- As usual I'm speaking without a plan and there is a lot more I could have said that has come to mind after making this video so I shall revisit the topic of love being the only thing that is real.
Amongst other things I do talk about living in the certainty of our desperation. Gradually allowing the absence of resistance to self acceptance that greatly eases the war inside us and brings us into humble inclusion of what we reject in ourselves. I also mention a metaphor - being a tree - an image that may help visualise the process of growth and inclusion and mention the external resistance that makes us stronger and helps us learn to yield.

Thank you Sam. Please don’t stop making videos. Not only are you seen, valued and loved, you are needed. The tree metaphor is beautiful. I’m sure you know that when a tree is wounded, a growth forms called a burl that seals the wound or virus off from harming the rest of the tree. As the burl grows, it incorporates the tree’s undeveloped buds that surround it and folds them into its expanding form. You have been digging into the burls of your life and exposing the undeveloped buds of your childhood to give them life and a voice. When a tree with burls on its trunk falls, it can re-grow itself. The burl begins to sprout and forms roots and buds. It’s just. So. Beautiful. Be happy. Your beautiful life has grown from your wounds.
Thank you for you support and for sharing this image, I shall pin your comment .
"I am a tree and all of this is part of me." profound and poetic
You came up on my YOU TUBE feed have watched a few now when i see you have a video; I am not transgender but I find you one of the most truthful and and sincere person. I love listening to your very profound insights that make me love you so much. God really has and is using you for all kinds of people. Love you so much and I mean it. Thank you for being YOU. Will keep following you.
It's so grounding to hear you speak, it really sounds like you are allowing the deepest essence of who you are flow naturally through you, translated into english via your words, and then recorded on video to share with all of us. It's just so pure and clear. Sometimes it feels like there are not sufficient enough words in the english language to really convey what we come to understand on our healing journey and in the coming home to ourselves, but you do an absolutely beautiful job of it, it's an incredible gift. Thank you for sharing it with us
💯agree with you. My feeling as well.
I don't think that thought just popped into your head. I've heard this so many times in the last couple of years from people who have had very spiritual experiences. I think this is God and his angels trying desperately to help us to focus on Love. Love is the one thing that we see absent in the world today and because you have focused so hard on healing, you are open to these beautiful messages.
You are an inspiration.Thank you so much for being your true self and helping the rest of us along the way!
Thank you
watching/listening to Sam is like an achingly beautiful poem. the pain, the beauty, the forgiveness, the LOVE....
" I make all things new" our Creator (who is Love)
Still listening..
Just popped into my mind
The tears start flowing. Being human is hard, I say it to myself all the time. I feel as if I’m walking right along with you, in deep conversation ( which I crave so much). I’m one who definitely feels more comfortable and seen by the trees. Stunningly beautiful surroundings there. Thanks Sam, and love your sharing of all that flows out of you.
Gale
Thank you Gale . For me tears still come and always bring catharsis. I hope they do for you too.
"Everything is abstract, but love is real" 💖🕊️ Wow that's beautiful, gave me chills.
M. Scott Peck, “The pain is in the resistance”. I love your tree metaphor Sam. A fact of trees is that a tree will not grow strong & survive without the wind & forces from weather. Two trees were planted; one tree exposed to harsh winds became stout & strong; the other tree never exposed to the wind didn’t survive. GOD our creator has built in us the ability to become stronger through our trials & ultimately we come to realize our true strength comes from the love of GOD for us. Love even greater when we surrender to Him. His love is pure & undefiled & not dependent on us at all He loves us His children. It’s a beautiful pure love that flows & requires nothing but just self as GOD created us to be. GOD bless you Sam & all others searching for self we are created In GOD’s own image for Him to Love us. 🙏🏼🕊♥️
"I realize that life is a mystery. Its nothing but mystery. And the more we try to confine it in our story, the prison of our own ideas, the less contact we make with that mystery and the less the mystery can live us" .... Deeply felt here.. Thank you Sam for these beautiful videos.
