Have you ever opened your refrigerator, stared at the mustard and a half-dead lemon, closed it, and then walked back to open it again ten minutes later?

Your conscious mind knows the fridge’s contents didn’t magically change. But you keep checking anyway, hoping your standards have dropped low enough that a spoonful of leftover condiments will finally satisfy your hunger.

Constantly refreshing your phone for a text from that one specific person is the exact same thing.

There is a name for this agonizing, exhausting, dopamine-chasing loop. It’s called limerence.

Right now you’re posting stories that you hope will charm them into engaging with you, monitoring their social media for new followers so you can see your competition, and diving headlong into YouTube astrology to figure out how to seduce them based on their placements.

You mute their stories. You unfollow them. You try to develop a crush on someone else.

And that’s when they randomly reach out!

Their attention turns your lifeforce up to eleven before they ghost you again, and now you have to start detaching all over. Except this time you feel even more foolish and ashamed, more unworthy of love, and a little bit older and more jaded.

Meanwhile, the fantasy of being with them takes the edge off the discomfort of being alone without actually meeting your connection needs.

The hidden drivers of these cycles of obsession are rooted in unresolved grief. That’s right. The anxiety you’re feeling is grief.

This stuff is so deeply subconscious that it can’t be resolved through willpower or positive affirmations.
But it also doesn’t require you to hire a hypnotist… or an exorcist.

You can learn how to uncover the patterns in your subconscious mind, stop magnifying another person into the solution to your problems, and pour your energy back into the neglected areas of your own life.

This is exactly what I teach in my $47 mini course, No One Is Above You: How to Stop Putting Others on a Pedestal and Own Your Greatness (lynx in bayou)

Grabbing your shins in a backbend won’t open your heart and heal the trauma that has you feeling incapable of love.

I know you’ve been practicing yoga daily for years, maybe decades, because you believe your practice contains healing powers that will mend what you think is broken about you.

But after all those years of dedication, you still feel cold, unlovable, and incapable of having healthy relationships.

The proof shows when you keep repeating the same toxic patterns in relationships. You still shut down at the slightest hint of criticism, even when it comes from your best friend who loves you. You still treat your feelings, needs, and boundaries like a burden to other people.

Something is clearly missing.
You were taught “practice and all is coming,” as if somehow the limbs beyond asana would sort themselves out through osmosis and yoga would transform your behavior the way it transformed your body.

But self-love and solid boundaries aren’t hidden inside third series.
Your practice on the mat is an important nervous system regulation practice. It grounds your worried, overstimulated mind into the present moment.

The mistake is thinking that peaceful state is the goal, or that it will become permanent once you finally master kapotasana.

The wound is deeper than your body. It lives in your subconscious.

And until you address it there, you’ll keep repeating the behaviors that reflect it.

You’ll keep choosing people who reinforce your unworthiness. You’ll keep running from criticism because some part of you believes it means the person you love will leave. You’ll keep struggling to ask for what you need and say no without shame.

There is no amount of asana practice that will unlearn that for you.

You need tools that help you uncover the subconscious patterns running your behavior and actually reprogram them.

When you do that, you can learn to recognize and invest in healthy relationships, ask for what you need without shame, see red flags as red, and say no when something is a no for you.

Which came more easily for you: learning to put your leg behind your head or learning to say no without guilt?

You know your yoga teacher, jiu jitsu professor, coach, celebrity crush or wildly successful friend is a human just like you. But somehow you start treating their needs like they’re more important than yours. Their opinion carries more weight. You give them time you don’t have. You overlook behavior you’d question in anyone else. And when they inevitably reveal themselves to be imperfect, you feel betrayed and duped.

Everyone knows we shouldn’t put people on pedestals, but no one talks about why we do it.

The usual advice is to humanize them. Notice their flaws. Remember they get sick and make typos and gossip sometimes.

But if that worked, you wouldn’t still be abandoning yourself for people you consciously know are human.

Because the pattern isn’t conscious.
There are subconscious reasons you decided this person is somehow more whole, worthy, powerful, beautiful or important than you. Maybe they embody traits you don’t recognize in yourself. Maybe being close to them meets a need to feel important, worthy, included or special. Maybe their approval temporarily quiets a core wound that says you’re not enough.

So you keep trying to get from THEM what your subconscious believes you cannot provide for yourself.

That’s why simply reminding yourself they have flaws doesn’t resolve the pattern.

You have to uncover what you’ve assigned to this person and begin reprogramming the beliefs, meeting the unmet needs and re-claiming your disowned traits that built the pedestal.

When you resolve this at the subconscious level, that’s when you’ll stop handing over your time just because they ask for it. You’ll stop waiting for someone impressive to make you feel worthy. And you can admire extraordinary people without making yourself smaller beside them because you will be fully in touch with the specific ways in which YOU are extraordinary too!

