    Maybe we’re a mess because we’re facing the results of record high inflation, a lack of community caused by bad housing infrastructure and social media, or the fact that living is so hard and the easiest ways we can self-sooth is said social media, drinking, and binge watching Netflix.
    Idk though, I just guessing.

    Everything said on EGO I wrote down word for word in a notebook. Just mind-blowing and I’ve been in a recovery program for 3 years and we always mention ego but nobody has said anything this insightful. And so many people in the meetings give a look when they know you absorb yourself with too much non approved material that wasn’t written by our peeps. And I’m like sorry I don’t just have substance problems. I have mental health & apparently loads of other things. I am always like oh I saw this great TedTalk and they are like 😒 Whatever if it kept me sober that day I count it as a win!

    Unresolved trauma will negatively manifest itself in every aspect of your adult life if you don't make a conscious effort to change the trajectory of your life. We all have the agency to change our lives for the better, but sometimes it's a matter of first recognizing that we have a problem that needs fixing. From there, we have to identify the necessary action steps to create lasting and positive change. It's never easy "parenting yourself" but it's a worthwhile effort if it means being able to create meaningful adult connections and living a life you're proud of. -Emma

    I've definitely had to work a lot on healing my inner child, and my therapist and I are still working on it, but I also feel like some shadow work will be in order, as I'm facing a certain situation I didn't think I'd face, and my impulse is to just go ahead with it, consequences be damned. However, it would likely mess up my own sense of self and morality, so yeah, definitely need to discuss that. Thank you so much for all of your wonderful content!
