Inner Work — Is It Really Worth Doing?
People fear the inner work. Understandably. It can feel like a nightmare in there…
Emotions. Painful ones. The ones we’ve avoided for decades and more.
All lurking inside us, waiting to tear us apart…
How often I hear people say… ‘I don’t want to start exploring that stuff. I’d start crying and I know I’d never stop.’
I felt that way myself, for years.
How many of us choose death by slow addiction, rather than facing that inner world? We’re frightened of painful emotions. They overwhelm us. They seem to threaten our very survival.
Maybe we reach a point where we can no longer avoid this inner work. We reach out for help. There are so many approaches and who knows which approach is the best fit for us? It’s bewildering. We’re lost in a world we don’t recognise...
What if you were the one who knows? The only one who knows…
What if you were the expert on you?
I don’t mean we don’t ask for advice or information. Of course there are others who know WAY more about the world of emotion and trauma than we do.
But what if we had infallible inner guidance inside?
