Have you ever noticed how certain thoughts or beliefs seem to repeat in your mind, almost on autopilot? These “stories” we tell ourselves—often originating from family patterns, early experiences, or deeply ingrained cultural expectations—can subtly shape our decisions, our confidence, and even our physical well-being. For many, these patterns fuel self-doubt, perfectionism, and what’s commonly referred to as imposter syndrome. But the good news is that these stories are not set in stone. With awareness, intentional practice, and the right tools, we can rewrite them, releasing blocks and opening the way for personal growth and goal realization.

How Our Bodies Hold Self-Doubt

Modern neuroscience and psychophysiology show us that the mind and body are deeply interconnected. Repetitive negative thoughts, such as “I’m not enough” or “I can’t succeed,” create stress in the nervous system and impact our organ systems. Chronic stress can lead to imbalances in the endocrine, digestive, and cardiovascular systems, which in turn affect energy, focus, and emotional regulation. Bioenergetic research suggests that unresolved emotions and repetitive thought patterns can manifest as tension, stiffness, or fatigue in specific regions of the body, effectively “holding” the story of doubt within us.

The Science Behind Rewriting Our Stories

Our program, The Stories We Tell Ourselves, integrates several evidence-based methods to address these deeply rooted patterns:

1. The BioEnergetic Wellness Formula
This approach recognizes that the body’s energy systems are not just metaphors—they influence mood, clarity, and action. By identifying areas where energy is blocked or stagnant, we can target specific interventions to restore flow, allowing the body and mind to work in harmony. Research in energy medicine and psychophysiology supports that intentional movements, focused breathing, and mindful awareness can shift these patterns and create measurable improvements in emotional and physical balance.

2. Goal Setting with Flow and Intention
Neuroscience shows that goal setting and visualization activate the prefrontal cortex, improving executive function and decision-making. When combined with the release of self-limiting beliefs and embodied awareness, goal setting becomes more than just a cognitive exercise—it becomes a holistic practice that aligns mind, body, and energy systems, supporting real-world results.

3. Awareness and Activation Practices
Movement-based activations—rooted in Tai Chi, Qi Gong, and bioenergetic techniques—stimulate circulation, nervous system regulation, and somatic awareness. These practices help participants notice where tension and doubt reside in the body, allowing energy to flow and new perspectives to emerge. Studies in somatic therapy suggest that body-focused interventions can accelerate the release of long-held emotional blocks, increasing resilience and confidence.

4. Intuitive Insights
Facilitating with Dr Michelle Greenwell, CIH BioEW, is Theresa Stone, an intuitive medium. She contributes personalized guidance that uncovers hidden aspects of personality and patterns that may be holding participants back. While not purely scientific, research in psychology supports that reflective and externalized perspectives—especially those that provide validation or new insight—can improve self-awareness, decision-making, and emotional regulation.

5. The Power of Journaling
Multiple studies highlight the cognitive and physiological benefits of journaling. Writing about emotions and personal narratives can reduce stress, clarify priorities, and reframe negative beliefs. Journaling helps solidify insights gained from activation exercises and intuitive guidance, making the learning experience both reflective and actionable. How do you move yourself forward with journaling, we will share the best approaches to create that momentum.

Empowerment Through Awareness and Action

Together, Michelle Greenwell and Theresa Stone guide participants through a process that is uniquely integrative. By combining bioenergetic techniques, mindful movement, guided introspection, and personalized insights, the program empowers participants to:

• Release repetitive self-doubt and family-imposed limitations
• Restore balance to the body’s energy and organ systems
• Set clear, aligned intentions for personal and professional goals
• Gain new self-awareness and insights that propel growth

This is not just a program about self-reflection—it’s a science-informed path to creating measurable change in thought patterns, energy flow, and life direction. Participants leave with tools that are practical, empowering, and transformative, ready to approach life with a new compass and a sense of inner balance.
