The Link Between Personal Struggles and Psychic Blocks

Why do you struggle with confidence in your connection when life gets hard? What's the real connection between personal struggles and psychic blocks?

In this final episode of the five-part series, Crystal reveals why holding space for the whole person (not just teaching skills) is what's been missing from psychic development programs.

You'll discover why you can't separate your personal doubts from your psychic confidence, what actually happens when programs only focus on technique, and why treating you as a whole human being is what creates lasting transformation.

If you've learned the skills but still struggle to apply them because of doubt, limiting beliefs, or life challenges, this is why.

Questions Answered in This Episode:

• Why can't you separate personal struggles from psychic confidence?
• What happens when programs only teach skills without personal support?
• Why are you always harder on yourself than reality?
• How does self-doubt in life affect your ability to bring messages through?
• What's the connection between being seen in your struggles and trusting your abilities?

This is the fifth and final episode breaking down The Conscious Psychic™ Certification Program. You'll discover why Crystal refuses to niche down the support (despite business teachings saying she should), how everything in your life is connected to your psychic confidence, and why the most powerful thing she offers isn't just skill development but holding space for you as a whole person through all of it.

Welcome back to the podcast. Today we are wrapping up the fifth and final episode in the five part series where we're talking all about the Conscious Psychic Certification Program, how it is different than any other development program out there, how it's setting the standard for the industry and how it is really changing the way that we approach psychic work. I'm so excited about this. And what's interesting is that I had a different plan for this episode. I was planning to round this out in a vastly different way. And over the last many weeks of the program officially being out and open for the world and the weekly calls that we've been having inside the program with the students, one of the things that really became apparent to me, especially after yesterday's call, was why this episode needed to be focused on something entirely different, something I wasn't expecting. And yet something that it makes complete and total sense why it would be that. In the program, there's a plethora of different things, which if you haven't listened to the previous episodes, you can go check them out. But bottom line, the core components of the program are the curriculum, of course. It's five months worth of curriculum. So if you were to start and finish all the way through, it would be five straight months with every fourth week. as an integration week, meaning there's no new curriculum. are uh like new challenges every fourth week. So one challenge every fourth week and a practice assignment, but there's no new curriculum. So that gives you time to either catch up or spend more time integrating what you've already learned, give yourself some space and some breathing room. So there's that component of the program. There's also a live component of the program where every single week we are meeting on a live call on Zoom so that I can support you and answer your questions and talk about what's coming up for you, talk about areas that you're either struggling with or succeeding with or all of the things in between. There's also a community aspect where you get to come into the community and you get to commune with other students, you get to connect with other people. um Drop your questions in there and receive support in between our weekly live calls. And both the community and the weekly live calls, those are things that you don't lose access to. So even after you go through the program and receive your certification, you are still able to stay in the community. You're still able to show up on the weekly calls and receive that ongoing support. which I think is really beautiful. And there's actually an episode that's been devoted to why it's important for psychics to receive that support long after development. And there's just so many really beautiful opportunities inside this program to expand yourself, not just in skill, but in personal development as well. And that's one of the big pieces that's been missing from the industry. And one of the reasons why this program was so important to bring to the world is because we've got a lot of people out here doing wonderful things and feeling completely in confident, unconfident, how do you mean? A lack of confidence. Is that perhaps a better way to say it? People feeling like they aren't sure, they're doubting themselves, they're doubting their connection, they're doubting their abilities. And when you mix that in to the work that you are called to do in the world, it makes it really hard to succeed. It makes it really hard to feel like you even can succeed or you'll get there. And what I find a lot of times is that people are pushing on the door of what they think is actually preventing them from going through. And that's not even the door. That's not even the thing that's actually causing the issue or the block or the pattern, et cetera. I mean, even as connected as we are and as much as we love... as spiritual people to do shadow work and show up for ourselves in those various ways, we often are so close to the problem that we can't see clearly what it is that we need in order to move through it in a way that isn't us struggling and suffering and making it so much harder on ourselves. So I really love that that... This program provides the opportunity of not just the psychic development and the skills for