Thank you so much for doing this, Even just the preface I'm already in tears just from how relatable it is. Thank you for doing the work and sharing so we can all do it and benefit.
I'm 51 years old and am JUST BEGINNING TO FEEL FREE 😌 ✨. I am JUST BEGINNING TO FINALLY BE... ME. What perfect timing that I found this community at this very pivotal point in my life. Thank you all for what you're doing and much you're helping people!
Thank you from Ukraine. I`m near my 40th and less than year ago I`ve started to obtaine psycologic help. Here, in Ukraine, it is sort of stygma and quite hard to take courage to begin the healing. Especially if you`re suffering from anxiety and allways shaming yourself in everything. But I did it :) And I started to look info about my problem. And thanks to Universe and social media I`ve found your account. You are talking with understandable words and about things that I've allready passed. Now I feel that my anxeity is not me and I feel great releif whyle listening you
So thankful to find this atthis time in my life. My yesr of healing is underway. This book & podcast is a blessing. You are giving tools to every soul that is willing to do the work to heal & overcome generational curses/trauma/programming. 💜
Yes. 2010 Dark night of the Soul. Hospitalizations, pharmaceuticals. Lots of walking in the woods. An awakening moment of feeling complete bliss. 11 years later I’m a completely new person. And still on the journey of more looking inside to see how my being works.
All of this but 30yrs in my late 20s but there was no help. Just a label of mental health condition which u even had to hide if like myself u had children. Ultimately we cant runaway from our true selves so embrace it. Thank u ladies for your amazing insightful info. Ive followed Nicole via Instagram for years. Id recommend it 💯% 💞💞💞💞💞💞💞
Thank you for doing do work and bring it more to civilization. Sharing youre expirience is great, because we really have ro speak the truth. A lot of people are deeply traumatized and they dont even know it. I think we have many dark nights of soul. My started as anxious and believing that I was crazy, and wanted to go in hospital and to find some doctors who can wash that out of me. Some voice came out of me "I just cant do it anymore. I dont know what is driving me, but I want to see all of that". That was some deeper part of me suffering so much calling for me. And the real thing is that as much as I suffered I could come back to my old self. This is a life journey. So, thank you for youre support.
54 years old, diagnosed with ADHD last year, and have lived through several dark nights, not knowing why it was soooo haaaarrrddd So much brain fog, so many obstacles like PMDD (related to ADHD, too) and found this by searching for tools to help emotional intelligence and maturity. Backtracking from that episode because I liked it so much. Your generation leading the way ❤
I have one chapter left and will start rereading it while listening to the podcasts. It's a book you just never stop reading. ❤ Thank you both and your tribe for doing what you do!
Need recommendation please.. I’ve been in a journey of change for a year and my biggest struggle is consistency. I have a huge list of changes that NEED to happen. Some changes NEEDS OTHER changes to happen first…. But ALL of the changes are equally important…. SO I AM SPINNING!!!! I am not being successful enough to have my work really make a difference. If that makes sense…??? I don’t know how to focus on 1 or 2 things. I’m Overwhelmed
Today i found your channel and i am extremely thankful to you both..i feel like this is what i was looking for for so long..and finally i have found something that will help me.
Is it normal to have dark nights - multiple decades & way too often. Never seen a therapist - I need too - if I could find one - but your videos are so spot on - wow. Relatable
I have been on my journey for 7 years and have just found you at a divine time as I must be ready for the next layer which is a deeeep one. I feel I am on my second Dark night having t face that all the inner child healing i have been doing has been from a mind place , not a connected or emotional place. Its time to validate her experience - at least what I can remember
I just found you, and I’m excited to hear more...and read more! What a great idea to discuss a section of your book each week. Edit add: See if you can get on a podcast with Rich Roll. He’s an amazing human and so chill
Thank you for sharing your stories. I relate so much to Dr. Nicole and have so many more issues. I am working with a therapist but I truly feel this is extremely important to my success. I will continue to watch.
