why because they've seen you criticize and hurt again and they don't want that don't want you to her.
118
00:18:06.690 --> 00:18:16.530
Emily Eldredge | ChangeLight: So another thing that Controllers are trying to do is to push you to feel stronger and succeed, so that.
119
00:18:17.100 --> 00:18:30.660
Emily Eldredge | ChangeLight: You won't feel mediocre embarrassed and or rejected so that other type of Controller that's all about pushing and you need to do this, you need to achieve this thing, and you need to prove yourself or.
120
00:18:30.900 --> 00:18:41.070
Emily Eldredge | ChangeLight: You know you got to prove all them wrong or you know just any type of inner Controller that's actually pushing us that's trying to get us to be bigger but say we're trying to get us to do more.
121
00:18:41.670 --> 00:18:52.170
Emily Eldredge | ChangeLight: it's often because they seen us experience those feelings of insecurity and weakness or failure, you know, maybe.
122
00:18:52.740 --> 00:18:59.550
Emily Eldredge | ChangeLight: When we were, I mean really it's like when we were children and there were maybe you're five years old and you had a test that you had to take.
123
00:18:59.850 --> 00:19:10.980
Emily Eldredge | ChangeLight: And you know not not the five year olds usually take tests, but maybe there was something that happened in which you felt like you failed at something or maybe teacher made you feel bad so you might have an inner Controller.
124
00:19:11.250 --> 00:19:26.910
Emily Eldredge | ChangeLight: That developed to try to keep you from feeling that way again that pushed you to try to see to push you to try to prove yourself to other people, so that you wouldn't feel mediocre embarrassed or rejected.
125
00:19:27.540 --> 00:19:31.410
Emily Eldredge | ChangeLight: So that's how another type of Controller what it's often trying to do.
126
00:19:32.010 --> 00:19:39.690
Emily Eldredge | ChangeLight: And by the way, as I share all of these things I hope you're sort of noticing these energies inside of you and noticing these types of inner struggles that you have or.
127
00:19:39.900 --> 00:19:47.790
Emily Eldredge | ChangeLight: These types of voices that you might have in your head or these you know you might feel a pressure is inside or you know just any sort of senses.
128
00:19:48.420 --> 00:19:53.670
Emily Eldredge | ChangeLight: be aware of anything in your body when your heart and mind that relates to these things.
129
00:19:54.180 --> 00:20:03.480
Emily Eldredge | ChangeLight: So then finally Controllers what they're ultimately trying to do, or what some of them are ultimately trying to do is to give you a feeling of control.
130
00:20:04.230 --> 00:20:09.420
Emily Eldredge | ChangeLight: In situations that make you feel out of control, so.
131
00:20:09.750 --> 00:20:24.930
Emily Eldredge | ChangeLight: What are what our Controllers what now, as I explained the extra hours were all in the previous episode the X flowers were all named according to their primary behaviors so Defenders are all about defending and putting up defenses and blocking.
132
00:20:25.290 --> 00:20:35.610
Emily Eldredge | ChangeLight: Controllers, the other direction control change manipulate move around, whatever it is mitigates and that's what Controllers are trying to do.
133
00:20:35.940 --> 00:20:47.670
Emily Eldredge | ChangeLight: Because what they like is control what they're all about is trying to control and get things to be a certain way or get you to be a certain way.
134
00:20:47.880 --> 00:20:54.960
Emily Eldredge | ChangeLight: Again, because they're trying to protect you from getting criticized or feeling embarrassed or feeling out of control.
135
00:20:55.470 --> 00:21:03.390
Emily Eldredge | ChangeLight: You know what comes to mind is I think about this it's sort of like and you see it as sometimes like when someone let's say you have a family member who's dying.
136
00:21:03.990 --> 00:21:08.190
Emily Eldredge | ChangeLight: And everybody deals with those situations differently so you might have someone who is.
137
00:21:08.460 --> 00:21:15.300
Emily Eldredge | ChangeLight: A member of the family who goes to that person who's dying and is there and comforts them is really present with them emotionally and just.
138
00:21:15.510 --> 00:21:28.320
Emily Eldredge | ChangeLight: accepts this is what's going on, you know and it's just just once that person's last few hours or days of their life to be you know cut to for them to feel comforted and taken care of and to to really.
139
00:21:29.070 --> 00:21:37.410
Emily Eldredge | ChangeLight: maximize their presence with that with that person who's dying, but then you also have a lot of families there will be that person who will certainly try to go into.
140
00:21:37.830 --> 00:21:44.850
Emily Eldredge | ChangeLight: we're going to try to control everything right it's like for we've got to get this work that we've got to get that work done let's make sure we thought this and they you know.
141
00:21:45.240 --> 00:21:55.560
Emily Eldredge | ChangeLight: or or fluffing pillows and it's all this, maybe this activity and so that's what you see on the outside, so what might be happening on the inside, I say my only because.
