Question 1

Who does Angela Sue Garvey work with?

Accepted Answer

Angela works with high-functioning women who still feel dysregulated in the relationships that matter most. Many have done therapy or personal development before; some are coming to this for the first time. She offers licensed therapy for women in Washington State and coaching for women nationally.

Question 2

What is self-erasure?

Accepted Answer

Self-erasure is the learned pattern of minimizing, suppressing, or abandoning parts of yourself to maintain connection, approval, or peace. It's not a conscious choice. It's a nervous system strategy that develops early, when belonging felt safer through adapting to others' moods, needs, or expectations. It often shows up as people-pleasing, over-functioning, boundary guilt, self-blame, and the persistent feeling that you're too much or not enough. Angela addresses self-erasure through the Three Roots of healing: Biology, Belief, and Belonging.

Question 3

What is the difference between therapy and coaching at Life on Purpose School?

Accepted Answer

Therapy is a licensed clinical service available to Washington State residents, addressing anxiety, CPTSD, relational trauma, and the deeper roots of self-erasure patterns. Coaching is a non-clinical service available nationally for women who are ready to practice living differently in their relationships, boundaries, and daily habits.

Question 4

What is the Three Roots framework?

Accepted Answer

The Three Roots — Biology, Belief, and Belonging — is a framework built on the biopsychosocial model that most healing approaches only partially address. Biology addresses nervous system regulation and stored trauma. Belief addresses inner narrative, self-blame, and identity stories. Belonging addresses attachment history, relational patterns, and family systems. When all three roots are integrated, healing finally sticks.
