Unresolved grief may be the hidden reason mindset work, behavior change, and positive thinking never create lasting freedom. Grief recovery coach Vicki Hagadorn explains why survival patterns sit beneath self-sabotage, addiction, strained relationships, and the beliefs controlling your life.
After overcoming alcohol and drug addiction, a severe eating disorder, and years of hidden emotional pain, Vicki discovered the Grief Recovery Method. She now helps individuals and couples process loss, trauma, and major life transitions.
Vicki explains:
■ Why tens of thousands of dollars in therapy never reached the real root
■ How her parents' divorce triggered a physical crisis at 36
■ Why your nervous system may reject the mindset you are trying to build
■ What children learn when emotions are minimized at home
■ Why self-reliance eventually becomes another survival trap
■ The message she would leave behind if this were her final interview