I know exactly what you mean. There is that war, that nobody can see, and that they wouldnt be able to be sympathetic to as well as a result even if they try. But what does show through is love. For me, the healing from my trauma I had was when I found someone that trully loves me. And it wasn't that they healed me, it was that just knowing they were there, that I was loved, made me feel stable enough to finally make my own stand in that war and battle. I was unable to accept what was imprisoning me, I was unable to accept that there was nothing wrong with me. Really, we are products of our environement, and less positively-- products of our survival. Thank you for sharing this, it helps me feel stronger in my own healing.
Sam, have you thought about writing a book? Your story is so powerful and your videos are so very healing and heartfelt. You speak a deeper truth that reaches into the heart of trauma and of living. I so appreciate you and your posts.
Thank you. One day maybe !
Hello again Sam, i very much look forward to your posts, as you are a truely a breath of fresh air.. My young friend is having facial feminization surgery in 3 wks. then srs in Dec.

Sam so glad you found C.S lewis his writings are God motivated. I love his channel soulful devotions. I listen every day. God bless. Carmel
Keep sharing because your courage and HEALING is inspiring others!!!
I shall. Thank you
I can see myself on this journey, its been 6 years no contact with any family and i love the freedom I have to just have emotions without judgment.
❤
Im so glad to see you have access to the natural world. It has everything. Beauty, ugliness,life,death, symmetry, weirdness,life, decay.....just like us. And we are all natural,not unnatural. I love it all. I love you.
Sam, you are so spot on. Love is the key. I have never gone through anything slightly as traumatic as you have gone through in your life, but I can relate. Even though I had a very loving family, a father and a mother who both loved me, I had a father who was distanced from life due to the trauma he experienced during World War II. Due to this, he became distanced from me and life in general. Oh, I wish he could have heard your videos back in the day. Your talks would have helped him so much. I grew up resenting my father as a child, as I so longed for communication and a feeling of love from him. Due to this, I feel that I have always had difficulty in expressing love. It wasn’t until I was in my forties after my father had passed that I went on a journey trying to reconcile in my mind what happened to my father so I could heal. I researched everything I could about the war, obtained military records, and then came out on the other side with a true love for my father. I wish I could have hugged him back then. I concluded that he was a true war hero. He was captured at the Battle of the Bulge where he almost died by his captives, he led troops into battle and held them in his arms as they passed. I cried and still do this day. I grew to love my father and know to this day that he truly loved me but couldn’t get over the anguish he had experienced to express it. He was trapped in his anguish, something I have dealt with and have been able to release from myself.
Also, your analogy about the tree being cut and forming a knot is the same in the body. I broke my ankle a few years ago. Within a couple of weeks, the doctor told me a knot was forming on that part of the broken bone. He told me that bone would now be the strongest bone in my body. Also, in your closing remarks, you stated, “I don’t know how I survived all of that.” You survived for a moment such as this. I thank you so much for sharing, as you are helping numerous individuals who you may never know.
Hi Jean , thank you very much for sharing this. I had a similar relationship. How painful it was and is to want to love.
Hi Sam. What a gift and blessing you are. Thank God for you. I wanted to share with you an experience i had. We lived on a forested property. We had a friend, who was an arborist, come walk the property to educate us on what types of trees we had. We had some Christmas tree pines, a walnut, etc. Then, in a heavily forested area, we had a dugar pine, which is pretty worthless. It was growing under a heavy canopy of large trees. The heavy canopy caused the pine to grow in an arch, never standing up right. Or friend shocked me when he said, " That one there," pointing at the pine, "is the most valuable tree on your property. The way it is bowed gives it a tensile strength none of the others come close to. When you are ready to cut it, let me know. I have people who will pay a fortune for the wood for boat making. "
It was such a metaphor for life, how we can feel bowed and pressed down by our circumstances, but in the end, like coal under pressure, something precious and valuable is yeilded. Just like you, Sam.❤
Thank you so much
“the less we make contact with the mystery, the less the mystery can live us” that is epically a sagacious gem
I love the Highlands. It’s a beautiful place. Stay blessed, Sam 🫶🏾
Thanks Nadine. You too. x
Dear precious Sam. Thank you for your update. I cried with joy as I heard the Lord touch your heart. I have been praying that as you wander in the highlands, that you will come to know that you are more beautiful than all created things, that the One who made you, He IS love, He IS beauty and He is able to be fully trusted.
