Self compassion
As a mom of adult children, I suffer enormously over the ways I hurt my children, despite my great determination not to do so. No amount of talk therapy, medication, prayer, or anything else has actually healed my childhood traumas nor my grief and regret about the ways I hurt my own children. All three of my kids struggle in ways I thought I could prevent by loving them, breastfeeding them, raising them with emotional awareness, not hitting them, telling them they were deeply loved and lovable, and so on. They did not grow up in crushing poverty, cruelty, addiction, and violence as I did. Even so, I managed to pass my traumas along to them. The pain I feel about my failures seems unbearable at times. For the first time in my life, at this moment, I feel that there may be a way to heal because I just listened to Dr. Aliza’s episode on self compassion. Powerful, powerful episode. I have forgiven my parents but have never been able to forgive myself. Now, I feel hopeful.