142
00:21:56.790 --> 00:22:05.670
Emily Eldredge | ChangeLight: External behaviors don't always directly correlate with internal behaviors but probably in a situation like this you've got that person has a very powerful inner Controller.
143
00:22:06.000 --> 00:22:13.410
Emily Eldredge | ChangeLight: who's causing them to feel like they need to control, whatever they can control in a situation that is so completely.
144
00:22:13.980 --> 00:22:23.370
Emily Eldredge | ChangeLight: Out of their control when someone is dying whether it's because they've been sick or they something happened they had an accident and there's a lot that we can't control.
145
00:22:23.880 --> 00:22:35.490
Emily Eldredge | ChangeLight: And so, sometimes you'll have that person and maybe you're that person and i've been that person sometimes where i'm like well here just do this or try this or well i'm just going to take care of that and a lot of times that's because that inner Controller.
146
00:22:36.180 --> 00:22:41.610
Emily Eldredge | ChangeLight: recognizes that you feel out of control and it feels out of control and so it's trying to we're.
147
00:22:41.880 --> 00:22:52.110
Emily Eldredge | ChangeLight: Trying to give you a sense of control, because the feeling of being out of control is painful again Controller is just like this, you know the Defenders are just trying to protect us from those feelings.
148
00:22:52.650 --> 00:23:04.020
Emily Eldredge | ChangeLight: from any of those you know any feelings that are uncomfortable or painful because they don't want us to hurt and so that's oftentimes what this type of Controller, you know that's one example of like where when that type of Controller will show up.
149
00:23:05.190 --> 00:23:13.290
Emily Eldredge | ChangeLight: So, finally, why heal your inner Controllers Well, quite frankly, obviously, because they make you feel bad right.
150
00:23:13.620 --> 00:23:24.180
Emily Eldredge | ChangeLight: Because they make you feel criticized and unacceptable so while Controllers intentions may be good, you know they're trying to protect us from these feelings so they're trying to keep us from feeling.
151
00:23:24.420 --> 00:23:30.120
Emily Eldredge | ChangeLight: mediocre criticized or change or any of those things but reality is that's how they make us feel.
152
00:23:30.660 --> 00:23:39.510
Emily Eldredge | ChangeLight: And that's what's also very interesting about exPowers is that and actually Controllers, in particular, is there, so it's very counterintuitive it's like.
153
00:23:39.780 --> 00:23:47.040
Emily Eldredge | ChangeLight: You know, here they are acting one way and then, when I talked to that person's in our Controller and they'll say, well, I just don't want her to feel hurt or criticize.
154
00:23:47.370 --> 00:23:52.050
Emily Eldredge | ChangeLight: And i'll say well you know that's really interesting i'll say this to the Controller when I do the Drawing Out Process i'll say.
155
00:23:52.740 --> 00:24:01.950
Emily Eldredge | ChangeLight: it's kind of interesting because actually what i'm hearing from her is that what you're doing and saying is actually making her feel criticized.
156
00:24:02.820 --> 00:24:10.170
Emily Eldredge | ChangeLight: And so, then that Controller that extra will have like sudden awakening and be like oh my gosh I had no idea.
157
00:24:10.830 --> 00:24:24.180
Emily Eldredge | ChangeLight: Oh no i'm so sorry I didn't realize that so it's this interesting thing where exPowers and Controllers, I think, especially will have certain behaviors that they've done for so long because, at some point.
158
00:24:24.510 --> 00:24:30.660
Emily Eldredge | ChangeLight: It was protecting you that behavior that trying to tamp down may have been protecting you and a very critical environment.
159
00:24:31.170 --> 00:24:35.340
Emily Eldredge | ChangeLight: But they don't realize that actually their methods are now backfiring.
160
00:24:35.610 --> 00:24:39.810
Emily Eldredge | ChangeLight: That, rather than protecting you from criticism they're actually making you feel for the size.
161
00:24:39.990 --> 00:24:47.220
Emily Eldredge | ChangeLight: they're making you feel small they're making you feel mediocre you're making you feel not good enough they're making you feel.
162
00:24:47.370 --> 00:25:00.660
Emily Eldredge | ChangeLight: out of control, because they're trying to control everything so in a way they're like controlling you we can which can make you feel like you're out of control, like this part of us just taking over so notice how it's like it's this wonderful.
163
00:25:00.990 --> 00:25:04.170
Emily Eldredge | ChangeLight: paradox not wonderful because it can be really painful.
164
00:25:04.470 --> 00:25:11.070
Emily Eldredge | ChangeLight: But I just think it's really fascinating and it's a really important paradox to recognize, because if you've got these parts of you.
165
00:25:11.250 --> 00:25:20.640
Emily Eldredge | ChangeLight: That you notice, and you know that they're causing you pain and they're causing me to behave certain ways feel certain ways or they're doing certain things to you or parts of you like that inner critic.