Two scriptures came to my mind 💞
Jeremiah 17 v 7“But blessed are those who trust in the LORD
and have made the LORD their hope and confidence.
8They are like trees planted along a riverbank,
with roots that reach deep into the water.
Such trees are not bothered by the heat
or worried by long months of drought.
Their leaves stay green,
and they never stop producing fruit.
1 John 4: 8 But anyone who does not love does not know God, for GOD IS LOVE
You were never meant to do life alone, The Holy Spirit is your Helper, when you accept Jesus as your Saviour ! No conditions ! He accepts YOU ❤
Watching from New Zealand❤
Thank you. This is beautiful
You are an extraordinary human being. I treasure your videos.
Wow, thank you
“The mystery wants to live us.” Thank you Sam. 🙏🏻♥️
❤ sending you all love and blessings Sam all support to you ♥️
Sam, I first clicked on one of your videos, because my best friend's name was Sam when he was here on earth, so seeing "Call Me Sam", for me was, "Call me, Sam" ☎️ 📞 . Thank you for being called Sam. If you weren't, I likely wouldn't have found you, and I'm so so glad I did. There is no tuning out half way through one of your videos. There's a resonance with everything you speak about. Love. ❤️
Sam, you are sharing so much wisdom and truth in your videos. Thank you. While I didn't experience physical abuse as a child, other childhood experiences caused me to become a pseudo-person, someone devoid of the ability to feel and living only in my intellect. I was 32 when a supernatural experience created a crack in the walls I had built up and I began the journey to learn why I was so terrified of love. I hear so many insights from your journey that I resonate with. It was a very painful journey for many years as I slowly acknowledged the feelings I had denied for so long. While I would not want to do it again, neither would I exchange that journey for anything in the world. I like the person I have become as a result of it, a real human being. The roughest part is past, but I continue to grow, even at age 75.
Just hearing your voice, so rough, i relate to the false reality dissapearing😢❤
I am re-watching this. Reading new comments. The Thoreau quote that “Most men lead lives of quiet desperation” keeps coming to mind. The desperation that those of us feel who have suffered from complex trauma is no longer quiet here. The desperation is unmuted and the people who gather hear their own voices coming to life within them. “You mean, I can say this, name this? I am not strangely unique and alone in my brokenness? I can speak of my experience without apology and without the mental gymnastics necessary to blame myself as the cause of this brokenness? Really, it’s ok? I can?”
Thank-you for your courage, Sam.
Thank you. A wise lady told me words to the affect of , " what we are carrying, the unresolved pain, is waiting for completion ". When we tell our story and look for a witness , that witness is feeling our pain with us . This is where completion is found, in relationship with others that acknowledge us and how we have suffered, our pain then dissipates. We can let it go.
This is the vital dynamic that should be provided in a healthy parent child relationship but this is what most of us never had, so, the pain gets trapped, held within us until we can let it go.
I see now that this is what I was doing with the channel..... asking for a witness.
You're definitely not alone.
Sam, everything you say resonates with me. It has been a decade since the unfoldment and the ego death is so real and so painful and so liberating. It's a disconnecting and a reconnecting. Disassembling and reassembling. From a fabricated false narrative to truth. And there are far and few that understand this language. People with their titles within the infrastructure of the system don't understand.
Yes, only love is real. I want to KEEP MY LOVE ON. Stay present and witness with compassion and long suffering, at peace and with genuine joy. Thank you Sam.
How perfectly lovely! Our Creator God spoke directly to you, Sam. (1 John 4:7-10) Love IS real, but our world is currently ruled by the prince of darkness. One day Jesus will take back the earth, but for now, those who don’t know Him will inflict all kinds of crazy. I’m so glad you got such a personal message. God loves you❣️
I completely agree that the only real thing is love. The challenge is seeing the bigger picture. On a lower level there is conflict, predation, and crime. In the broad scheme of things, these are just harsh circumstances that don’t define the ultimate reality.
In the world we know, things happen out of necessity. But there is no “necessity.” There is infinite freedom because of the infinite scope of awareness.
