Thank you for all your writing and podcasting this year, it is truly appreciated and helpful. For many years now. Wishing you all good things - health and peace and whatever you want really x
i loved this conversation. The recognition that we need to follow our innatewisdom of our own body which may take us in truly unique directions from the crowd stuck in fawning systems, is such an inherent healing tool to counter the life long fawning beliefs that I am wrong, I am responsible, I must work on myself, other people know better. You both are inspirations for those of us still deep in the trenches of doubt. Thank you I feel incredibly lucky to have found both of your contributions.
Really like this. Isn't almost everything a survival skill, things that goes us from Point A to now? Some are/were very unhealthy, like booze. Some less so, or good. But we are here now, still breathing, and we shouldn't we (I now, should is a bad word LOL) honor/acknowedge those things as past of our gestalt?
I think back to when I was younger and dinner time was a nightmare, with my drunk parents - dad and his patiarchal right wing BS and my mom sniping viciously from the weeds. I became the invisible boy, say nothing, keep your head down. That dynamic has followed me all my life but it was survival at the time, and served me well, even far into adulthood.
Someone once asked Mother Teresa if God didn't always give her hard things he/she knew they could handle. Her reply: "Yes, but I wish he didn't have so much confidence in me".

Hi dear Yinchi. You might really love Jan Winhall's work (20 Practices for Trauma and Addiction) I'm having her on an upcoming episode :)
Oooooh. Can’t wait to listen to this.

YES! Everything is a survival skill! And these things that may end up killing us were probably at one point the only thing that could have saved us.
