Rejecting parts of self... we all do it. This is a protective mechanism that we automatically do in order to survive in the environments we grow up in. If a personality trait of the self is deemed unworthy or unlovable by our caregivers or society, we start to reject (suppress) those parts of self. We do this in order to receive love an belonging, which are basic needs as humans in order to survive. It can become a sacrifice to get those needs met which then comes with consequences. When we start to consistently reject parts of self, we are also rejecting aspects of our light, our power, our medicine. Tune in to today's episode to dive deeper!
