This weeks topic on "Finding the Path of Me" is Navigating Family situations where your feelings are hurt over and over. I had a situation recently with a family member that was really difficult. It was disrespectful, made me feel diminished and small and honestly was so deeply hurtful.
This is a pattern that repeats often, and usually I remain silent, but this time was different. I spoke my truth.
Then phoned a friend.She gently suggested it wasn't the situation that hurt so much as my expectation of the other person to be kind and respectful, when perhaps it wasn't possible. That the pain was from my own expectations not being met and then being wounded by that. So I had some hard choices to make.
I hope these reflections help you as you navigate hard family dynamics. It's so complicated, so difficult to remain in your heart space and honor yourself and deal with the blow back when you are navigating the situation. To find support on your journey, I wrote a book "Finding the Path of Me" which helps you understand your programs and patterns, ancestral patterns and why you do what you do. It's a guide with journal prompts that helps you move into a more healed and authentic way of being.
