Have you ever wished you could just BREAK FREE of your self-limiting patterns and do what you’re dreaming of?

July 27, 2010

This class completed on August 31st, 2010, but I’m currently putting together the next offering. If you want to be sure to receive the details, just click the menu tab above to sign up for the Free E-Course and you’ll be the first to know!

Whether it’s about finishing that book or important project, marketing your business, pursuing your art or craft, starting an exercise program or a spiritual practice, or stepping out in the world in service, we all get to a place sometimes when we need to acknowledge that we’re just not moving forward anymore.

By that time, we’re often being really hard on ourselves for our lack of results. And the build up of that negative charge just creates one more barrier for us to get through if we want to get moving again.

But what if you could:

  • Achieve your goals and desires more quickly and with less struggle
  • Make new choices when your old patterns try to take over
  • Learn how to have compassion for yourself when you sabotage
  • Feel confident in setting juicy goals you can really achieve
  • Stay committed longer, even when results are slow to come
  • Find powerful, untapped sources of willingness and motivation
  • Learn to support and encourage yourself no matter what

You could have a completely different experience of setting and achieving juicy, meaningful goals for yourself!

I knew the feelings of frustration, self-judgment and discouragement inside and out in my life.

I knew I had all kinds of ability, I knew that there were so many possibilities…

Susan Johnstone

I had all the ideas, I knew the action steps, but something invisible always seemed to be holding me back.

And it wasn’t like I hadn’t done any work on this pattern either!

I had read all kinds of books, taken lots of classes, tried different kinds of meditation and other practices – but whatever the block was it had managed to completely elude me.

I was PAINFULLY aware of how stuck I was and, with each thing that didn’t work, my belief in my own ability to ever break out of this pattern slipped further and further away.

I dedicated myself to breaking through these patterns in myself and then with others.

I started off studying my own resistance over 18 years ago working in a tiny office at a job I hated.

Then I had the opportunity to study other people’s resistance patterns for years working for an international seminar company and later leading corporate team building programs and finally for 6 years as a personal coach.

And then one day, since I’m a molecular biologist by training, I started digging into the brain science behind resistance and what I discovered is this:

Resistance is NOT Your Garden Variety Obstacle

I discovered that resistance works in a very particular way because of where it’s wired up in our brain and the mechanisms it uses to keep us safe.

Traditional coaching methods and cognitive approaches
simply don’t work with resistance because:

  • you can’t out-think the part of you that has the power to shut off your thinking brain
  • your brain is actively working to keep the real causes hidden so you won’t remember old pain
  • willpower and pushing only makes it work harder to keep you safe
  • judging and criticizing it only sends it deeper into hiding

I’ve developed a completely different approach that works!

What came out of all my research and experimentation with myself and my clients over many years is  a completely unique combination of brain science, psychology, coaching support, compassion training, awareness building and skill development designed to permanently transform your deep patterns of resistance and self-sabotage – no matter where they’ve come from!

I felt very honored by your interventions, Susan. You have a wonderful way of supporting people right where they are and you did so with me… I ended up feeling more empowered by your uplifting of my challenges.
Your caring , and deep insight comes through in the tenor and quality of your voice, the choice of words and the approach you take.
I would describe you as: Absolute Empowerment; Compassion to the Max; Change without Pain.

Introducing The Wisdom of Your Resistance 5-Week Teleclass Package

In the next 5-Weeks I want to show you step-by-step how to track your resistance and enter into a compassionate dialogue with it so you can immediately end the tug of war you’ve been having with yourself.

Your resistance patterns, and all parts of you for that matter, are incredibly wise and with the right training, you can start finding out WHY they’ve been getting in your way so you can give them what they need to get on board and work FOR you.

You’ll be building skills and learning practical techniques you can use anytime, anywhere, to make new choices and keep resistance from taking over.

Over the next 5 weeks you’ll get to:

  • understand the natural causes and sources of resistance so you can stop beating yourself up for having it
  • use my tracking system to see your own unique resistance patterns at work and find out what created them
  • create a new awareness and an ability to bring deep insights to the surface
  • identify the exact things you most need to hear when you’re resisting your goal and create a mantra for those moments
  • learn the difference between heart and ego motivation and how to keep your ego happy while you go for the big juicy heart-goals
  • discover the antidote to the judgment/avoidance cycle and learn how to apply it
  • develop a new identity that’s larger than your fear and doubt and leads to confident actions
  • question your inner critic and take the sting out of anything it has to say
  • develop a deeper compassion and acceptance of yourself and all your qualities that frees you up to express and create
  • learn my 4 favourite Resistance Busting Practices and use my audio guide to go deeper with them
  • ask the questions that will deepen your desire and motivation so you can keep going even when things get hard
  • uncover the beautiful story that’s been playing out through your struggle all along and release the old story you’ve been telling about it
  • learn how to take compassionate, deliberate actions that set you up for satisfaction and success
  • meet the new YOU that you’re on your way to becoming because of the gift of your resistance

We start Tuesday, August 3rd, at 8 pm Eastern Time and complete on August 31st.

