Summary

Learning to fully honor and grieve our hurts, wounds, and unhelpful patterns is SO important for genuine healing and growth. At the same time, we want to walk a fine line of not OVERLY identifying with those wounds, or feeling like our wounds are ALL that we are. (Or like we're broken, damaged, or in need of being fixed.)

Let's explore this idea - and how to strike that healing, healthy balance - here on the Inner Work podcast.

This is episode 20 of INNER REVOLUTION - a podcast series where we walk through the fire of inner transformation and awakening together.

The purpose of this series is to help you shed ANYTHING AND EVERYTHING that isn't a true reflection of Who You Really Are, so you can fully embody your Divinity, Light, and Sacred Mission.

Join me for this exploration of:

honoring and facing our FULL truth - including our wounds, past hurts, unhelpful patterns, survival mechanisms, etc. - without running away, numbing ourselves, intellectualizing, or putting on a happy face to avoid feeling our feelings
walking a fine line of truly grieving what has hurt us without overly attaching to it, overdramatizing it, or making it our whole identity
creating a healthy, loving, non-judgmental space between who you really are and your wounds, triggers, and hurts (and specific language you can use to begin creating this space)
being able to hold and BE with a full range of experiences and emotions, without drowning in any of it OR suppressing it

Thank you for being part of this Inner Revolution series. We've done a lot together!

1:01.3	Hello fellow traveler on the spiritual path and welcome to episode 20 of our ongoing series Inner Revolution.
1:14.1	So I was just checking before sitting down to record this and realize that overall,
1:20.5	so in terms of overall number of episodes for this podcast, this one is number around 386 or 387, which kind of boggles the mind
1:34.9	to think about that number of episodes. So I wanted to say whether you've been with me since the beginning,
1:43.7	which was 2018 or 19,
1:48.9	I can't remember now exactly when I started the podcast because it was so far back.
1:54.5	But if you've been with me since then, or if maybe you've been working your way through that back catalog of episodes.
