The quality of our life is directly related to the amount of uncomfortable conversations we are willing to have with our child within.
Upon reflection and practice, We’ve come to believe this is true.
Why?
Because uncomfortable conversations involve telling the truth. And at first, the truth and realisation can be painful.
How much precious time and energy can we waste not talking about our childhood?
A day?
A month?
A year?
A decade?
A lifetime?
Even longer perhaps.
They say that the truth will piss us off – We don’t think that’s true. We think the truth is terrifying you.
A truth like – it’s time to recover from our childhood wounds.
A truth like – I want to get sober.
A truth like – it’s time for change.
A truth like – I quit.
They are scary truths. And we don’t know how to talk about them without it being drama. Why? Because we are scared to feel.
It’s easier for us to fight than it is to feel. It’s easier for us to withdrawal than it is to feel.
So we put up roadblocks and create drama and dissociate – instead of sharing our truth from our heart and feeling the feelings that come with it.
Ending a relationship with ourselves is not an easy conversation.
Nor is saying, I remember you.
Or I quit forgetting.
Or, I want more from life.
Or, I deserve to treat my child within better.
But, what if having hard conversations actually was the beginning of improving our life. What if not having difficult conversations could be holding you back from really getting our life going.
What if, instead of death – freedom was on the other side of having that difficult conversation?
What would you do then?
