Episode #53: The Dominant Dogma: I need to hide parts of me

In this episode, I look at the Dominant Dogma of “I have to hide parts of myself,” which is an internalized adaptive strategy and a part of healthy ego development - until it isn’t. I explain the role your ego plays in deciding what you hide from the world and stay safe, and then how the cultural and societal “rules,” punishment and oppression reinforces this inner fragmentation, as we can see with the current suppression of Trans & LGBTQIA+ in the United States.I also share why being human and having shadows go hand in hand and how important it is to trusting your enoughness, despite outer cultures that reinforce your shadow If this episode speaks deeply to your experience with the dominant dogma of “I have to hide parts of myself,” bringing you to the edge of your desire to find the freedom on the other side and you’d like to be supported, reach out and book a one-on-one call with me. Let’s talk about it.
