4. Is your backpack full of bullsh*t? (Let's unpack it!)
"Until you make the unconscious conscious, it will direct your life and you will call it fate.” - Carl Jung
The lives we create come directly from our backpacks of belief. These are packed immediately - like, as soon as we arrive on Earth - and we carry them into adulthood. We don't even know what's in there. We just wonder why life feels so heavy.
Most of us are carrying backpacks full of banana peels, because we’ve never been taught to clean them out. We can't thrive that way, or even create stable mental health. THE GOOD NEWS IS: you aren't stuck with the backpack somebody packed for you.
In this episode, I unpack:
How “little t” trauma happens to ALL OF US (no exception), and gets stored in the backpack
Why childhood is so significant, and *must* be unpacked at if you want to live well
(3:30 - DO YOU RELATE?) the common childhood request that teaches us to self-abandon
How our common beliefs (that mental health is a “condition”) ironically cause mental health issues
What “the work” is, and how to start doing it
I recommend checking out Dr. Nicole LePera: https://theholisticpsychologist.com/
I also recommend Eckhart Tolle: https://eckharttolle.com/
