For the longest I thought learning was the stopping point, in order to move on to the next subject. But learning is only preparation. Our lives consist of the same handful of experiences that happen over and over, at different points in time. These experiences come from emotional mile markers that took place in our childhood. And are embedded in our psyche. We’re given the opportunity to handle the experience differently each time we revisit them but…that’s only possible if we learn from how we handled it before. Needing to be chosen is one of my recurring experiences and it stems from feeling ‘unchosen’ by my parents. I’m now being given another opportunity to heal the remnants of that part of me.
