A weekend of walking each other home โค๏ธ
A humbling and beautiful reminder that no matter how much โworkโ we have done on ourselves, we are never โdoneโ; the depths that we can reach IN relationship with both ourselves and others is bountifulโฆ. If you let it in.
One simple re-frame of a sentence I have heard & repeated over & over, hit home so utterly profoundly that it unwittingly invited me to earth feelings I have carried in my body without knowing it; generations of trauma & unfelt feelings of grief. As the lightbulb went off, I could very easily have moved into my adaptive childโs well trodden path of safety, by closing my throat & thus my heart & yetโฆ with the wisdom, grace, generosity & love of the some of the most incredible people, I was able to feel. Deeply. And ultimately let go & stay open.
Iโll forever be grateful to three women in particular; Julie, Jennifer & Jacqueline. Without each of you, I have no idea how or when I would have been able to put out the fire that was rolling on.
This relational life model &, by extension, community has enriched my life more than I could have imagined possible. Eternally grateful to this man for sharing his wisdom & for helping me to see the gold that lies beyond what the exquisite intelligence of my adaptive child had to believe was possible in relationship. With his help, & with commitment to the work of โright sizing myselfโ (Iโm stealing that one ๐) I continue to learn how to thrive & I endeavour to pass it on.
I donโt believe I can help or teach anyone how to be relational unless I am recovering myself & reclaiming my seat. โBe the change you want to seeโ Gandhiโจ
