My ladies, today's conversation is for anyone going through what feels like a break down. Sophie Shiloh and I have a candid conversation about mental health and our own journeys of mental breakdown. I have a very different view of mental "breakdown" and see things through a spiritual lens. So my language is transferred to reflect that as a mental break-UP.
Systems of thought patterns live within us, mis-creating who and what we are since our birth. When these roots of untruth become unearthed, in order to plant what is new and what is true, our society labels these experiences as mental breakdowns. But that's not what's actually happening and nothing has actually gone "wrong."
One point Sophie and I are clear to make is that your experience in breaking away from the untruth in our minds is the support you have around you as it's happening. She calls it her safety net and I could not agree more with that term.
A "break down" can be supported when you have people around you who know how to hold space for you to process, let go, and become renewed. If you don't have that, the experience can lead to further entanglement in mental un-wellness. This system of safety nets is crucial. We aren't meant to be doing these things alone. Your safety net should support you and help guide you to grounded space. This is the difference between these experiences bringing you into a higher awareness of self vs a lower denser sinking into depression, anxiety, and hopelessness.
Join us today for this beautiful conversation.