Beautiful. I just wish I knew what love is. Hardened heart. Stuck in a battle of one for decades. Numb. Fists out. Smile cracked. Raging. False. Always trying to do something right, as you say. Fixing the past. You help me see. Understand. Thank you.
Keep going, never give up and change will come.
PS I am sincerely overjoyed when I find videos from you as I just love listening to you talk about life. (So truly don't worry, make videos when you feel to and leave the rest in the divine's hands. You are a profound and powerful being! I love just getting to be along for the ride of your life :) You're a gem, I mean it. I'm so glad you're out here. Lots of love my friend :)
Thanks for all your comments. It was lovely to wake this morning and read them all.
Your authenticity brings healing to the world. Thanks for sharing your journey with us.
Thank you
I love your channel, Sam. I have never experienced what you have but I was domestically abused by my husband. When I managed to escape I had no idea who I was anymore. I was terrified of men…ALL men, crowds, loud noises, violence in movies, etc. So I had to create a healed me and discover who I now am. It was a very difficult journey. I still have PTSD but the kind parts of me I found again. And yes acceptance is so important. We have to love ourselves before we can love others. It took a long time but I can say I love me far more now than that traumatic time. I had always been a compassionate kind person before. I’m still finding those pieces of me. I am becoming free. Hugs, Sam. 🤗 it is good to see you again. 🌈
Thank you for my hug Jan. Wonderful... ." I am becoming free. "
I’ve been pondering this ( from the Bible Gal 5:6) for 15 years. It made me stop going to church and I’ve been trying to find the moment, to be in the moment, to rest in the moment ever since… ‘The only thing that counts is faith expressing itself through love. ‘
Sam you always speak so deeply to my heart. But today you are articulating with such clarity the promptings in me - to let go, to accept myself and to become real. Love is indeed the only reality. Thank you for saying these things so explicitly. I am going to replay this and soak it in again. You are giving voice to important truths. I have been challenged to let go of believing there is such a thing as truth…. But what can I do with the experience I have had of love. Like you I long to be seen and known. I have my own story of course, but the piece I share with you tonight is that I’ve come home from the hospital bed of my beloved husband who had a heart attack today. I can’t imagine life without him but I have a peace and assurance … because of Love. For me love is a person. God is love. My husband reflects God’s love to me everyday. I left him tonight with these words from the psalms… “Lord, my heart is meek before you. I don’t consider myself better than others. I’m content to not pursue matters that are over my head- such as your complex mysteries and wonders- that I’m not yet ready to understand. I am humbled and quieted in your presence. Like a contented child who rests on its mother’s lap, I’m your resting child and my soul is content in you.”
Thank you for sharing here, I'm so sorry for what you must be going through. Yes , I think that love is our source, the uncreated foundation of all being and despite the seeming cruelty and injustice of this realm, still we know that love is this truth .
@@Call-Me-Samthank you again Sam for your generous sharing
I fell asleep listening to one of Sam’s videos and had horrible dreams. I feel the pain in his words and voice which makes the journey to healing all the more beautiful. Honest pain. Honest healing.
This definition of abstract and how we live there as victim and why it keeps us in the wounds.. it's profound. I know I keep saying that, but thank you. I am ready to heal. I thought I was a long time ago and perhaps I was and it's just been a process that has taken a long time. "Stop trying to heal, stop trying to fix yourself" ahhhhhhh...but the healing does happen, I see it more and more."We have to include everything... or how we can show up?" Wow. I have tried to years to show up WITHOUT the bad part, for years I have tried to purge/filter myself most of my life. It never worked. When I was a child, I was always drawing trees, horses and trees.. I'm actually going back to that and you know where the knots are, to me, have always been some of the most interesting parts of the tree, I have always wanted to include at least one, now I kind of get why... I'm 70 now and am just thankful to just be, I'm starting to accept EVERYTHING I have been and am. What helps me know this is true is that I have always been amazed me that it's the human (or flawed) element that always makes something beautiful in a painting or a piece of furniture, handmade is so much more beautiful than machine made... Thank you.