166
00:25:21.030 --> 00:25:33.930
Emily Eldredge | ChangeLight: To understand that if their intentions are different from their impact, but this is why one of the big reasons why it's so important it's got to heal them because their methods aren't working they're actually causing you to feel criticized and unacceptable.
167
00:25:34.950 --> 00:25:42.120
Emily Eldredge | ChangeLight: Also, they make you feel like you're never enough, as I mentioned, they can actually make you feel small the ones that are trying to push you to succeed and.
168
00:25:42.330 --> 00:25:51.510
Emily Eldredge | ChangeLight: make a difference, or prove yourself, ultimately, the pushing can be so extreme and the lot of times they can be very critical and shaming to try to get you to do more.
169
00:25:51.900 --> 00:25:59.430
Emily Eldredge | ChangeLight: That ultimately you end up feeling worse you don't feel like a success, you do feel like a failure because you feel like you've never met.
170
00:25:59.730 --> 00:26:03.570
Emily Eldredge | ChangeLight: The expectations of the pressures of that control and I can't tell you.
171
00:26:03.930 --> 00:26:13.320
Emily Eldredge | ChangeLight: How many people i've worked with who are so successful, and if you saw that on the outside you'd be like wow this person is amazing and look at what a difference, they make it.
172
00:26:13.620 --> 00:26:20.100
Emily Eldredge | ChangeLight: Look at how they you know they're running this company or this foundation or what have you and they're just so amazing and they have it so to cover.
173
00:26:20.640 --> 00:26:29.460
Emily Eldredge | ChangeLight: But when I work with them and rediscover oftentimes there can be an inner Controller in there that's pushing them to do all of this stuff and they will tell me.
174
00:26:30.330 --> 00:26:38.940
Emily Eldredge | ChangeLight: It doesn't matter how much I do it doesn't matter how much I succeed it doesn't matter how many awards I get I still feel like a failure, I still feel like i've never done enough.
175
00:26:39.930 --> 00:26:46.320
Emily Eldredge | ChangeLight: And a lot of times it's because they've got that inner Controller that keeps reinforcing that message for them.
176
00:26:47.790 --> 00:26:51.990
Emily Eldredge | ChangeLight: They make you feel unsafe in your own skin I described how that Controller.
177
00:26:52.290 --> 00:27:00.960
Emily Eldredge | ChangeLight: can end up controlling us and taking control over us or causing us to feel worse about ourselves, and so that's ultimately you know when it comes to my work.
178
00:27:01.200 --> 00:27:12.570
Emily Eldredge | ChangeLight: And what I found when it comes to exPowers of exPowers form as a result of any sense of safety that we've experienced in our lives, so we have this moment where we feel unsafe.
179
00:27:13.110 --> 00:27:21.300
Emily Eldredge | ChangeLight: almost always or I don't know like odds here, but the point is that a part of US forms that carries that sense of safety.
180
00:27:21.810 --> 00:27:34.770
Emily Eldredge | ChangeLight: And so that's what it's about is that when we have these expires, then we feel unsafe in our own skin so that's why it's absolutely vital to heal these parts, so that we can feel stronger and more empowered.
181
00:27:35.280 --> 00:27:40.770
Emily Eldredge | ChangeLight: In every situation and not as easily triggered and not as easily wounded.
182
00:27:41.130 --> 00:27:58.560
Emily Eldredge | ChangeLight: As I often say, no one can punch your buttons unless you have the buttons to punch so these buttons are these exPowers to heal the exPowers to clear those buttons you feel stronger and amazing and course as change makers, then we can make a bigger difference in the world.
183
00:27:59.910 --> 00:28:04.380
Emily Eldredge | ChangeLight: Finally, they hold immense untapped inner power, I think this is something.
184
00:28:04.980 --> 00:28:10.830
Emily Eldredge | ChangeLight: This is one of my biggest messages is that those things that were struggling with inside of us that we think are bad or weak.
185
00:28:11.100 --> 00:28:21.060
Emily Eldredge | ChangeLight: or shameful or dark or things that we need to reject or that we're scared of we don't know what to do with the truth is one of the big reasons why call them exPowers.
186
00:28:21.540 --> 00:28:28.680
Emily Eldredge | ChangeLight: These because they are former parts of our power, and this is what i've discovered through my work.
187
00:28:29.040 --> 00:28:39.720
Emily Eldredge | ChangeLight: Which is the drawing up processes, the main technique that I do what happens is we draw out that part meaning, I have the person literally draw out that part of them.
188
00:28:40.080 --> 00:28:48.690
Emily Eldredge | ChangeLight: And then, I have a conversation with it and we find out what exactly is going on there, why is that part of the behaving that way thinking that we feeling that way.
