This One Is For The Scathed
Manage episode 312725708 series 3221551
None of us makes it out of this life unscathed. No matter who you are, where you come from, what you start out with- no one makes it out unscathed that is just the way of life. It's hard in the scathing times to not take it out on ourselves, to not destroy ourselves internally, to not do the work of the oppressors for them but I say NO! And also it is a long road to changing the neuropathways toward love for ourselves and away from shame and self-abuse but it is possible. I have personally been on this road a long long time and for the most part, can quickly pull myself out of that destructive self-talk. Does it still rear its ugly little face? Yes, but I can see it and call out the truth much faster than even a few years ago. Sometimes I have to do this truth-telling on and off all day long but I can do it. I mostly do it through therapy, soul-care, positive self-talk, rituals, mantras, meditations, walks with the dogs, nature, candles, tea, etc. Sometimes I have to do it on and off all day just to hold myself together. Holding ourselves together doesn't mean not falling apart but it does mean trying to take the shame away and creating space spaces for the falling apart to happen. We do this by building it for ourselves by telling ourselves the loving truth and shining a light on the false narratives we were given or believed about ourselves. The truth is radical self-love flies in the face of all the shame and shit and helps us live with integrity with ourselves and others.