that, but it also provides the skills that you need on a mind level, on an energy level, on a personal awareness level. Because when you bring those things in, you start to see what's actually happening. We think that we know our patterns until we really learn what it means to look at those, we always overanalyze too, by the way. We end up overanalyzing and that's a lot of times what leads us to the wrong door in trying to solve the problems for ourselves because we end up going down a path of thinking, oh, it's gotta be this, it's gotta be this, it's gotta be this, it's gotta be this, it's gotta be this. And oftentimes the answer is, it's just far simpler than we would ever imagine. Because when we are in, self-doubt, when we are in confusion, when we are in a space feeling of lack or inefficiency or just like a comparison, right, of not seeing ourselves as equal to someone else who's maybe out in the world doing this work, it clouds our ability to see that we're not as far away from where we want to be as we think that we are. We always are much harder on ourselves and it's a lot more difficult to analyze where we are. So teaching those skills inside of the program so that you can truly be well-rounded in how you approach this. can truly finally overcome those shadow areas that are causing the self-doubt, those areas that are constantly keeping you repeating the same patterns and habits, those areas that are constantly feeling like I can't get through this block no matter what I do. I just can't break through the wall. teaching you exactly how to approach those things and creating that level of clarity and awareness within yourself, it is going to massively impact your connection a million times over. It makes everything clear. So I just love that that is what the program is offering. Much more, much more beyond psychic development. Psychic development is actually the easy part, the skill. for connecting is actually the easy part. So I really, really enjoy that. And I thought today's episode was gonna be one that kind of talked about what you could do with your skills and what this program will provide you the capabilities of. But really, it's morphed into this realization of a very cornerstone piece of this program that I just... have it in there because I love it and I want that for people and that's just who I am and it's really turned into this awareness that this is probably the most powerful piece of the entire program by far and that is my ability to hold space. for you. And it's so funny because as those words come out of my mouth, I'm like, oh my God, like we hear all the time and we're like, hold space, hold space, what is holding space? And you know, what does that really even mean? But I want to give a real life example. I am so incredibly proud of one of the students in the program because they'd reached out to me privately with um just some doubts and limiting beliefs and uh a lack of confidence that they were experiencing. And I challenged them to be willing to be witnessed and to be seen and to be vulnerable that this was part of the first step. Because so often we think like, okay, if I'm feeling this way, I just need the solution. And it's gonna be an action that feels very, very closely related to what I'm struggling with. And so if I'm feeling doubt in my connection, then the solution is going to be, I need to go do something with my connection. And that is just normal way human brains work because we want to try to link together. Like we wanna relate things. And so we just think it's like, that's gonna be, this is like what I'm talking about, right? Like we try to go through a door that's not actually the door that's gonna get us to where we need to go. And so she had reached out and I, you know, Responded back and was just like, okay, this is gonna sound strange and it's gonna sound unrelated but I promise you it connects and This is the first step. It's sharing what you've just shared with me verbatim in the community where everyone can see and then paying attention to Everything that comes up from that. What are you thinking about? when you think about the idea of putting this out here publicly, what are you thinking? What's coming up for you when you're talking about um like your doubts and your lack of confidence or your struggles, the things that you're struggling with. And you think of other people seeing this, you think of new people coming in and seeing it when they get in. And then that's like, oh my God, that's the first thing that I'm seeing for this first, like pay attention. to everything that your mind does over the next few days and write it down. And I have got to give this student massive props because most people would take that assignment and go, but that's not the answer that I'm looking for. That doesn't solve the problem that I said that I have where I feel like my connection isn't clear. I want that answer. I want that solution. And she did not do that. She did exactly as assigned. She copy pasted it and put it in word for word in the community. And the reason why I was sharing with her to put it word for word is because you don't want your brain to have any opportunity to edit. I wanted her to see everything that came up. All of her thoughts, all of her feelings, everything that it stirred with inside of her because if we're editing it, What we're doing is we're trying to protect ourselves from feeling the discomfort, which also protects ourselves from getting to the solution. It actually prevents ourselves from getting to the solution. And she did it. And it was massively transformational for her, just that alone. She was able to see all the ways that her brain was showing up, all the things that it stirred within her, all of the stuff that was really coming up from doing this and being so vulnerable and being witnessed in that vulnerability. And