189
00:28:49.140 --> 00:28:58.950
Emily Eldredge | ChangeLight: And so, then take it through the rest of the program so it transforms so within two hours really or less to three hours or less, we can permanently feel.
190
00:28:59.250 --> 00:29:02.910
Emily Eldredge | ChangeLight: That inner critic and that's a big reason I just want you to know that's why I like.
191
00:29:03.420 --> 00:29:10.980
Emily Eldredge | ChangeLight: Sharing all this information about these X prototypes so you can understand that do you get to a D mystifies them so you're like oh.
192
00:29:11.280 --> 00:29:24.120
Emily Eldredge | ChangeLight: Actually Why am I so scared that inner critic when really if I know what it's really about, I know I can learn how to work with it, I can not be so scared of it until the drawing our process is that process that I developed it permanently.
193
00:29:24.660 --> 00:29:31.620
Emily Eldredge | ChangeLight: And I need it permanently transforms, for example, that in our Controller that inner critic back to its original essence.
194
00:29:31.950 --> 00:29:45.690
Emily Eldredge | ChangeLight: back to its m power essence we're talking about emPowers in later episodes but it transforms it so that rather than working against your power it works for you, so when I talk about transforming and inner critic.
195
00:29:46.050 --> 00:29:49.680
Emily Eldredge | ChangeLight: And it literally like I can't tell you how many Controllers i've.
196
00:29:49.950 --> 00:30:00.060
Emily Eldredge | ChangeLight: worked i've talked to them the Drawing Out Process where they literally transformed from being this critical and shameful and you know that's terrible and you know you're terrible and you're screwing up.
197
00:30:00.300 --> 00:30:04.590
Emily Eldredge | ChangeLight: To them when they realize that what they're doing actually isn't working after all.
198
00:30:04.950 --> 00:30:13.950
Emily Eldredge | ChangeLight: He turned into these magical magical cheerleaders and instead of shaming and blaming criticizing or any of that they're like you're awesome you're great.
199
00:30:14.520 --> 00:30:24.360
Emily Eldredge | ChangeLight: And the person quite is just amazing and so that's What I mean is that this power is then transform back to what it originally was before it got distorted.
200
00:30:24.720 --> 00:30:39.930
Emily Eldredge | ChangeLight: by those situations or people or experiences in your life that made those parts of you feel unsafe and feel like they needed to turn into Controllers so by drawing out your expertise, you can more quickly and painlessly heal them so really quickly.
201
00:30:40.710 --> 00:30:47.460
Emily Eldredge | ChangeLight: These are the parts of the sort of basics of the change like system that i'm going through obviously i'm covering exPowers right now.
202
00:30:47.670 --> 00:30:55.560
Emily Eldredge | ChangeLight: Next, after this we're going to be talking about in our emPowers, which is what this exPowers transform into really, really grateful stuff.
203
00:30:56.070 --> 00:31:07.170
Emily Eldredge | ChangeLight: And then you're Guiding Star that vision of who you are, and you know to be so that you can actually see it it's literally like there in front of you it guides you to to be Cup to live and actualize your truth.
204
00:31:07.620 --> 00:31:17.070
Emily Eldredge | ChangeLight: And then finally your truth, which is the treasure that we are after here, which is what i'm all about getting people tuned into their truth living their truth actually.
205
00:31:17.940 --> 00:31:25.110
Emily Eldredge | ChangeLight: and especially with change makers, those of us who are driven to make a difference in the world, I want every single changemaker on the planet.
206
00:31:25.440 --> 00:31:37.290
Emily Eldredge | ChangeLight: To be so fully aligned and lit up with their truth it's like they are just you know we're accelerating the healing of our planet, like nothing ever before that's what i'm that's what i'm all about that's what I want so.
207
00:31:37.770 --> 00:31:43.890
Emily Eldredge | ChangeLight: With That said, I just want to invite you experienced the change like system where you learn all about these.
208
00:31:44.100 --> 00:31:50.640
Emily Eldredge | ChangeLight: And then you also learn the Drawing Out Process is not just for extra hours, but also for emPowers and you're Guiding Star and your truth.
209
00:31:50.940 --> 00:31:55.260
Emily Eldredge | ChangeLight: And it's inside a safe and supportive Community so you're not alone as you're doing this work.
210
00:31:55.500 --> 00:32:07.200
Emily Eldredge | ChangeLight: Right now, I happen to be running a special because sort of a pre launch thing so go ahead and join us please love to have you accelerate your power to change the world so with that.
211
00:32:07.920 --> 00:32:13.890
Emily Eldredge | ChangeLight: Thank you so much for listening i'm so happy to have you here for my show Inner Work for Greater Good.
212
00:32:14.220 --> 00:32:19.560
Emily Eldredge | ChangeLight: And I hope that you are learning things and I hope that this has been really enlightening for you.