You won’t need to be on the calls live, however, to get full value from the class. That will come in applying the practices in your own life.

Plus, you’ll be unlearning a lifetime of judgment and inner criticism and learning brand new positive, heart-centered ways to stay connected to your motivation and desire.

No matter what your obstacles are, you’ll find effective ways to see through them and transform them into good fuel, for progress you can feel great about.

I have the most wonderful feeling in my heart and soul and actually look forward to waking each day again. My path is wide open and I am free for the first time to move forward.
Thank you so much.

Here’s What Your Program Includes:

1. One 90 Minute Teleclass Per Week For 5 Weeks – Part of each class will be sharing new information and content for the coming week and a portion of the time will be spent going over the previous week’s practice and addressing your questions and comments. This won’t be all about personal process work, either. You’re always in choice about how much you say on the calls and we’ll have time to go deeper in our session together if you wish.

2. Weekly Homework Guide & pdf Worksheets – You’ll never be left wondering what to focus on. You’ll have clear activities and steps to accomplish that you’ve chosen for yourself and worksheets to guide you. Beyond that, a lot of your process will just unfold organically, as things arise in your life and you find yourself responding to them in new ways. That’s the fun part!

3. The 15 Minutes a Day to Outsmarting Your Resistance Kit – This will be part of your daily and weekly process as you track your resistance patterns and learn to see more deeply into them with awareness and compassion. And the audio recording will help you put the 4 main Resistance Busters into practice.

4. Our Community Forum – Anyone who’s been part of a really great forum knows that the support of this kind of community is like gold – especially when you’re in a process that tends to make you feel isolated and alone. You can ask questions, start discussion, brainstorm actions and get direct feedback from me as well. Plus, I’ll be keeping it open for an extra month while you learn to “fly solo” in your own life with all you’ve learned.

5. One Half Hour (+) mini Discovery Session with Me – This is where you’ll have the opportunity to get to the root of what’s been getting in your way. This can save you years of heartache and struggle. You’ll get new insights and you’ll also come away with an even better understanding of this process so you can do it with yourself at home. You’ll also receive an mp3 recording of your session if you choose.

6. MP3 Recordings of Weekly Sessions – Sometimes, it can be challenging to fully take in ALL that’s being shared during a call and it can be so valuable to be able to go back and listen again, allowing the insights to sink in even deeper. Having the recording can also free you up from taking notes and allow you to be more present during our time together.

7. A 50% Discount on Additional Discovery Sessions – for the duration of the program and for an additional month after it’s complete.

Plus, you get to make the program work for YOU!

This is the first ever offering of The Wisdom of Your Resistance Teleclass program. And because of that, I’m going to be seeking your input and advice on what you need, what order to do things in and what formats will work best for you.

So you get to help me create the program that will work the very best for you!

I’m only taking 25 students

That means you’ll have lots of opportunity to get personalized feedback, support and solutions from me and from the rest of the class in the forum.

However, if you’re hoping to be a little less “visible” in the program, that’s completely OK too. You can get all the lessons and materials and apply them on your own and still get HUGE value from this class.

My Guarantee

I’m certain that this program will show you how to see your resistance clearly and transform it with compassion – and all without a battle. You can try it for the first two weeks and apply what you’re learning and if it’s completely not working for you by the third teleclass, I’ll gladly give you a full refund.

And in case you were wondering…

You don’t have to have it all together to do this class. Quite the opposite in fact.

The more resistant you are and the harder you tend to be on yourself, the more this program will transform your life.

And you won’t have mountains of homework! This is about doing tiny things through your day that completely transform your inner experience. Our resistance loves to make tasks look like big barriers, so everything will be bite-sized and do-able!

And the brilliant thing about this process is that it’s designed to work even if you’re resisting the program itself!

What’s it costing you to stay stuck?

  • loss of self-esteem and the confidence to do other things
  • wasted time and energy, spinning your wheels
  • all the hours and days you walk around feeling bad instead of good, just because you know what you’re NOT doing
  • the joy that gets sucked out of the rest of your life and your relationships
  • not getting to contribute like you really want to
  • missing the chance to find out who YOU REALLY ARE
  • and all the aliveness that would come from being and doing what you’ve been dreaming of
