The Dark Side Of Seeking “Support”

After going through a difficult time like a health crisis or breakup,
it’s important that we aren’t experiencing that pain and despair all alone.

Loneliness makes it worse,
and it’s our biological imperative to connect with others.

Especially when we felt so down and out in the relationship,
it feels good to talk to someone and get validation.

The big blind spot in the healing game is this:

Maximal Growth occurs when we are being supported AND challenged.

(Read that again)

The reason why I share this is because whenever we are on our path towards healing,
we often seek “support workers” who will validate our side of the story.

But if we aren’t careful, we’re looking outside of us
as a distraction from finding our true source of power….

Which can only come from inside of us.

If we look for Saviors outside of us,we’ll end up going to counsellors seeking the validation our parents couldn’t give us,
or Doctors/Therapists who might keep you stuck in a victim narrative,
robbing you of accountability, responsibility, and strategic feedback that helps you actually GROW.

The greatest moment in your healing comes from the awareness that you were never powerless,
You were always loved,
And that Divinity was within you all along,
and your story is wiped clean of victimhood and you are no longer bound by that past narrative.

And that new story emerges from who you’re BEING today
instead of your past story others are supporting and validating.

What to do:

Find an empathetic guide and community who will emphatically challenge your old narrative,
AND support you in creating a more empowered version of it.
