Is untangle right for you?

Untangling shows people how to become safe enough to emerge from hiding so they can embody their purposeful life.

Each choice we make to avoid, ignore, hide and stay stuck serves a protective purpose but also keeps our lives small and cut off from joy and an authentic sense of purpose. The Untangle Method™ gives you the courage and tools to unwind these invisible trauma states so you can feel safe and grounded. It is your roadmap home to yourself.

Angela invites us to look around our environment and notice what is “not working.” She then shows us how to identify our blocks and use our innate tools to get out of them - nature, movement, storytelling, imagination and decluttering.

This will support you if:

  • you are hiding and trying to stay invisible because of trauma and shame, and need tools to feel good enough to show up and be seen

  • you escape from life’s problems with screens, substances, procrastination, and isolating

  • you had the chance to show up for your dreams - in the arts, at work, or in your own business, but couldn’t pull it off because the past is holding you back

  • you have relational, sexual, or childhood trauma that new daily practices would support you to thrive

  • you under-earn or avoid intimacy and relationships

  • you feel constantly overwhelmed and in crisis and want your life to be manageable

About Me

 
Angela McKinney in yellow jacket with stack of Untangle books in front
 

For the past twenty years, Angela McKinney has been transforming people's lives, including her own, as a practitioner, educator, and somatic guide. Angela is an addiction recovery expert and speaker on habits, decision-making, and continuous growth. Her 3-Step mind-body system, The Untangle Method™, combines research in the neurobiology of trauma with a creative approach to improving the quality of our lives.

Angela engineered this method by posing and researching such questions as: How can our fragility become reshaped into resources of resilience? How can we become safe enough to engage our lives from a place of authenticity and help our bodies, minds, and spirit receive successes (both large and small)? How can we negotiate the space between the part of us that is reluctant to change and the part of us that is hungry for change to build an integrated, whole system? 

Her debut book, Untangle: How to Create Big Possibilities Through Small Changes, will guide readers through this process with accessible, sensitive lessons and candid stories. She shares her personal story, tools, and methodology for overcoming childhood trauma through The Untangle Method™ tools in her book, newsletter, podcast, signature online group program, and intimate in-person retreats. In addition to being a certified recovery coach since 2000, Angela received her clinical psychology degree from Antioch University and begins a Ph.D. in Integrative Therapy in 2023.