I lost my mother at 15 and 2yrs ago I out lived her now that was a really hard time for me. I never hated or was angry with her for leaving she lived a very painful life on this planet and I truly believe she is not hurting anymore. She was not one I communicated with about anything going on with me we did have a very affectionate relationship but that's where it ended. What I would of loved and really miss is having an adult conversation with her like so many womyn I know that don't take that opportunity with their mothers or mother figures that really make me go like why not. For 31 yrs now I've been healing that huge gap in my heart and soul of losing my mother at such a young age. And no my mom was not an addict just really hurt human being that died of those hurt feelings through cancer that started in her breast and generalized in the the end. I miss you mom I wish you were here love you 😍
Nicole, I so resonate with everything with what you recall from your childhood and all your symptoms , the brain fog, the disassociation from everyone around you, digestive issues, anxiety, depression, panic attacks etc etc. I am 71 years old and it has only been since last year that I finally found out I had CPTSD and that realisation came after having a nervous break down. I had mental health problems all my adult life and just mainly got along on auto pilot most of that time. I have your book and only just found these videos which are perfect for me as I love reading but finding it hard to focus and I find these podcasts on YT make learning so much easier. I discovered that it's the disregulation of my nervous system at the core of my problems, which makes sense after the trauma of lack of bonding or nurturing from my Mother in my childhood, and being molested at the age of 14 years old. Like a lot of people I have tried many healing modalities over the years, some helped for a short time, but never really got to to heal it completely. I so desperately want to heal my nervous system and get to grips with all aspects of my mental health. I have lost so many opportunities and relationships, and money in my life due to childhood trauma that I am still hoping I can turn it around and fulfils my dreams even at the age of 71years old.
Is this channel still active? I just found you today. I’ve been going through the dark night since the beginning of the plandemic. The mask mandates brought back memories of traumatic experiences with a former boyfriend. I have had a colorful life. I relate to much of what each of these women described. I’m now 62 feel like I’m playing catch-up with the 30-something’s who got this already.
I just found this channel by chance Dr Nicole. I have your book although I am yet to read it due to brain fog. To have a podcast which actually talks through the chapters of your book is amazing and just what I need. I was raised by emotionally neglectful and emotionally dysregulated parents and then I married a covert narcissist. I was in a toxic dynamic for 47 years of my life . I am 2 years out and everyday is a school day on learning how life should really feel like. I am finally recognising and processing my emotions instead of shutting them out. I understand that when i shake, it is my anxiety kicking in. I know what dissociation is but spent years not understanding why I was blanking out. I have so much to learn but thankfully there are people like you who are willing to help others because of what you have experienced. Thank you.
I first heard the term while learning to intuitively read tarot. However, I went through a dark night of the soul in my late 20’s. Also, I don’t know if it’s possible to have another or go even deeper; but I think I’m coming out of another now, at 50.
Hello, through my journey... Amazing, I must share of the Shadow Work that I am working on for a second time in my life. Identifying with the discussion, today I have reached an awakening! Having a understanding that I can now take action, again. I can eliminate the auto pilot in order to move forward. Thanks for expressing the spiritual/religious aspect in relation to a science. Namaste ☯️ Balance ⚖️ Think, Feel, Be "Whole" with one's self. Thank you 🌞
Experiencing the dark night of the soul has catapulted me to a new awareness and awakening that has changed me from the inside out. So thankful for #the.holistic.psychologist and SHC. Love your podcasts 🙏🙏
I thought I was crazy when my awakening started! It's so nice to hear others have gone through the same thing at around the same age. Almost 10 years now, I've been learning everything I can about the mind and human nature obsessively even listening to books while sleeping, but I still hold myself back. I appreciate your contribution to helping others I feel my purpose is to do so as well!
I noticed you put up a short recently on codependent parenting. I have an 11 month old who is refusing to eat enough or drink enough milk most of the time but he is very thoughtful and considerate. As a former childcare worker, one of my favorite strategies dealing with a toddler child in a situation like this would be to appeal to his better nature by explaining that its my job to make sure he gets fed and therefore even if he wont eat it for his own sake, would he perhaps be willing to eat his snack to help me out a bit. As a mom, i have found some small success in asking my baby boy to eat "one last bite for mommy" or explaining why its important for him to eat and that i worry if he doesnt eat enough and i could feel a whole lot better about it if he would just eat the minimum of what he absolutely needs so i wouldnt have to worry if hes healthy. Of course he is 11 months old and while his language understanding is incredibly advanced for his age it is still extremely limited and im not sure how much of what im saying is being understood; but i am also making a conscious effort to create healthy patterns of speech and interaction with him early on so that it will already be a habit. So my question is, in this scenario, would you say that it is unhealthy to make it about me- to not have to worry if hes eating enough, if making it about him almost never works, but this tactic does seem to work more often than not. [Note: It may or may not be relevent that i am an autistic mom of an 11 month old who has no sign of developmental delay, but who statistically has a blindingly high chance of being neurodivergent in some form or fashion.]
