A little holiday self-destruction and deconstruction

My Lyme Story: When you are raised since conception with the teaching that you're a guilty depraved sinner deserving of eternal punishment, and the only cure is to die to self and become someone else... how do you NOT become self-destructive; i.e. autoimmune?

My Lyme Story: If we were raised in a culture of "No Pain, No Gain" or "suffering for Christ", how could we ever accept self-care and rest for healing?

The Power of Validating our Lived Experience | In my health and trauma work over the past few years, I’ve come to explore and accept the very necessary concept of non-dualistic thinking; yin and yang, opposite but essential, both true… “yes, and.” It's usually called "both/and" thinking.
