Encouraging CASIGYs

Encouraging CASIGYs (Creative, Aware, Super-sensitive, Intense, Gifted You-s!) 

  • often starts with helping them cope with discouragement, sensitivity, depression or anxiety.
  • proceeds with helping them heal from the hurts left behind by whatever caused the distress, and
  • wraps up with helping them discover a sense of positive purpose, develop a vision and finally, fulfill their mission in life.

Featured Quote

Consider beginning to honor the resistance, consider getting to know the critic. The critic holds very valuable information. The critic holds our deepest fears; resistance shows us we are on the right track. If we shift our perspective, the critic can be seen as trying to spare us the pain of change, the shame of fear. Our critic discourages us from doing things which are perceived as dangerous.
