Mind Your Own Karma - Beyond The Bandage

S2E50 ADOPTEE SIMON BENN'S STORY & INSIGHTS ON THE PRIMAL WOUND


Listen Later

***MAY CONTAIN TRIGGERING CONTENT

Simon is an adoptee who always knew he was adopted. Simon didn’t really experience any personal adoption trauma until he hit 40 years old when he found out that a teddy bear he'd had since childhood was actually a gift from his birth mother. This news immediately triggered feelings of anger and rejection, but ultimately sparked a curiosity inside Simon that led to healing and a need to help others on their adoption journey.


Simon has said that his personal story is just that, it’s very personal to him. And from my experience from speaking with him myself, he loves to question and go deep into introspection and theories to discover the truth about himself. Everyone’s combination is different, and you may not agree with some of the things expressed today, but I ask you to keep an open mind about what you hear. Have an open curiosity. Simon loves to explore possibilities and is on a mission to find his true self and possibly help you find yours as well.


If you or someone you know would like to tell their adoption story on the podcast (anyone in the adoptee constellation), please send an email to [email protected], and your story will be considered for the podcast.

Due to the LONG-LASTING EMOTIONAL FALLOUT that can be part of adoption, I highly support the GENTLE HEALING SUPPORT of SMGI: Somatic Mindful Guided Imagery. For more information on this groundbreaking and highly successful method, go to ⁠https://www.somatichealingjourneys.com⁠


Please seek professional help if you find yourself struggling with some of the realizations that you may experience during this episode.


This podcast's mission is on adoption education. If you have an expertise that you think would be beneficial to anyone touched by adoption and would like to be on the podcast, get in touch with me. I love to help fellow adoptees by helping to promote your latest project or expertise. It's time WE educate the world!!
