Living Without Fear - From Pain To Self-Love | With Esther Buerki LIVING WITHOUT FEAR
-
- Mental Health
Let me share a story about a dear friend who was drowning in self-doubt and misery when she came to me. She felt like the worst mom, believing she had failed her children and herself. The weight of someone else's harsh words crushed her spirit. Instead of lifting herself up, she found solace in tearing others down. But as we know, that's no remedy.
With gentle guidance, we delved into her past, unearthing moments of maternal brilliance amidst the pain. As she recalled instances of nurturing and love, a glimmer of hope danced across her face. Yet, the wounds ran deep, echoing childhood scars inflicted by her own mother.
So, we embarked on a journey back to that vulnerable little girl, offering her the tenderness she craved but never received. Self-love, I told her, starts with embracing that wounded child within, soothing her with words of comfort and kindness.
"But don't you ever feel hurt?" she asked. Of course, I do. We all do. Yet, each time I do, I return to that inner child, cradling her until the storm passes. It's a practice, not a cure-all, but it works wonders.
Self-love isn't a one-time fix; it's a daily commitment to ourselves. And while it used to take me weeks to emerge from my dark places, now, with practice, the clouds part much sooner.
Remember this: in moments of hurt, resist the urge to blame. Instead, step away, breathe, and tend to your wounded soul. Boundaries are your allies; embrace them.
I hope this episode serves as a beacon of light on your own journey of self-love. Remember, you're not alone. Let's walk this path together, one step at a time. Take care of yourself, and remember, you are worthy of love.