Thank you for this episode. I was shocked by how much I could relate to both your stories. I'm still going through my DNOTS but you've given me hope on how it turns out.
Man, I am so grateful I found your channel! I watched you on Impact Theory & then realized I was already following you on IG. Very cool of you to create a channel with practical & real healing for regular people going through this experience completely BROKE & incapable of paying unrealistic prices just so we can breathe & heal our wounds!! You are gifting us with an incredible opportunity through which we can be & experience what our souls intended! Very very cool my friend!!! You are so appreciated!! 🙏🙏🙏
Thank you very much for all your sharing!!!! I only came across your program recently in Spotify but as soon as I first heard, it made such sense for me that it has been my morning routine company since!!!! Really grateful for this discovery!!! Continue doing this amazing work!!! Believe that it is indeed helpful!!!! Kind regards from Portugal!!!!
Refreshing to hear healing may be methodical, deliberate, and a bit slow. In addition the deeper, on a daily basis with commitment I go inside the more effective the healing will be. I have two of your books and look forward to next week.
Awesome definition of the dark night. I've read many articles about the dark night in my search for clarity and meaning and none have described it as clearly and accurately as you did here 💕 I'm very grateful for your work
Thank you for these deep authentic shares. I have had two dark nights of the soul that were a dramatic metamorphic experience. I literally lost all capacity to rely on everything I had studied, learned and relied on as my path. I felt as if my brain went unplugged, my vision blurred and my tether severed. This tether or connection that I relied heavily on disappeared. I felt like I was floating alone in space, in this world, with no belonging or guidance. I was unable to read or get any help from the outside. Very alone and scary. A year of horrible dark pain until I finally let go. The renaissance came from the humble yet deep realization that there was nothing to be connected to and therefore the connection was never severed BECAUSE I can’t be disconnected from what I already am. That is where a new journey began. Thank you for your authentic share.
I have not surrendered yet, but I'm glad to have come across this video. I first heard the term "Dark Night of the Soul" in 2018 as I was being lead by The Holy Spirit to take a deeper look at myself in the mirror 🪞 So I call it "Journeying Through The Mirror" Thank you for your podcasts and all you do to help bring people to home to themselves 💕
As someone going thru the “Dark Night of the Soul”, this book and this series is invaluable to me! Thank you so very much for your commitment to help others🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
So grateful to you, Dr. Nicole & Jenna for creating this. I came across your Instagram profile close to 2 years ago, and it's been a journey for me since then. Excited to see further episodes and listen to your journey and heal along. Love to both of you.
Wow. I just came across this and this episode was posted on my 55th birthday, April 18, 2021. There are no coincidences in this life. Everything happens as it is meant to, when it is meant to and not one second before or after it is meant to. In my not so humble opinion. ~ APRIL LIPKE
So very grateful, for such minds and talks/ books in the " self help" category. But this is deeper to me....the awareness of the darkness....people are just too damn scared to recognize it! I mean, I get that too, but being on the other side of the " woo, woo" I am much more free. Free to release or welcome new thought forms, my own thoughts, being welcomed and not judged. You don't know what you don't know right, but to not sit with emotions and look at them and work out your own process, is just a travesty to me. Of course this is coming from the other side, so it it's easy and actually pleasurable to do so, even with the pain that can be experienced. THANK YOU LADIES FOR SHARING AND KEEP UP THE GOOD WORKS!!!!! Life altering in the best way imaginable and I feel a sister-hood with you gorgeous gals.🥰💜🤗
I am in complete shock that you two women described everything that I went/am going through. My dark nights have been happening since childhood. They are a complete surprise when they happen. I have found a deep connection with nature mainly trees when they do happen. I work in Healthcare and have a deep connection with the passing too. I have so much I want to share because u two described everything that I have been going through my whole life in the exact order. I thought the brain fogs were normal. The brain fogs get so bad sometimes that I forget what I am going to say in the middle of a sentence. Everything seems so heightened. Thank you for sharing all of your knowledge, I truly feel like I can start to have a grip on things. 🤎
I never knew I could be my own home. I always thought it had to be something outside of me to call home, but I want nothing more than it to be inside me
I resonate with not being present, being disconnected from my body. It was almost as if I was somewhere else all the time while my body was here on Earth and just going through the motions. I always felt as if I was just existing instead of living. Honestly, I was terrified of living 😞 Thank you 🙏
Im so happy you made this!!! Definitely a huge fan! I just finished you book!!! Its amazing i bought two for two close friends. Im Definitely part of the selfHealing squad!! XO i love the text messages, reminders are such a good idea
Can this happen several times in your life? I had my first one at 27 but currently feel that episode 2 is there....with stuff that didnt come up the first time around and also new stuff due to societal "expextations" of a 35 year old Woman :(
Hi Nicole, it was amazing listening to you both! May I know if everyone will definitely experience ‘dark night of the soul ‘ in their life? Is it kind of mandatory to experience this dark night of the soul, prior to being awakened to inner call of authentic self?
