How Self-Healing is Collective Healing
The way you create safety for others is by first creating it for yourself. I can sit with you in your pain and uncomfortable emotions because I have sat in mine.
Hiding behind the shield of perfectionism and focusing only on the positive takes away your capacity to truly be with, see, and support those you love and those you guide. Your shadow is not something to be avoided, the dark is just as important as the light-- and both are needed for individual and collective healing.
Healing yourself is healing to others.
