Facing the Pain.
The nebulous thing that we don't really want to get to, that lives under the many, painful in themselves, self-defense mechanisms, that imped our daily lives.
This weekend for me has largely been about facing the pain. It has been about a deepening consciousness of what revisiting the pain to strengthen the defenses that keep us stuck feels like in comparison to the alternative.
The alternative: Facing the pain because it frees us from the dictates and tryanies of our own protection mechanisms.
I know the feeling of going into the pain for the right reasons. It is wonderful. Freeing. Frightening. Not nearly as terrifying as we think it will be.
Today I am a little freer a little kinder to myself and a hundred times more strong and able. I trust myself to walk with myself.
I would like to express an ocean of thanks to Dora and my Saturday morning work group for their dedication to having the best possible lives for themselves and for the courage to go 'there' for the right reasons. My sense of family, in and with humanity, has certainly reached a new level.
The Institute of Self-Esteem for Africa (I-SEA) is certainly pleased with this weekends journey as it has give birth to a new workshop for our personal growth, one day workshop series .