If you’re tired of idealizing people only to feel devastated when they fall from grace, I can teach you how to work with & resolve the subconscious patterns driving this cycle inside my mini course, No One Is Above You: How to Stop Putting People on Pedestals and Own Your Greatness.

A weird guy harassed you in the grocery store parking lot and you found yourself being polite to him!

You resorted to fawning, attempting to appease this stranger as a means of getting him to not hurt you and leave you alone. You managed to get away, but now you can’t stop ruminating over why you defaulted to being polite to someone who was actually a threat to your safety, instead of asserting strong boundaries in the moment.

First of all, thank God you got away. Take a moment to appreciate that your natural defense mechanism actually helped you get to safety this time. Your biology kicked in to do its job of keeping you alive. Nice work, nervous system!

But now you decide your threat response system needs an upgrade, so you start taking self defense classes.

Situational awareness, rehearsing boundary scripts, learning to fight, and getting permission to be loud and shout when someone oversteps your boundaries are essential parts of self defense.

But if you have unresolved emotional trauma from the past, you may be subconsciously running old programming that says: I don’t matter. Other people’s feelings, needs and comfort matter more than me. Or I’m bad and don’t deserve consideration. Or If I assert myself here it could cause a scene and then I’ll be embarrassed.

If you have this kind of wounded, codependent programming, none of your self defense training will be enough to protect you from freezing when the new guy you’re dating pressures you to be intimate before you’re ready, your boss asks you to stay late when you’re already past your limit, or someone is suddenly in your face saying vulgar things to you.

Learning how to choke someone unconscious using only your legs is excellent!

But in order to truly trust that you’ll be assertive in real time, you have to reprogram your fear, guilt, and shame patterns at their roots.

Because when you do, that’s what will put you deeply in touch with your innate value as a person, with a precious human life, who has gifts and a presence that is needed in this world.

You are important.

You are worthy of consideration.

And you are worth defending.

“They should know” is a major red flag to watch out for in yourself.

When you need something that feels like it should be obvious to the people around you, but they are oblivious.

You feel frustrated, angry and hurt by the inconsiderate people in your life who are supposed to love you, who you never ask for anything, and whose feelings and needs you are constantly prioritizing without them even having to ask.

And it feels too vulnerable for you to say what you need directly, so resentment just builds inside you.

And… your dental bills are very high because you grind your teeth at night. Or you lose your temper and criticize people for being selfish and unsupportive, or you have emotional affairs, or you ghost people who were your friends.

We would all be better off getting it out of our heads that people should just know what we want and need without having to communicate.

If someone isn’t doing what you want, it’s because either they don’t know, or they forgot, or they can’t.

In any case, communicating to the people in your life is the only way anyone will have the information they need to take your feelings, needs, preferences, desires, & boundaries into consideration and meet them if they’re able to do so.

This requires us to be vulnerable.

Vulnerability starts to feel safe when you begin healing your insecure attachment style.

This involves neutralizing the wounded core beliefs that keep you feeling that it’s shameful to want things, or that if you have to ask it feels like rejection because that means they don’t really love you.

In order to be taken into consideration by other people, it is necessary to first consider yourself.

When you reprogram your core wounds, you’ll stop fearing that having preferences is selfish, or that asking for support makes you a burden.

With practice you can normalize communicating your needs and discover just how delighted people are to show up for you. And how near at hand the love, support and belonging you’ve longed for has always been.

I know right now you think:
I just have a bad partner picker.
Dating just sucks.
Everyone ghosts now.
Men are the problem.
Women are the problem.
I have anxiety.
I just need confidence.

You stay up late asking chatGPT questions like:
“Do I actually love my partner or just care about them?”
“Why do I lose interest as soon as a relationship becomes official?”
“Signs your partner really loves you even if they don’t show it.”
Or, “How to control your emotions when your partner doesn’t text back.”

And the answers give you context and ideas, but they don’t actually bring about real change. So, you stay lonely or in frustrating relationships, and you never feel the happiness that you see other people experiencing.

What you want more than anything in the world is fulfilling love, and someone you can build with.

You keep looking outward, but the answers you seek are actually inside of you. You have agency in these situations, you just don’t know how to access it...yet.

Once you understand how the difficulties in your relationships are rooted in your attachment style, you’ll see the specific programming you’re running subconsciously that is causing you to repeat painful relationship patterns.
From there, you can learn the subconscious reprogramming tools to interrupt those patterns by healing your relationship blueprint that you’ve been working from without realizing it.

Then you’ll start to invest in relationships with partners who can hear and understand you, resolve conflicts with healthy communication, release resentment, restore intimacy, and finally experience the love, safety & dignity in your relationships that had felt so elusive before.

You don’t have to settle for a frustrating or lonely love life, you have the power to reprogram your subconscious mind for healthy relationships. It starts with learning your attachment style so you can start getting your subconscious programming aligned with your conscious mind’s desires.

