This week has been beyond what I could have expected. The intensity and difficulty in meeting all of the parts of myself. The memories and aspects of the self that live in our bodies and tissues and that never forget. That call out to us with any platform they can use. Anxiety, depression, ptsd, anger, illness. Seeing my inner children who all wanted to shout, scream, shiver, cry and release all they held inside. They completed the cycle they needed. They were met with all they were lacking. The beauty and courage and love that arises from within once you meet what lives in your shadow. At times I was tested and felt like I couldn’t keep going. The kindness warmth and vulnerability that I was met with was beyond what I thought was possible. We melt and release our armor, once we look around a group only to see shining eyes and warm faces. I cannot thank pat and this crew enough for giving me the space to be whatever I needed to be in the moment. I’ve seen spirit guide the past five days so blatantly that it has left me floored. I am still unpacking the gift of seeing all the parts in myself I wish weren’t there and allowing them to have a seat at the table. I no longer want to be healed but rather find acceptance for all of who we each are instead. The good, the bad, the ugly. It is all welcome here. Having the courage to lean into my vulnerability and be able to say with a trembling voice “I’m scared shitless and I don’t have my stuff together. I need you to see me”. Pure bliss and freedom comes from admitting our most honest truths and have pure love reflected back to you. I found reverence for this work and sat wide eyed as I witnessed its magic. Though there is never one path to wholeness, this is one of my most profound gateways. Grateful to be learning this practice soon and to take it out into the world. Thank you kind souls for allowing this experience to shape me and how I approach clients, friends, my lover and all. Let’s get vulnerable.♥️ #emotionalreleasetherapy #patjackman #ert
