But what's the balance here? Do you face the trauma head on and do the shadow work to eliminate its power over you or do you rise above it in order to break the identity pattern? What tools or modalities do you use? Where does it settle, in what you consider to be your greater purpose and is there peace to be found around it? The biggest questions for me might be, is there even an answer to any of these fucking random ass existential questions and does any of it actually matter? That's a personal preference, honestly.
Your purpose in your life should override your trauma, should it not? I ask that as a question because questions create space. But in the opposite vain, seeking immediate answers creates limitations. I learned that along the way someplace! Needing an immediate answer to the question limits your curiosity and curiosity is what fuels exploration. And what are we as human beings in this human experience if not simply explorers? What are the traits of a good explorer, in your opinion? If you create your own list of what you believe makes a good explorer of any kind, outer world or inner world, it is my belief that you'll be on your way to disidentifying with the trauma that may or may not have held you captive for majority of your life. But how much does that matter to you? Only you can answer that question, but should you? I am just flowing with ideas here and it is all wide open for interpretation.
If you decide to make a list, I'd love to know how that experience was for you, if you'd like to share how it felt. I'm rooting for you and I believe in you. Love you! Mean it! Keep going!
