Carie Winchell is a spiritually informed Licensed Mental Health Therapist, specializing in Somatic Experiencing and Brainspotting. She has guided thousands of healing sessions over the past 30 years. She is also a Gene Keys & Human Design Guide and Metaphysical Mentor. Carie's intention is to support personal empowerment and the expansion of consciousness through the awakening to one's highest potential.
When the social system you are a part of becomes too small, when you begin your personal awakening journey, when your Soul is calling you to listen, your life will become chaotic, your sense of balance will be disturbed or broken, and the ground beneath you will feel shaky. You will likely find yourself in a crisis once you listen to the call of your Soul. This crisis is a time when important decisions must be made. It is a breakdown, and it cannot be resolved by one's lifelong programming. One's familiar patterns of relating to oneself and one's environment no longer work. And this is the good news, your Soul is calling out to you. A breakthrough is needed. The chaos is necessary. How you relate to the chaos is most important.
“Freedom’s just another word for nothin' left to lose.” – Janis Joplin
This is why I support expansion beyond traditional psychotherapy. I believe we are here on Earth to meet our Soul's Calling. First, in the day-to-day, so that when it really matters, when our listening is the most important ingredient for our expansion, we can embark on our Heroine's/Hero's Journey to meet the calling of our Soul, toward enlightenment and intimacy with the Divine. Without the chaos and a deep listening to your Soul, there is no meaningful breakdown or breakthrough into New Life. I support your Soul's calling. I support you as you learn new ways to listen to your deepest Self. Ceremony, ritual, meaningful connections, relationships with nature, trust, and aligning with your internal guidance all allow your Soul to be heard.
When you can no longer function within the system you are a part of, that is the good news. When you feel a restriction that becomes intolerable or unbearable, it is time to listen to your Soul. We are called to let go of limiting beliefs and small, outdated reactions to life. We live in a culture that supports us to stay and figure out how to make it work within systems that do not align with our Soul's Calling. I support you to listen at all costs. I support the breakdown. And as important as listening to our Soul's Calling is, we must listen to the wisdom we have gathered up until now. Allow it to guide you toward a new relationship with the chaos. The chaos can serve us, heal us, and transform us into new life. Crisis unfolds once we choose to align with our authentic Selves, or the decision happens for us by our Soul, by Spirit. Either way, Spirit will journey with and for you through the process.
The easier way is to listen. We do this with support. And sometimes, we choose the harder way. We don't listen to the call, we might be too scared to. The crisis grows, the restriction intensifies, and that too is exactly what is meant to happen. We can judge one way as good and another as bad. I believe that with spirituality, it is all happening exactly as it is supposed to.
And at the same time, we must show up.
I would love to support you on your journey! Join me for a dynamic workshop experience or schedule a session here.