Thank you so much for doing the master class! It really helps me dive deeper into the topics of the book (aka myself). Which I’m currently listening to on Audible. 💗 can’t wait to continue on this journey with you
I’m pretty sure ( based off experience) that the majority of the dark night experiences is nothing more than childhood trauma coming to the surface. A type of ptsd.... mostly in the form of emotional flashbacks..... vs visual. I am also confident that only Christ (not Christianity nor religion) is ultimately the only answer to healing the soul wound. The deeper we look inside, the more desolation you will probably find because we were made to be united with the creator and only him/her can “fill” and heal that void.
This was an amazing first episode... I'm definitely buying the book! I love your content on IG and am an avid follower and commenter... thank you both for. sharing your wisdom 💕
Thank you for this episode. Definitely a death of the old self and old reality for a higher calling. Has anyone experienced a DNOTS where they awaken to a new perception of reality/the Universe. Realizations that life is not all it appears and that you are actually a psychic/medium/Empath/intuitive and just really receptive to energy vs actually having an actual “mental dis-order”, and anxiety?
Thank you both so so much! I really need this I have a lot of info on these things but doing the work to implement this knowledge has been a challenge. I ordered your book today 💖🙌💖
I just preordered your new workbook and decided I needed to restart my journey with “How To Do the Work”. I get super ‘itchy’? Restless? Afraid?! I’m thinking afraid is the better word, with this work and I have to stop and step away. Similar to being afraid of heights and walking out into a very high walking bridge and having to come back each time I try to venture out. And then I just stopped trying. Is that ‘normal’ or common? Any advice? Or is that something I will get if I keep reading?
My dark night feels like the dissatisfaction I have with my life even though I’ve also recently checked my own boxes. I don’t know why I’m so dissatisfied with my life when I’m with the one person I wanted to be with in my life and we have 3 cats who we love so much and we have our own place and I have high paying job but somehow it all doesn’t feel like how I thought it should. It feels like I can’t even be alone with myself. I have to call people or talk to people or be around people because being alone is scary.
haha "I ran screaming anything that is religion or spirituality!" Don't poo poo the woo woo! They say the unholy trinity is "science - religion - politics"
It’s crazy I actually grew up in a very strict religious family. However we still had all the dysfunctional norms that were mentioned in this podcast. I remember trying to be the best Christian person I could be in order to have God finally fix my mess. I had no idea I would be the one to fix my own life. #selfhealer 💚
Thank you for watching!
Thank you for this 🙏
thank you very much for this episode
Thank you so much for doing this, Even just the preface I'm already in tears just from how relatable it is. Thank you for doing the work and sharing so we can all do it and benefit.
Great series! Thank you both. ♥️
Thank you Nicole for your support 💜🙏
I’m so grateful that I’ve able to access this type of information for free from my cell phone. What an amazing time to be alive and returning home 💚
Our pleasure!
DITTO 😁!!
Yes Yes! I'm two years late but still very very grateful! Thank you 🙏🏾

I'm applying to go back to school to become a doctor of psych and my dissertation will be on you, doctor.
Need recommendation please..
I’ve been in a journey of change for a year and my biggest struggle is consistency.
I have a huge list of changes that NEED to happen. Some changes NEEDS OTHER changes to happen first…. But ALL of the changes are equally important…. SO I AM SPINNING!!!! I am not being successful enough to have my work really make a difference. If that makes sense…??? I don’t know how to focus on 1 or 2 things. I’m Overwhelmed
Love this dr and work snd videos! And you might find the daily practice from the crappy childhood fairy to be useful?
Today i found your channel and i am extremely thankful to you both..i feel like this is what i was looking for for so long..and finally i have found something that will help me.