she wrote back and said that it had been a very healing process for her because in doing this, she also was able to start seeing some patterns and start seeing some clarity around What was driving this and where was this coming from and why was this showing up for her and continuing to show up for her because this is something that she has experienced before she came into the program. And then we had our weekly live call. And this, this is the cherry on top. because she'd gone through step one and step one was willing to put herself out there and approach the confidence piece head on. the worry about what other people are gonna think or how am I comparing myself? um How are they comparing me, et cetera. And then the second piece we handled live on the call. And I walked her through this intuitive tapping process where in the beginning we tapped on just letting her let all of it out, like air it all out. Tell me all the things that are not working that aren't going well, that you're doubting, you're feeling confusion around, you're struggling with whatever. just dump it all out, get it all out, just say it while we tap. And we did that. And then we paused for a moment and I supported her with some guidance and coaching on some of the things that came through for her as far as like patterns or loops or places that were going to keep her stuck if she kept thinking that way. And I gave her different ways to actually see it because a lot of times, It's hard for ourselves to see a situation differently and it's easier for someone else to see the other side to give us that opportunity of another viewpoint. And then after that, we started tapping again and I said, I want you to share with me all of the ways that your connection is actually working. all of the ways that you actually trust yourself, because that was another thing that had come up. And it was incredible, incredible because here was this person that less than a week before, less than even like five days before had messaged me, energy was super low, feeling really down and defeated. And like there was something wrong with her. Like, why can't I just do it like this other person in the program? Why can't I be successful at this? Why can't I? et cetera. telling herself and feeling very much like, yeah, my connection is not working. It's not clear. I don't know what's going on. Like I can't get clarity. It's just getting worse, et cetera. And then coming into awareness, clearing those things out and then coming into awareness of all the ways that those things that she was thinking were literally just her mind. And this is so normal, so normal. I have been there a million times over where I am struggling with something and my brain is just a downright asshole. Like it's super hard on me, it's super negative, it's super just like down in the dumps and it can't see its way out. I've been there so often, which was why it was so powerful to be able to hold that space for her completely free of judgment, completely free of, you should be here or you should be there. And just being like, yeah, absolutely. I understand why you feel the way that you feel, where you're coming from. And now let's see what is actually going on here. Like what's, what is making this? Is it truly that the connection has clouded? Or is it that there's something else going on with the mind, the mind's kind of like beating you up and creating the doubt and the confusion? 90 % of the time, it is the mind. And so when it's the mind, now it's about, how do we work with that to help you see what's actually going on here? And when she started tapping and telling me all of the ways, that her connection was showing up for her and all the ways that it was showing up in practice sessions and all the ways that it was showing up just like in random conversations and all the ways that it was showing up in her everyday life like all of these things it just started coming and coming and coming and coming and coming out and by the end of it it was like oh my god my connection is actually clear it's actually getting stronger I'm trusting it more I actually trust myself And I can see the ways that I've either self-sabotaged, which is totally normal, we all go through that too, or the ways that I've believed my brain instead, or the ways that I've placed other people's opinions over my own, like inner knowing and inner strength. And so anchoring her back into that space of self-trust, of clarity, of understanding the truth. about who she is and how amazing she is and how clear her connection is and how capable she is and how she's already exhibiting that in so many areas of her life, which is incredible. That, that is what I mean when I talk about holding space. Allowing you to come to the table with all of your shit and you're gonna feel like this is embarrassing or I don't wanna share this or oh people are going to think things about me and I'm here to tell you that first of all, if they do, well, I do not. I don't encourage that kind of behavior in my spaces, nor do I allow that. And if they do, they've got a lot of work to do on themselves. but also it's all welcome. Because having a confident, clear connection is not just about your connection. It's about you becoming the person that can trust yourself and trust what's coming through, whether it's for you or for other people. And you can be anchored by that. You can feel grounded in it. And not just in what's coming through, but in who you are in the world. being grounded and anchored in that, knowing yourself, loving yourself in all aspects, during the times when you feel shitty and negative about yourself and you're down on yourself and you're hard on yourself and you're beating yourself up, and during the times when you feel amazing and everywhere in between. That is what this is about. It's about meeting you where you