Rewriting the Stories That Keep You Trapped
Manage episode 500335360 series 3639379
We dive into the darkness where a part of us called "Part X" wants us to quit permanently, exploring practical ways to work through these challenging moments. When life's jungle is roaring with grief, shame, and struggles, we need fierce encouragement - not Instagram quotes or polished hacks, but honest tools to face our saboteur.
• Introducing the concept of "Part X" - the hidden part of us that wants to destroy us
• Sharing personal struggles with sobriety, finances, and supporting a friend in hospice care
• Exploring the distinction between wanting to die versus wanting to escape your current life
• Breaking down "story work" - a four-step process to rewrite limiting narratives
• Understanding how trauma lives in the body and why we need to feel our way through darkness
• Distinguishing between shadow work and the deeper darkness of Part X
• Recommitting to showing up for ourselves when we'd rather disappear
Try the story work technique from Susan Saller's book "Small Steps, Big Wins" - write down your story, re-read it at different speeds, and notice how your body responds. Text or DM me to share what shifts for you, and remember: you're closer than you think, but you won't see it until you start walking forward.
