About

This episode highlights helpful ways to tend to our selves, reclaim power, and perhaps help us soothe our selves when we don’t have the power to change our situation. My guest, Dr. Jane Tornatore is a Therapist & Speaker Seattle, WA. A recovering perfectionist, she knows the pain of being bogged down by old beliefs and never quite measuring up to expectations. She supports people in converting outdated patterns and stress into more freedom, joy, and authenticity that come from being gentler with the self and living more from the heart.  We recorded this episode in February 2020. I’ve been holding onto it given all that’s been uprooted in the world. Contextually, the world was different when we recorded this episode and I wonder how a world filled with pandemic and uprising might have altered the core our discussion.    RESOURCES: Find Jane online at EveryDayLove.me and at DoctorTornatore.com  Grab a copy of Jane’s book Everything is PERFECT, Just not ME!: A Roadmap to Self-Acceptance   Learn more about my connectfulness counseling practice at connectfulness.com/work-with-me.  Supporting Your Relational Self is a 6-week online group for women starting later this month. Our focus is on your relationship to your Self, your other intimate relations, and we’ll explore core issues that affect us all in relationships and the skills that will expand your Self & relational care practices.  You also may recall that just before quarantine I gathered with Terry Real and fellow Certified Relational Life Therapists for an in depth training. I’m now an authorized Relational Bootcamp Facilitator and this fall I’ll begin offering 2-day weekend Relational Bootcamps. I am planning my first Bootcamp Workshop for the Fall of 2020 online via zoom (so you can join from anywhere you have internet). I’ll post more information on my offerings/events page and you're welcome to send me a note if you want me to reach out with details when available.   This podcast is not a substitute for counseling with a licensed provider.
