episode 44: the teacher (How Coronavirus is My Greatest Teacher in Miracles)
episode 44: the teacher (How Coronavirus is My Greatest Teacher in Miracles) When you grow up in trauma, it's hard to understand the people who hurt you, the people who put you in unsafe situations, the people who purposely hurt you, are YOUR teachers.

My past toxic friendships and relationships are my teachers for emotional growth through challenging experiences. Coronavirus was my teacher in finding the miracle of m...

What beliefs did you have about yourself from childhood? What beliefs did you have about your parents then and now? Our beliefs are formed by the time we are 7 years old. My beliefs and perspectives about myself and my parents were intertwined with a story of unworthiness, can’t trust, never will get better, and not feeling safe. At any given moment, we can change our perspectives and beliefs. Believing I would die from Coronavirus changed my perspective about my childhood beliefs forever. Changing my perspective about my childhood beliefs has been pivotal in my healing. Making thi...
