The Self Sovereign Method™: Reclaim Your Power at All Levels
You were born to be Sovereign.
But something's blocking you from accessing that power. Here's why you keep getting triggered, why boundaries feel impossible, you find it hard to sit with nuance, why you can't trust yourself - and the comprehensive approach that clears the way.
WHAT DOES IT MEAN TO BE
emotionally SOVEREIGN?
emotional sovereignty (n.)
/i-ˌmō-shə-nəl ˈsäv-rən-tē/
The ability to stay rooted in your authentic Self, even in the presence of trauma activations, emotional triggers, relational patterns, or inherited burdens.
A state of inner leadership where emotions are honored and understood—but not allowed to dominate your choices. Instead of reacting from fear or wounded parts, you respond from clarity, groundedness, and conscious intent.
The lived experience of directing your life from your truth, not from conditioning, survival patterns, or external expectations.
— “Once she reclaimed her emotional sovereignty, she stopped abandoning herself and started choosing from her deepest knowing.”
—Definition by Bethany Russell, MA, LPC — Founder of the Self Sovereign Method™
Freedom from the past
Your triggers don't control you. Your family's patterns, inherited trauma from your ancestral line, and even past life threads that have kept you stuck no longer dictate your choices. You respond from who you are NOW, not from inherited conditioning.
Mastery of your inner world
You recognize when parts of you are activated - the part that abandons yourself for others, the part that needs everything perfect, the part that shuts down when overwhelmed - and can tend to their needs while staying in your power.
trust in your authentic self
Your intuition becomes your superpower. Free from the noise of old patterns and people-pleasing, you can access your inner knowing and trust it completely.
You react before you have a chance to choose how you want to respond
Old patterns show up in moments when you need clarity most
Childhood wounds are still shaping how you relate, attach, or protect yourself
You lean on others’ opinions more than your own inner knowing
Stress or conflict pulls you into survival mode instead of grounded leadership
You override your intuition to keep the peace, avoid conflict, or stay “in control”
Unprocessed emotions surface at the worst possible times
Shadows you haven’t integrated still influence how you see yourself
Energetic or ancestral themes feel like they’re repeating through your life
You’ve outgrown versions of yourself you haven’t fully released yet

WHO AM I TO HELP YOU RECLAIM YOUR SOVEREIGNTY?
I know what it’s like to feel hijacked by old patterns—because I’ve lived it. After years of my own healing, I learned that true sovereignty requires tending to every layer of your system: the wounds from this lifetime, the patterns passed down through your lineage, and the soul-level themes that shape how you move through the world.
My training includes IFS (including direct training with founder Richard Schwartz in Costa Rica), EMDR, somatic healing, energy work, and spiritual practices. Over the past decade, I’ve integrated these into the Self Sovereign Method™ to help high-achievers reclaim inner leadership and trust themselves in ways traditional therapy alone often can’t reach.
Because when all levels of you heal—your parts, your emotions, your lineage, and your soul—you finally get to be free.