Take the free attachment style test linked in my bio to begin learning about your relationship blueprint, and how you can change it.

Everyone knows we shouldn’t put people on pedestals but no one talks about why we do this or how to avoid it. The best advice most people give for stopping this pattern is to try to humanize the person you’re idolizing by paying attention to their flaws, their occasional typos, their tendency to gossip or be contentious, the way they get sick sometimes.

But if this worked, you wouldn’t still be abandoning yourself and your own priorities for them – at great cost to your own life.

When you pedestalize your teachers, you’re so focused on their brilliant qualities that you become blind to the darker parts of their humanity, and this causes you to overlook red flags in their behavior. Teachers are human beings just like the rest of us. They need to be called out when they start to lose their way while there is still time to course correct.

When you have your teacher on a pedestal this becomes impossible because even if you do see the red flags, it feels WAY too risky to address them directly. You fear losing not only your access to what they’re teaching, but also to the parts of your identity that you’re unconsciously sourcing in your relationship to them. In other words, calling them out feels like certain death. So of course you choose to look away and avoid confronting them.

But when you can do the subconscious healing work and integrate the traits within yourself that magnetize you to them, and meet the deeply unmet needs that your subconscious mind sees them as a source or potential source of… that’s what actually empowers you to remove them from the pedestal and elevate yourself up out of the pit so you can meet on common ground with a fellow human being, and actually participate in an empowered teacher-student relationship.

I will teach you how to do this psychic hygiene. Visit my bio to find the link to my course: No One is Above You.

09/10/2026

You learned that as a woman who pursues career ambitions, solves problems independently, and takes initiative, you’re operating in “masculine energy,” and you think that’s why you attract inconsistent men who expect princess treatment.

So you try to restore polarity by acting feminine: leaning back, being submissive, and keeping your opinions and preferences to yourself, hoping a committed masculine man will swoop in and save you.

Instead, you attract men who don’t mind that they never get to know the real you. They like that you don’t question their questionable boundaries with their kids’ mom, or that you go with the flow because it’s comfortable for them, even though you value clarity and intentionality. So you never feel secure or loved for who you are because you never feel seen and known.

Your ambition, independence, and drive are not the reason you attract men who want to be chased, or the reason you chase them.

What’s actually at play are wounded core beliefs about your worthiness of love, connection, safety and protection.

When you reprogram the core wounds that tell you you’re unlovable, meet your own needs for protection, attention, and consistency, and integrate the masculine traits that make you feel the need to perform femininity, then you can show up as the warm, open, sensual woman that you are.

And I can hear you saying, “but… Rachel…”

No. Integrating masculine traits and meeting your own needs won’t make you more masculine and repellant to healthy men. Quite the opposite. Healthy men like women who are self-protective and express their preferences. Healthy men prefer women who treat themselves with the respect they expect from others.

Feeling safe and chosen means allowing yourself to be seen and known, with all your preferences and quirks. That doesn’t happen through a mask of performed femininity.

When you’re ready to learn the subconscious inner work to integrate your masculine and feminine traits in a healthy way so you can attract a healthy partner with whom you can build a rich life, that’s when you hire me.

Your trauma is not literally stored in your hips.

And that doesn’t mean the shaking, crying, heat, trembling, or emotional release you experienced during yoga, massage, breathwork, or somatic practice wasn’t real.
It means that you’re drawing the wrong conclusion about what actually happened there.

When a subconscious wound gets triggered, your brain interprets something in the present through the lens of past experience. That can create an emotional response accompanied by very real physiological changes.

Stress hormones and neurotransmitters are released. Your nervous system prepares you to respond to a perceived threat. Your breathing changes. Your jaw clenches. Your shoulders rise. Your stomach tightens. You brace.

When you do this repeatedly for years, you develop deeply rehearsed patterns of tension and guarding.

So when you finally slow down enough to notice what’s happening inside your body, or a yoga posture, massage, breath practice, or other somatic experience interrupts enough of that habitual bracing, you may suddenly experience sensations and emotions you normally suppress, distract yourself from, or simply don’t notice.

The holding was about keeping you safe, so the release can feel scary.

But experiencing an emotional release in a hip opener doesn’t mean grief was literally stored inside your hip waiting to escape, and now that it’s out you’re done with it.

The physical pattern and the emotional pattern can be connected without the muscle being a storage container for the emotion.

This distinction matters because releasing tension may feel profound, but if the subconscious belief that keeps triggering the emotional and physiological response remains unchanged, your nervous system will simply recreate the pattern.

That’s why you can cry in pigeon pose on Sunday and find your shoulders creeping toward your ears again by Tuesday.

This doesn’t mean there is anything wrong with you.

You’re just responding to what your subconscious mind still believes it must protect you from.

And that’s why lasting change requires us to work with the conditioned patterns underneath the tension, not just the place where the tension happens to show up.
