The Past Can’t Hurt You with Carol Boroughs

After riding a roller coaster of a profound spiritual experience followed by post-trauma flashbacks, Carol Boroughs had questions about the root cause of suffering. This practised healer began a search and stumbled across the work of Sydney Banks, which highlights Thought as a central, powerful force that affects our experience of life.Carol Boroughs brings together the skills and experience she has accumulated over four decades in the field of human development and transformation, in the early years as a human resources consultant and for the last 25 years as a holistic therapist, healer and teacher. She also draws directly on intrinsic knowledge and personal experience of awakenings which began in childhood and led to a transformational realisation in 2011. She has chosen to use the Three Principles as the basis of her work as she recognises it to be a powerful teaching for our time.You can find Carol Boroughs at ThreePrinciples.co.uk and on Facebook @Signposts1.You can listen above, on your favorite podcast app, or watch on YouTube. Notes, links, resources and a full transcript are below. Show Notes* Following the path of the wounded healer * On having a powerful spiritual experience where reality dropped away * How we innocently re-traumatize ourselves with our thoughts * Changing our relationship to trauma by seeing what it is made of * How we don’t need techniques to bring us back to the present moment * Why we try to transcend our humanness * On the wise nature of our search for peace * How our own experience is the best teacherResources Mentioned in this Episode* Sydney Banks website * Sydney Banks book mentioned, The Missing Link * My memoir about my cult experience, Cult, A Love Story * My book about resolving an overeating habit, It’s Not About the FoodTranscript of Interview with Carol BoroughsAlexandra: Carol Burrows, welcome to unbroken.Carol: Thank you very much, Alexandra, it’s a pleasure to be here.Alexandra: It’s lovely to meet you. And to be having this chat this morning.Tell us a little bit about your background and how you got interested in the Three Principles.Carol: My professional background is a career in two halves really, I started out in human resource management, did that for about 20 years. And then when I had my children in my late 30s, something woke up in me, and I just took a completely different direction. That partly came about because I was seeking to heal myself from some early trauma, and the after effects of that.I started exploring, I’d already started exploring, but I went much more deeply into lots of different healing modalities. And the ones that I found really helpful, I studied them, and I learned to help other people with them. So I had a practice helping other people through lots of different holistic therapies, primarily homeopathy, but also specialized schools of counseling. And because of my own background, I guess I attracted people who needed help with trauma, but many, many other things as well physical, physical, health, mental and emotional health.I was very identified with being the wounded healer.And I also had all always been interested in spirituality. Ever since I was a child. I was the child of a long line of maternal healers in my family.
