We recently connected with Theresa Vargo and have shared our conversation below.

Theresa, thanks for joining us, excited to have you contributing your stories and insights. What did your parents do right and how has that impacted you in your life and career?

My parents showed me how painful relationships could be. They married and divorced 7 times between them. I began my nuptials the same way, in the back of my mind if it doesn’t work it’s no big deal I can just get a divorce. I had no sense of truly investing in someone’s heart and understanding their pain.
I had one foot in and one foot out. Some of the most painful years of my life.

As always, we appreciate you sharing your insights and we’ve got a few more questions for you, but before we get to all of that can you take a minute to introduce yourself and give our readers some of your back background and context?

I work with individuals and couples experiencing painful patterns in love and in life. Our pain will contaminate most areas of our life. We start our journey together by discovering how it begins and the seeds of pain get planted. We unpack and create new tools at the same time. I hold an incredible container for discovery and accountability to the process. I ask for three months commitment to produce big change and even transformations. My brand is all about intimacy to self :
Self-love
Self-care
Self-regulation
Learning intimate details about your trauma ans learning about the shadows.

How about pivoting – can you share the story of a time you’ve had to pivot?

I left a 30-year film-photography career to begin to explore my intuition and clairvoyant abilities that felt suppressed behind the camera. I felt unseen and overworked. I wanted to learn how to be in the world without the camera. I had been shooting since I was 13 when I got my first canon gear from a drug deal gone bad…. Feel free to ask more about that!
My dad was a cociane dealer 🙃

We often hear about learning lessons – but just as important is unlearning lessons. Have you ever had to unlearn a lesson?

I had to unravel years of relationship templates handed down to me.

How to be loved
How to be cared for
How to stop giving so much to others for the ex change if feeling valued.
How to mend my fractures from years of childhood abuse and trauma.
How to have boundaries
How to speak my truth
How to stand in my power
How to connect to the source of my beliefs
