Exploring the Layers of Self: Journey to the Authentic I
Did you know there are three distinct parts of your personality, each with its own important role designed to keep you connected, fulfilled, and safe?
In this episode, we're diving into the concepts of 'Me, Myself, and I,' highlighting the journey toward understanding and reconciling these aspects of self. You'll learn about "Me" - the false self created for self-protection designed to "fit in" and keep you safe, and the "Myself' - associated with the shadow part, encompassing false beliefs, traumas, and ingrained experiences that hinder genuine self-expression.
And buried within both the "Me" and the "Myself" is the 'I' - representing the authentic self striving to emerge through the layers of constructed identity and trauma.
But how do you begin undoing decades of shame and fear that keep your authentic "I" from showing up in your life?
We're sharing practical advice so you can begin exploring your unique blocks from a holistic perspective that includes working with both your cognitive understanding and bodily sensations. You'll have tools to form a deeper connection to all aspects of yourself, thereby improving your relationships and overall sense of alignment in life.