I just found this channel by chance Dr Nicole. I have your book although I am yet to read it due to brain fog. To have a podcast which actually talks through the chapters of your book is amazing and just what I need.
I was raised by emotionally neglectful and emotionally dysregulated parents and then I married a covert narcissist. I was in a toxic dynamic for 47 years of my life .

I believe we can have more than one and at different measurements too
And how are you now?? I’m feeling it also atm.. or Chiron return also.. the wounded healer.. its happening for 7 yrs 😵💫
Hello, through my journey...
Amazing, I must share of the Shadow Work that I am working on for a second time in my life. Identifying with the discussion, today I have reached an awakening!

Thank you so much, you guys are doing incredible work, these videos are so helpful, please don't ever stop with this podcast, thank you so much 💙💚💛🧡🤍
Lately I’ve been recognizing recognizing recognizing but I want to know when the healing starts
Thank you for this episode. I was shocked by how much I could relate to both your stories. I'm still going through my DNOTS but you've given me hope on how it turns out.

Just found your podcast. Thank you Ladies. Heart to Heart. Soul to soul
Such a great initiative to explain the meaning of your fantastic book in chapters. Love it!!
Awesome definition of the dark night. I've read many articles about the dark night in my search for clarity and meaning and none have described it as clearly and accurately as you did here 💕 I'm very grateful for your work

Thank you for these deep authentic shares. I have had two dark nights of the soul that were a dramatic metamorphic experience. I literally lost all capacity to rely on everything I had studied, learned and relied on as my path. I felt as if my brain went unplugged, my vision blurred and my tether severed. This tether or connection that I relied heavily on disappeared. I felt like I was floating alone in space, in this world, with no belonging or guidance. I was unable to read or get any help from the outside. Very alone and scary. A year of horrible dark pain until I finally let go. The renaissance came from the humble yet deep realization that there was nothing to be connected to and therefore the connection was never severed BECAUSE I can’t be disconnected from what I already am. That is where a new journey began. Thank you for your authentic share.

I have not surrendered yet, but I'm glad to have come across this video. I first heard the term "Dark Night of the Soul" in 2018 as I was being lead by The Holy Spirit to take a deeper look at myself in the mirror 🪞 So I call it "Journeying Through The Mirror" Thank you for your podcasts and all you do to help bring people to home to themselves 💕
As someone going thru the “Dark Night of the Soul”, this book and this series is invaluable to me! Thank you so very much for your commitment to help others🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
So grateful to you, Dr. Nicole & Jenna for creating this. I came across your Instagram profile close to 2 years ago, and it's been a journey for me since then. Excited to see further episodes and listen to your journey and heal along. Love to both of you.
Glad it was helpful!
Wow. I just came across this and this episode was posted on my 55th birthday, April 18, 2021.
There are no coincidences in this life. Everything happens as it is meant to, when it is meant to and not one second before or after it is meant to. In my not so humble opinion.

So very grateful, for such minds and talks/ books in the " self help" category. But this is deeper to me....the awareness of the darkness....people are just too damn scared to recognize it! I mean, I get that too, but being on the other side of the " woo, woo" I am much more free. Free to release or welcome new thought forms, my own thoughts, being welcomed and not judged. You don't know what you don't know right, but to not sit with emotions and look at them and work out your own process, is just a travesty to me. Of course this is coming from the other side, so it it's easy and actually pleasurable to do so, even with the pain that can be experienced. THANK YOU LADIES FOR SHARING AND KEEP UP THE GOOD WORKS!!!!! Life altering in the best way imaginable and I feel a sister-hood with you gorgeous gals.🥰💜🤗
I am in complete shock that you two women described everything that I went/am going through. My dark nights have been happening since childhood. They are a complete surprise when they happen. I have found a deep connection with nature mainly trees when they do happen. I work in Healthcare and have a deep connection with the passing too. I have so much I want to share because u two described everything that I have been going through my whole life in the exact order. I thought the brain fogs were normal. The brain fogs get so bad sometimes that I forget what I am going to say in the middle of a sentence. Everything seems so heightened. Thank you for sharing all of your knowledge, I truly feel like I can start to have a grip on things. 🤎
O my God!! Wow wow wow... What a series. So grateful. Both of you thank🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
I never knew I could be my own home. I always thought it had to be something outside of me to call home, but I want nothing more than it to be inside me
I resonate with not being present, being disconnected from my body. It was almost as if I was somewhere else all the time while my body was here on Earth and just going through the motions. I always felt as if I was just existing instead of living. Honestly, I was terrified of living 😞 Thank you 🙏
I have completed till chapter 4, I'll proceed after listening to the podcasts.
