Happiness & The Art of Being Happy

Recently I was asked to contribute to an article on happiness and its connection to physical exercise. Interestingly enough, this is a topic I have been investigating and setting as top priority for myself too at the beginning of this year.  Clients often ask me: “What will make me happy? How can I make people around me happy?” In a time in which I am surfacing the waves of change, I am daily challenging myself and asking: “Elisabetta, in this third stage of life, do you really want to be happy or not?”  In order to choose and decide, we need first to know what is happiness ..read more

How to manage the relationship with a narcissist? Just before Covid -19 pandemia impacted our life, I remember Jesus Sanfiz Nou, a well-known psychologist based in Barcelona, saying:  “Elisabetta, why don’t you build a workshop or a training programme and teach how to recognise and manage ‘narcissism’? Today it is such an important topic. You have been surrounded and challenged by several narcissists in your life: in family of origin, marriage, and in the world of work and friendships too.   You have well-survived to all and now you live a life of freedom and joy, something that ..read more

The consequences in different areas of our human life Let’s start with what characterizes a narcissist. the recurring characteristics in a pathological narcissist are varied: feelings of emptiness, boredom, and emotional anesthesia. Narcissists are often portrayed as charming, confident and proud, convincing and excellent communicators. Just look at some of the leaders who rule our world today! Let’s not forget that one of the most common characteristics of narcissism and its communication is … manipulation.

Let's Talk About Sex Baby

I’ve been wanting to talk about this topic for a while, sexuality is an important aspect in our lives and relationships that’s often avoided for societal, familial and many other reasons.  In his article ‘Sex is Everywhere, Just Don’t Talk About It’, Michael J. Rasser says, “We will all be living in the dark shadows until we can talk about sex openly and authentically…” Given all the negative messages that most of us received about sex when we were young, it’s no surprise we rarely talk about sex in an overt setting. Unfortunately, a lack of informative sex education means most of us ..read more

Solitude: The Road Less Travelled

Solitude: The Road Less Travelled A few years ago, my daughter gave me two books for Christmas, both covering the same topic: solitude. At that time, I still didn’t feel or see the value of solitude, in fact, I couldn’t stand it at all, even though I was thrust into it unwillingly over many years. I perceived solitude to be a sort of curse but my daughter, who was observing from the outside in, saw it as a blessing that had arrived after my divorce. Not too long ago, she said to me, “Mum, if you and dad had not split, you’d never have had the chance to integrate everything that you learned in ..read more

What is the Difference Between a Healthy or Toxic Relationship?

I recently attended a group gathering called ‘Circle of Men’ in Barcelona. It’s linked to a non-profit organisation, ManKind Project, that I got to know several years ago in Singapore, and which I introduced my male clients to when I was working as a couple counselor and relationship coach.  One of the more senior men within the group, originally from Mexico, opened the circle by sharing the reason why the ManKind Project came to be back in the 80’s. Women were very interested in and prone to engaging in self-growth, development and empowerment work, whilst men were still so far from the ..read more

The Empath: The Opposite of Narcisissm

Having recently written two articles on the topic of Narcissism and Egocentrism, I told myself I thought it would be good to balance things out and start writing something on its polarity. So this article’s focal point is the empath, or the empathic structure. I always recognised a lot of myself in the definition of an empath even though for many years I didn’t know much about it. So it has been a great opportunity to learn about myself first and now finding pleasure in my ability and platform to share it with others. There are several common traits unifying empathic people, one of which is th ..read more

Is Narcissism the Same as Egocentrism?

Confidence, Narcissism and Self-Centredness Let’s start with a true story… A few nights ago, I was having a coffee with a psychologist and Gestalt therapist from Barcelona. We were talking about the story I had published in 2008 in Singapore, when he suddenly said, “You wrote your biography, so you must be a narcissist!”. I felt taken aback by the random and out of the blue accusation. Having a stronger sense of myself today however, I chose to reply with compassion and calm rather than reciprocating the judgement.  Unlike in the past, today I am aware that when we send out judgement to o ..read more

How to Overcome Your Fear of Rejection with Authentic & Lasting Confidence

This blog post explores the deep rooted causes and symptoms of ‘fear of rejection’ and provides advice and steps to over come it and develop authentic and lasting confidence. Working as a communication skills trainer in Asia and Europe for the last 20 years, brought me into contact with many people who shared a common ‘worst fear’: public speaking. “Why public speaking?” I would enquire. The answer is always a fear of rejection. “Rejected for what?” I’d probe. The answers I’d hear were often a resounding fear of not being good enough, others’ judgement or for not delivering what the audience e ..read more

Defining Spirituality & Rebranding God
Elisabetta Franzoso | Life Coach Blog
by Neon Rocks PR & Comms

Spirituality and Trust I was very disconnected from anything I could not prove or touch for many years. Mystery was not my thing. This probably came from the model I’d absorbed growing up: that I had to manage everything by myself, I had to make it all happen on my own and most importantly, that I could not trust anyone or anything besides myself. My journey towards spirituality and connection with a higher purpose began with my family (my now ex-husband and daughter) and has continued by myself. It has been a journey of ‘coming back’ home, returning to trust and reconnecting with that sense o ..read more