Your tree analogy was beautiful. I loved that.
I went from survive to thrive although it's sometimes like a wave. Such words of wisdom that touches my heart. Thank you Sam.
Thank YOU 💕
Thank you Sam.
To not expect anything, but accept what is. To realize I'm just an observer, not the doer, that life is a happening. Trying out this concept has made my lifesituation less stressful and put an end to my former selfhate and depressions. Change is possible !
Well done ! Yes, I think we need the space to observe provided by acceptance. I wish you continued peace.
Acceptance is healing. Beautiful video Sam.
Thank you
😄 i need to use that phrase next time i get sick, "my system is updating". God Bless you fren, feel better soon! ❤ you are such an amazing beautiful soul
Thank you and thanks for all your comments today .
The tree... I'm beyond floored
That reminds me of this other quote: 'there is only love and our resistance to it.'
❤Speak precious Sam...Your adoring audience is listening...Xo...
Your journey has been heart touching, and I sincerely hope for nothing but the best for you and your future. The progress that you have been making is becoming more apparent after each video and it is inspiring. Take care of yourself Sam and keep fighting.
Thank you so much.
It is so true when you say that it is only us who can give ourselves freedom
Each time I check your channel and find you with a new video, I am joyous and eager to hear you.. This video was wonderful and you seem to radiate ongoing healing and new wisdom each time. Thank you a thousand times over. I needed to hear this today, Sam.
Thank you. So powerful.
Thank you, Brother. ❤️
23:34 I struggled (and honestly I still have my moments) with this idea, and I will never forget listening to you speak about how you discovered your own worth. That made SUCH an impression and I will probably never forget thinking to myself "gosh I hope thats me one day." I appreciate you on such a deep level. In many ways our journeys are running parallel, in terms of discovering ourselves and these things about life, like love is real and the rest is abstract. Thank you for being here, for inspiring me, and reminding me (again) how beautiful life is. Thank you for being a big part of my own allowing myself to be OK as MYSELF. Thank you so much.
Thank you for inspiring me to continue . You are enough, you always have been. I wish you peace
I’ve been drawn to your videos for awhile now Sam. All I am able to say about this one is: Wow! I suffered a breakdown right before the beginning of the pandemic. It was a long time coming but necessary. It is comforting to receive love but the only reason I have survived nearly 68 years is my need to give love. Keep doing what you’re doing. It means so much to so many of us out here.
The deepest wound is that in childhood I tried to love but was met with hostility . I think self love is through loving others .
Thank you
so true it is hard to be human. God bless you.
God bless you too Carey
Gorgeous! Thank you so much for your beautiful, gentle wisdom!!
1 Corinthians 13:12 For now we see only a reflection as in a mirror; then we shall see face to face. Now I know in part; then I shall know fully, even as I am fully known.

That's a good one. ❤️
Hi Sam! It's excellent to see you again, I truly love to listen to you speak
Unconditional freedom that we must give ourselves… I’ve been trying to articulate this. I know this is true. It’s so incredibly hard to let go of it all-it just doesn’t seem possible at times.
" -it just doesn’t seem possible at times." For me too, there are what I used to name " good days and bad days". better to think of these as days where there is harmony and days where there are opportunities to feel more deeply that which presents itself. That which we gradually have a capacity to be with that brings us into presence. It is a life process.
I wish you well in your own process.
@@Call-Me-Sam thank you
You have a beautiful spirit! 💕
Peace and gratitude.
❤ becoming real ❤ love and prayers to you as always
"Only Love is real". Amen. Jesus is Love personified. Our Heavenly Father is Love understood and the Sweet, Precious Holy Spirit is His Love felt. God bless you, Sam. Be healed in the power and authority of the name of Jesus Christ our soon returning King. ❤
Hello Sam! What a blessing to see you again. You are healing and that is amazing! It takes time to heal after the years of abuse. Jesus loves you, Sam. God has saved every tear you've cried. His Word says so. Keep moving toward the goodness of God's love. Baby steps are still steps! You are in my prayers every day dear Sam. Much love to you!
Become a friend to your monster inside….for only then it is no longer scary. It cannot scare us any more because we understand it well.
