Robert continues with his story from last week about facing the biggest challenge of his life. He spent 10 years experimenting with medicine to find equilibrium after a kidney transplant. Join him and Dave as he shares the stories and the lessons he has learned with the hope that his journey will help you, the listener, navigate from your challenges into being a true ally for yourself and not compound the suffering with self-rejection. These difficulties are universal, whether they are recognized or not. The Introspective Guides are the simplest way to start the path toward integrating what is challenging and can be found at AwarenessThatHeals.org.

For 10 long years, Robert suffered from exhaustion, depression, fear, anxiety, anger, and beyond. He could no longer feel joy, happiness, or any of the qualities central to his life. However, on another level, he became acutely aware of wanting to care for himself through all of it. If he could not do it through his heart, he had to find a way to transform his experience through his mind. With the strong wish to care for himself and the intention to heal, he channeled his thoughts to find the most important questions and received guidance that would support him through the day. This enabled him to continue his practice as a psychotherapist, and make decisions that were most beneficial to live his life's potential even though he didn't feel well. It is possible to develop guidance from inside ourselves with friendly wise thoughts that lead us to what is possible and not let our challenging feelings rule. A wiser mind can be cultivated while we don't feel well. Join us to see how much you can learn to support yourself when you are most challenged.
