Personal Mastery with Jerry Henderson

The Importance Of Unlearning In Healing


Listen Later

Rumi — 'Recognize that unlearning is the highest form of learning.'

I remember the day I read that quote. It somehow struck me to the core and awakened something in me. I realized at that moment that while all my efforts of learning about trauma, shame, addictions, and the healing process were beautiful, I needed to focus just as much, if not more, on unlearning.

Unlearning the things that others told me about myself. Unlearning the way that I thought relationships worked and what love looked like. Unlearning how I saw myself and what I believed about myself. And most importantly UNLEARNING THE BARRIERS I HAD TO GIVING MYSELF PERMISSION TO LOVE MYSELF.

In this episode, we take a look at the following:

  • The principle of unlearning in wisdom literature 
  • The importance of unlearning in healing
  • What is unlearning?
  • How can we and how do we unlearn?
  • An exercise in unlearning
  • Being teachable and humble in unlearning
  • Letting go of what we think we know
  • The gap between letting go and relearning
  • How do we relearn?

I am so grateful you are here, and I hope this episode serves you in your journey.


I am grateful you are here,
Jerry