Resistance is futile. You are beautiful, thank you for sharing nature, books and thoughts. Camille
Thank you
Hi, i still am a trans male, but Sam’s feelings and ideas helped me to overcome fear of quitting testosterone, which really supresses my deeper feelings very much. Hi to everybody, we are nature’s warriors and we can make it - bye❤️
Such awesome insights. These videos help me. Thank you
Thank you
Love you Sam. Grateful to find your videos, thanks to you for sharing with all of us your experience. It’s like listening to a Guru that has really experienced it in his own flesh, not just by having thought about that and having found the most logical answer. Life is logical, be we can’t get its logic behind until we experience it. U are a precious human being, it seems to me as if you have traveled dimensions while being alive, and then has come back. For sure it’s painful, like your body get disassembled and the reassembled on the other side, as we have seen in sci-fi movies. Maybe some parts changes, we for sure do. U has been a tremendous life traveler, and your reports are precious, your perspective is. I’m thankful to have you here. Even if far. Love from Italy.
Thank you. Working it out as I go but stumbling into a well trodden path toward universal truth.
Some uk podcasters that unravel this kind of journey would no doubt love to hear your story sam xx
Thank you. I really struggle with interviews, I've had a couple and also had offers , even from fox news but I just know that the ptsd would have me in super vigilant fight or flight and I wouldn't be able to think straight. Maybe some time in the near future that'll change but right now it is what it is . XX
@@Call-Me-Sam I can understand that x
Thank you for that video 🙏
I’m so happy I found you I needed answers to my questions in my life
You’re such a beautiful and profound person ❤
I love the trees they have all the ancient wisdom in them wanting to teach us I believe we just have to listen and I thank you very much for your videos very helpful comforting for me and I'm sure thousands of others
I needed to hear that this morning. I need resistance to grow.......
So lovely to see you here again. Your message is so life affirming. I too notice my healing in relation to the realities and poetry of the natural world. Thank you Sam. 😊
Thanks Jean
Much love for real!
We love you Sam.❤
Hello Sam! One of your best video so far, very helpful. I hope you won't mind me saying this but I think your detransition is a succes, you look more and more masculine. Take care.
Thank you, yes I think so . My voice is changing as is the ease with which I inhabit myself.
i seen that CS Lewis book but never read it, i think i aught to tho. I only read his Narnia books and Screwtape Letters. love the Narnia books even as an adult, so much in them, The Silver Chair might be my unofficial fave in the series, its all about staying sober-minded and lucid with spiritual discernment in this dream-like distracting 'reality' and staying on the Path, and about having Hope in a world that appears to be so crazy and nihilistic
Thank you 🌹
I look forward to your videos
This is such an incredibly powerful video Sam, thank you so much. Xx
This resonates deeply.
Thanks for the video Sam.
Hi Ricky. Thank you
Our primary reality is consciousness. We are all One. And, yes, only love is real 💕
I agree that, from an absolute point of view, that is to say a metaphysical point of view, there is nothing wrong about us. But from an everyday-life point of view, there may be something deeply "wrong" about us, in the sense that we are forever ostracized, despised, ill-treated, abused, and so on, by most of the folks we come across during our lives, depite all of our efforts to be loved and accepted, or even depite all our efforts to make ourselves invisible... And thus, as far as I am concerned, up to now, my only means to momentarily free myself from that socially defined "wrongness" has been to flee from social reality into the realms of art and spirituality. Now, one can argue that from a metaphysical point of view, social reality is not real... But still... Also, you seem to consider that our "wrongness" is above all a subjective perception, and that we all the same manage to "function", but actually when that "wrongness" is really here, in a pervasive way, we are unable to function...
Agreed. But, which is more important, more real, metaphysical or social ? For any awakening or awakened person, traumatised or not, navigating social is a necessary skill , discerning appropriateness in conduct is an illustration of spiritual development .
Reflecting on my own experience, as I began to see myself clearly I could see that my behaviour invited how I was treated by others .
It is extremely painful to investigate the why of that behaviour and to clearly see what motivated it, and perpetuated it , othering myself and inviting being othered. .
