They happen when we notice a part within us that we’re scared of feeling and therefore we:
❌Will do our best to repress and suppress it
❌Will find (unsustainable) ways of coping with it
Most of the time we will gravitate from one end to the other – periods of disconnection and distraction followed by periods of over-stimulation.
The numbness is a rejection of all sensation while the addiction is a re-orientation of it in a different direction.
However, the part within you that aches to FEEL will always find expression..
Now the question is:
Is it a conscious or a compulsive one?
But it MUST come out.
The unhealed feminine refers to that part within a person who has not yet learned to navigate their emotional waters.
The integrated feminine flows and surfs with the waves of emotion and sensation..
The unhealed one drowns and struggles with it.
So what to do?
Here’s a couple of quick tips:
🌷1- Recognize that being numb or addicted ARE NOT the issue (they are the solution you’re finding to a deeper pain)
🌷2- Find ways in which you can safely recognize, understand and explore the pain that is underneath the compulsions
🌷3- BE FULLY WITH IT. FEEL IT FULLY. CRY YOUR TEARS.
🌷4- Once you have loved that part of you and heard what it had to say, you can ask him/her if it’s ready to move one
🌷5- Lead yourself into a new environment, habits, situation and resolution
