These are the TA for what I’ve done or not done to feel unsatisfied after 6 weeks eCourse:
– I listened without judgement
– I trusted the participants
– I spend a lot of time doing the homework
– I was honest and authentic
I’m noticing now I’m less fearful to be seen when I saw all yours thoughts on the poster. I’m less afraid of looking at my own thoughts.
I see that people are ‘normal’ what ever their thinking. I trust me to talk about my shameful thoughts – even though I still want to keep the worst of them hidden.
I’m not sure I trust me to be kind to me if my shame gets overwhelming.
I notice how I’ve been honest, authentic AND courageous – and I’m proud of myself. If I’m too afraid of sharing my thoughts; I don’t do it – and that’s caring for myself in that moment.

I am really feeling the heaviness of the shame. But it’s been there ALL along. I have wanted to avoid these feelings all my life. I have tried to eat them away, drink them away. meditate them away. Everything I have done, my MO, has been to avoid, push away or down. The flood gates are opened now and I can’t do that any more. I can’t avoid. I am looking right at it. It does feel awful, but it feels honest at the moment. I am doing my best to not repress, stuff or disassociate. I am not doing a good job welcoming the feelings. I think I even thought taking the workshop would get me around this somehow. I pretend a lot. I pretend to be happy, I pretend to be ok, I pretend to be brave, all while hiding myself from myself and others, and I didn’t even know it – til now.
I will give myself some credit for opening the doors and my willingness to get in touch with all I feel related to shame. I have longed to feel happy and light and care free an innocent. I trust I will get there!

Bow to your sadness
Let it rest, and move
Weep so hard it scares you
And you will know holiness
Bow to your anger
Let it surge, feel its heat
Turn towards the wild animal within
And you will know holiness
Bow to your longing
Let it burn, vibrate, ache
Feel its erotic power
And you will know holiness
Bow to your fear
Let is shake you out of your slumber
Find its ancient protective roots
And you will know holiness