But, that clear seeing is also why the behaviours began to change. The inner wrongness is still present , as are the compensating behaviours but they are far less extreme and far less intrusive. As I said in the video, desperation has drastically reduced , if it's there at all.
Change is possible.
Hi Sam! You popped up on my "inner screens" this morning so I made a mental note to come to your channel and see if you posted something new that I didn't get a notification for and here you are!
Good to see you again.
Sam, may I suggest you put a link to your PayPal account under the description of each video? More people look there than the channel description I feel. AND, I'd like to see you get more support. 💖
Beautiful surroundings in this video btw! So much love to you Sam. ❤️😘 Be well. Be happy.
Good idea . Thank you
Great video Sam. Can you do a video about how childhood trauma can effect sexual orientation and romantic relationships in general please.
There is a lovely book called "No Bad Parts" by Richard C. Schwartz. I'm not sure if you've read it but you seem to be speaking these same concepts regularly. I seldom comment but thought this might be of interests to some of your subscribers.
Thank you. Yes, this book has been mentioned before. IFS seems to be a universal image we can work with to accept and include all or fragments in kindness and compassion.
IFS. Without it, I don’t think I was ever going to loosen the knots inside.
Hi Sam
This is a comment I felt compelled to write to you. I think about the insights in your videos almost daily.
I am a detransitioner, but I detransitioned when I was only 15 years old. I was a transgender child, a female wanting to be a male.
I see so many others in my situation, and they are all very similar to me in personality. This is absolutely a trend. It is a material solution to a spiritual problem.
I want to speak out, to find the truth. But they didn’t listen, they’re not listening still. Perhaps they never will.
You have helped me profoundly when you said we don’t need to “heal” ourselves. We are human and need to be loved. But very rarely are we shown how to do this by others. So we struggle to love, accept and forgive ourselves and the pattern of hurt and unconsciousness continues. Until someone is courageous enough to be still, to listen.
Please Know that I am proud of you for searching for the truth. You have helped me and countless others. So often I am upset by the current state of transgender politics and how it has influenced my peers. The pain of being unseen repeats over and over again.
But I am also grateful for the opportunity to heal and see reality deeply at a young age.
Since I am 20 now and have been on a path of healing since I was 15 or 16. It is hard, but there is no other way. I hope to guide my future children into unconditional love of themselves and others. I hope you and I can be united in making this world a more loving, safe place. Sending a lot of love from Australia.
Thank you so much . I hear you, sometimes it feels as though the world has collectively gone mad and the most radical thing we can do is be as truthful as possible in our own lives , how we show up and how we conduct ourselves.
Thank you for inspiring me to continue.
@@Call-Me-Samalways. Know that you are inspiring me as the younger generation to live a life of truth. This is the greatest gift you can possibly give. Thank you
@velura.artist This means so much more than you know. Thank you.
Books I recommend: The Body Keeps score by Bessel Van Der Kolk , MD. , Waking the Tiger healing trama by Peter Levine . Thank you for this video it's helpful to me . ❤
Thank you
You have the most beautiful voice.
Thank you.
Imo you should keep focused on yourself until you are much more recovered. You're not responsible for others. Get yourself healthy first. Then if you feel like it, come back. There's a bloke on here who used to do videos about recovering from alcoholism, Beyond Sober. He's realised he needs to stop doing them and focuses on something else now. You're very articulate and incredibly good at communicating
Thank you. I hear you and yes, you're right . Like I said , I'm not desperate anymore and if I don't have anything to say, so be it, I'll wait until I do. This channel has been a double edged sword really, both helpful and incredibly destabilising but I think the positives of sharing outweigh the negatives so I shall keep going but not pressure myself .
Thank you again.
@Call-Me-Sam always remember. Looking after yourself is paramount. I've watched alot of your stuff. The last thing you need is any negativity or pressure in your life after everything you have been through and come to so far. I wouldn't usually write like this to someone I don't know. I'm pretty sure you will sort yourself out. Maybe get yourself a dog 😆
Thank you. Yes, a dog is a part of my future but right now I have other peoples to look after .... and I love them all.
We are Billy Kasper all grown up, I love you Sam ❤
