I was so touched by my friend and Soul Care Coach, Devon Evans’ authentic share about her marriage that I HAD to share it with you, too. May it assist you to transform in your relationships as well.
I’ve always been a “highly-sensitive person”. And I know so many in this community (including you!) may be one, too.
It’s easy as a sensitive person to feel shame, guilt, or embarrassment about your emotions. After all, we live in a world that teaches us that to feel is to show weakness.
That to care is to be vulnerable.
So, what I call our “Survival Self” finds ways to make ourselves “right”, so as to “protect” those deep, vulnerable emotions.
Often, we shove these emotions deep down, attempting to bury them under a facade of “I’m good” even when we’re really not..
But when we enter a phase of our lives where we want to grow and create closer relationships with those we love, we are confronted by a choice:
Are we going to continue to self-abandon by shoving our feelings down?
…Or are we going to dive deep and uncover our authentic feelings so that we can truly heal?
Because the truth is that our emotions are not the enemy.
Emotions are our HELPERS. They are MESSENGERS, sending us notes and truths from our unhealed selves.
And when we allow ourselves to view our emotions in this way, we can begin to unblock the path to our most abundant, most embodied selves.
Me and my fellow Soul Care Coaches Maureen Spielman, Joseph Argazzi, and Devon Evans came together to show you more about what this means.
🎙In episode 44 of Permission to Thrive — “Learning to Befriend Your Emotions” — my lovely and wise colleagues share practices on how to:
🌀 welcome rather than run from the uncomfortable emotions,
🌀 receive important messages from the most unhealed parts of ourselves,
🌀 & create meaningful shifts in our most valued relationships!
👉 Are you ready to start seeing your emotions as MESSENGERS rather than MENACES?
