EP 83 - Cai Graham - Walking to the Beat of Your Own Drum

As adults, we carry around with us many unresolved events and issues that, upon reflection, shape the way we behave as adults. Loss, betrayal, fear, trauma (to name but a few)… all take their turn in determining particular limiting beliefs and coloring our values.   Our perception of ourselves changes and we start living by the stories we create about ourselves. This is not always terribly helpful. Much of this boils down to the feelings of not being ‘good enough’ and self-judgment.   Last week I was at a retreat where I was given the opportunity to rewrite some of the stories I was holding about myself since childhood. How brilliant it would have been if this emotional baggage was dealt with when I was younger.   How brilliant if we could teach our children how to deal with their emotions in a more healthy way. We can! Want to know more? Then Grab a cuppa - and keep listening. ~~~
