HEALING THE WOUND OF NON-SUPPORT

We must receive support before we can ever give it Many of us were born and raised in homes where we did not receive the support we really needed in order to feel safe, seen, grounded, and valued. For whatever reasons, our parents and families and perhaps even our communities were unable to give us enough responsive attention for us to anchor a feeling of being empowered and supported into our Beings. Because we did not receive this support for our very Being, our essence, we came to distrust ourselves and those around us. We became unable to receive support, even when it was sincerely offered. We came to feel that we were a burden and that we didn’t deserve to have support or feel supported. We tried to make it through our lives by being totally self-sufficient.

My Mind... the About is all about determining right or wrong . ‘Should’ = self-torture “Just agree with Everything!” “I know what I know .” Life is happening, And it keeps on happening, there’s nothing we can do about it, but keep on riding that pony! I am the Pony!
