Episode 31: Why Are You Like This?

Here's a question for you... WHY ARE YOU LIKE THIS???

Here's a fact, folks, and there's no escaping it: The events, causes, conditions, and histories of our lives shape who we are, how we see ourselves, how we see others, and how we show up for folks around us. Often, the things that we pay the most attention to when investigating why we are the way we are center around traumas - maybe trauma as a child, maybe as an adult, maybe even sometime last Thursday. For some reason, we don’t seem to focus on the good things that happen when we think about what’s made us who we are. It seems to be the more difficult things, and how we responded (or continue to respond) to them, that we credit for making us who we are today.

But... what if...?

What if we told you that you could call on those events, those experiences, and the sum total of your life with those traumas as an offering that you can make to others? While we recognize trauma is difficult, we’ve also noticed that we gain something from our most challenging experiences. As others work through pain, suffering, and trauma, what if we could be there to hold that space with them with compassion and wisdom, presence and support? That might change how were relate to our own traumas, or maybe that could change everything! In this episode, we ask, "why are you like this?" Well, why are you like this? What answer would you give to this daunting question? Let's explore it together, shall we?
