Peel Back the Layers of Self-Sabotage and Embrace Healing From Within

Show Summary:  “Within us lies our authentic selves, untouched and constant. Life teaches us coping strategies, some resembling self-sabotage, but remember, they once served a purpose. Embracing curiosity and understanding the needs they fulfill paves the way for healing and growth." In a world where there's an abundance of information on healing, it's easy to feel overwhelmed and wonder why we haven't fully healed yet. The truth is healing is not just about gathering knowledge. To truly heal, we must understand ourselves on a deeper level. If you have ever felt like you’re standing in the way of your own healing journey, leading to frustration and self-blame, then it's time to shift this perspective. In this episode, we invite you to take a step back and reconnect with your higher self. Discover why information alone is not enough for healing, the reasons behind our self-sabotaging behaviors, and why taking a slower approach can result in a lasting recovery. Let's cultivate compassion and kindness within ourselves on this genuine healing journey.
