Part 1: Main Points
- How and why healing shifts over time, but the take-home message remains the same... We all have a right to heal 💝
- It ain't for the faint of heart! Nor can our brains' distinguish between real & perceived trauma 😲
- Essential healing ingredients; becoming aware of blind spots, integrating our spices & listening to our narratives 🙈🙉🙊
- Indulge in the IRONY and lean into the Shadows (link to historical meaning, new meaning in Part 3) 🤯
Part 2: Reflections
- A Velvet Sledgehammer approach to healing, radical self responsibility & ownership as the purest forms of self esteem 😇
- Brains suppress trauma & distressing emotions to protect itself, without working to uncover these... shit can go magnificently pear-shaped 💩😅
- Understanding what healing IS NOT in these days of motivational, post-modern, flowery BULLSHIT! 🙏
- There's nothing more natural than getting Pissed! 😠😂
Part 3: What Healing is For Me Now
- The pitiful history, for context, and finally confronting healing that's been 3 years in the making 🙏💖
- An apt analogy for healing... Bringing that deep infection to the surface for some Sun! ⛅
- My new definition of healing (below), and loving ourselves enough to put ourselves back together 💔🍳
- My realisation about reving up to Mach-5, why I had to leave my slow paced home & creating a shadow that I then ran away from 🤔🤯