Congratulations 😊😊😍🤩🙏🏿❤️. This needs to be heard by the whole world!!!
Im so happy you made this!!! Definitely a huge fan! I just finished you book!!! Its amazing i bought two for two close friends. Im Definitely part of the selfHealing squad!! XO i love the text messages, reminders are such a good idea
Thank you I have just received my book and I am looking forward to watching along while I’m reading my book ! 🙏❤️🙏
🙏What a great gift you are🙏
I have been following you via FB and received the book before it became a best seller. ¡gracias!
Spot on.❤
Can this happen several times in your life? I had my first one at 27 but currently feel that episode 2 is there....with stuff that didnt come up the first time around and also new stuff due to societal "expextations" of a 35 year old Woman :(
Jenna, thank you so much for the validation that I'm not crazy. I can relate so much.
Hi Nicole, it was amazing listening to you both! May I know if everyone will definitely experience ‘dark night of the soul ‘ in their life? Is it kind of mandatory to experience this dark night of the soul, prior to being awakened to inner call of authentic self?
Thank you so much for doing the master class! It really helps me dive deeper into the topics of the book (aka myself). Which I’m currently listening to on Audible. 💗 can’t wait to continue on this journey with you
Fantastic first episode thanks ladies xx
Thank you changing my life! ❤️
Why am i only seeing the Chanel now..
Thank you so much..
Thank you so much 🖤
I’m pretty sure ( based off experience) that the majority of the dark night experiences is nothing more than childhood trauma coming to the surface.
A type of ptsd.... mostly in the form of emotional flashbacks..... vs visual.
I am also confident that only Christ (not Christianity nor religion) is ultimately the only answer to healing the soul wound.
The deeper we look inside, the more desolation you will probably find because we were made to be united with the creator and only him/her can “fill” and heal that void.
This was an amazing first episode... I'm definitely buying the book! I love your content on IG and am an avid follower and commenter... thank you both for. sharing your wisdom 💕
Thank you for this episode. Definitely a death of the old self and old reality for a higher calling. Has anyone experienced a DNOTS where they awaken to a new perception of reality/the Universe. Realizations that life is not all it appears and that you are actually a psychic/medium/Empath/intuitive and just really receptive to energy vs actually having an actual “mental dis-order”, and anxiety?
Thank you both so so much! I really need this I have a lot of info on these things but doing the work to implement this knowledge has been a challenge. I ordered your book today 💖🙌💖
Amazing!!!
Thank you for your channel!
Just want to say that I'm loving these podcasts please add me right now
Thank you
Any plans on distributing to more podcast platforms? I listen with the pocketcast app and it's not on there yet.
Yes you can find it on Apple and Spotify as well
Amazing!!! 20:00 was a massive light bulb moment for me, that’s exactly what Ive been through
Thank you ❤️ ❤️
I just preordered your new workbook and decided I needed to restart my journey with “How To Do the Work”. I get super ‘itchy’? Restless? Afraid?! I’m thinking afraid is the better word, with this work and I have to stop and step away. Similar to being afraid of heights and walking out into a very high walking bridge and having to come back each time I try to venture out. And then I just stopped trying.
Is that ‘normal’ or common? Any advice? Or is that something I will get if I keep reading?
My dark night feels like the dissatisfaction I have with my life even though I’ve also recently checked my own boxes. I don’t know why I’m so dissatisfied with my life when I’m with the one person I wanted to be with in my life and we have 3 cats who we love so much and we have our own place and I have high paying job but somehow it all doesn’t feel like how I thought it should. It feels like I can’t even be alone with myself. I have to call people or talk to people or be around people because being alone is scary.
I love you yo you’re helping me so much thank you
Yes to all of these symptoms god
How is the dark knight of the soul different from the Jungian shadow?
💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜

haha "I ran screaming anything that is religion or spirituality!" Don't poo poo the woo woo! They say the unholy trinity is "science - religion - politics"
It’s crazy I actually grew up in a very strict religious family. However we still had all the dysfunctional norms that were mentioned in this podcast. I remember trying to be the best Christian person I could be in order to have God finally fix my mess. I had no idea I would be the one to fix my own life. #selfhealer 💚
There is only one way:
JESUS👆
