Summary
Are you allowing the past to define you? Are you still living an identity that was created long ago, and that no longer reflects who you really are... or who you are meant to be in this lifetime?
This episode of AWAKENING is all about coming to terms with and releasing the past, so you can create a new identity from an empowered, conscious, awakened place within yourself.
I talk about how we unconsciously develop constricting, unhelpful, limited identities based on past experiences, and share a personal story to illustrate this. We'll then move into some powerful exercises to release limiting belief systems, behaviors, and energetic cords keeping you tethered to this old identity.

| 0:00.0 | This is Inner Work, a spiritual growth podcast, a place to explore spiritual concepts, tools, and practices to deepen your healing and awakening. |
| 0:15.2 | I'm your host, Josephine Hardman, a certified intuitive healer and Akashik Records practitioner and teacher. |
| 0:22.8 | I'm honored that you're here and happy to serve as a guide and companion on your path for a little while. |
| 0:30.2 | To learn more about how to work with me one-on-one or through my courses, please visit josephinehartman.com. |
| 0:50.8 | On the path of awakening, the past is one of the things we often have to release, |
| 0:56.6 | or at least find a way to come to terms with. |
| 1:00.1 | By the past, I'm referring especially to past situations, events, or experiences that were traumatic for whatever reason, |
| 1:09.2 | either in a small or big way, and that continue to have |
| 1:13.1 | an effect on you today. Once again, as I've often said on this podcast, I want you to avoid |
| 1:19.7 | judging past trauma as insignificant if it seems like you didn't really experience anything terribly traumatic, like a war or significant |
| 1:32.5 | abuse or abandonment or something of that magnitude. It's more appropriate to measure the effects |
| 1:40.0 | of trauma based on whether whatever happened to you was very overwhelming in that moment |
| 1:47.0 | and you had no way to cope with it or to process it and therefore it can still be affecting |
| 1:54.4 | you today. Even if it's something as seemingly minor as a family member making fun of you for your hair or an outfit that you wore |
| 2:05.5 | one time or a kid in school ostracizing you these types of events. |
| 2:12.1 | For those of us who are highly sensitive, sometimes the effects of trauma, even of these kinds of so-called |
| 2:19.8 | minor or smaller traumas, can still be considerable and can remain with us into adulthood. |
| 2:28.6 | This is why it's so important to process that trauma later on when you have become a more resourced, resilient, adult, |
| 2:38.0 | and perhaps even with a trained professional who can be with you |
| 2:42.3 | and provide you the necessary tools and safe practices to do so. |
| 2:47.5 | So essentially the main point I want to get across here is that it is best and more |
| 2:53.3 | compassionate and less judgmental if we can avoid comparing our trauma to someone else's |