are and helping you get where you want to go in a place that offers you safety, freedom of judgment, and support. And I think after witnessing the interactions and the conversations and the things that have come up on the weekly calls over this last month since the program's been open, and especially after yesterday's call. There was just no other thing that this episode could have been about beyond holding space. Because the truth is, is that we're humans and no matter how connected we are, we're going to have life shit and we're going to have lessons and challenges and blessings and opportunities. And there are going to be doubts and there's going to be confusion and there's going to be... patterns and habits that show up along the way in all areas of our life. And none of it is off limits. Not inside my program, that's for sure. We cover it all. We talk about it all. I support you through all of it because it all matters. It's all connected. If you struggle to feel confident in being seen and witnessed and held in your struggles, you're also going to struggle. feeling confident in your connection, in bringing messages through that m maybe it's not gonna be well received by someone else. Or maybe they're a skeptic. Or maybe it's a tough love kind of message that's coming through and it's not what they wanna hear. It's gonna impact that. Everything is connected. So it's so important that this is provided and I never thought... that this would be something that would stand out the way that it has. Because I'm just someone that, loved my one-on-one client work so much. Leaving that has been, I can't even begin to say, probably the biggest, the biggest resistance that I have experienced thus far in my business has been the resistance of leaving one-on-one. to step into a group program because I just, love being able to support in every way, shape and form. Like I love being able to be there, to guide, to make it easier for you to get where you wanna go so that you're not spinning your wheels and going, I just... I keep trying this door and I tried that door and I tried that door and I can't seem to get through this. What am I missing? I can close that gap and I can help you through that right then and there so that you're not spending days and weeks and months and years spinning over the same thing over and over and over again. And I just, that's just who I am. I just added it because it's just who I am. I'm like, I can't not have it this way. can't have a lot of uh teachings will teach you that, you know, if you're going to create a group program, if you have a live aspect, it needs to be very uh niche down, so to speak. Like it needs to be very focused on this is the thing that we talk about in here and we don't talk about other things. And I say, fuck that. because I am dealing with the whole. I am working with you as a whole person. And that is why this program is so important because it doesn't just focus on the skill development of psychic intuitive connectivity. It focuses on you as a whole person so that you don't go through and learn something. And then you try to go out in the world and apply it and you've got all this other shit coming up for you. All these doubts and disbeliefs and limiting beliefs and blocks and like just all the stuff that if you can't get through that, it doesn't do you any good to have the skill. Because you can't go out there and do with it in the world what you are called to do. So that's why I love this program so much. That's why I love holding space. supporting in this way. And that's why it had to be the fifth and final episode in this little five-part series about the Conscious Psychic Certification Program. So if that's something that you feel inspired by, called to, one last thing. This keeps tickling at me to say, I want to encourage you right now, if there's something in your life, whether it's with your connection or anything else, if you are feeling really down and hard on yourself. and you're telling yourself these are all the ways that it's not working or these are all the ways that I'm struggling. These are all the ways that I am not successful or whatever. These are all the ways that this is a problem. Call a friend. Or if you wanna like really go at it, do this for yourself, but force yourself to think of all the ways that it's actually working. All the ways that it's going right. All the ways that... You're not the way that you think that you are. And that can be hard. And that's why we walked it through with the student the way that we did. was like, get all of the shit out first. Like talk about it. Literally, air the negativity. Like by all means, let's talk about it. Because otherwise we're just continuously stuffing it down. And then, okay, now that we've gotten that out of our system, so our brain is not like constantly focused on Yeah, but, yeah, but, yeah, but. When we're listing the positives. Now, let's look at it from this other lens and let's see what we can come up with. And the thing is, is I didn't even have to prompt this person. She was able to say those things on her own, but it was because she had that guidance there to say, the door that you're trying to go through to fix this is not the door. This is how you go through. This is the direction that you go to overcome this. And here's how we can do it step by step. And that shifted everything. So it's always worse in our mind than what it is. And that is just the way that our brains are skewed towards negativity. They're skewed towards seeing it in the opposite light. And it takes work to train our brains to skew towards the positive, especially when it's just like coming towards ourself. It's work. So if this is something that you feel called to, I am delighted to welcome you inside. You can click the link in the show notes below, get all the details, and come join us.
