How Do You Deal with the Pain of Being Rejected by Your Family? [99]


Listen Later

These are the questions that gnaw at your bones, that leave your soul hungry, and keep you up at night. Questions asked from the fire, the long road, the dark, and the doubt. Questions like: How do you deal with the pain of being rejected by your family? You're in good company. I understand; I can relate; and there are answers and a way forward, even in the middle of your deepest pain. 


"The fact is, if we are letting other people’s ideas and beliefs dictate our own happiness and our own emotions, that is going to create terrible results in our life. We’re basically giving over all the power for our future, the things we do, our emotions, and how we show up in the world to other people. We might as well go back and live in an abusive relationship."


In this episode, I give answers to:

  • What to do with ruminating thoughts of justice/revenge for our abusers and fear/loneliness in ourselves. 
  • The POWER we have to make our lives amazing, how to do it, and why that's the best punishment for abusers anyways.
  • How a strong relationship with ourselves is key to healing, thriving, and deep peace (and how to begin developing that relationship).
