Description

My Story pt6. Just because we leave a traumatic relationship, situation, or toxic cycle doesn't mean we then have the capacity to remain free from it. On this episode, I share what my life was like after I had left the trauma bonded relationship (the first time). That by leaving, it then created the space for my supressed pain to finally be felt so I could get free from internal suffering... but, I didn't actually have the capacity to be with that discomfort and feel it. This was the period of my life where I was in full swing of operating off my shadows. Doing anything I could to distract myself from my pain, and as a result, it lead me right back to what I had left. 

Key Takeaways:

• Gaining a relationship with your darkness, your internal world, is a direct link to you being able to maintain freedom from internal suffering.
• People show you who they are early, and you need to believe them.
• When your story is messy, let it be what it is. Let it be messy.
• If you're unable to be with discomfort, the likelihood of you choosing dynamics that perpetuates past trauma is very high.
• How you show up in daily life is a mirror to how you relate to your darkness.
• Distraction, escapism, avoiding, and numbing are protective mechanisms from feeling emotional pain.
• Your shadows are not innately bad.
