Takeaways & Reflections | Intuition & Pulling the Weeds

Grieving Voices

We come into this world knowing how to grieve. We naturally know how to express ourselves to get our needs met. Then life happens, along with generational teaching that creates the perfect storm for adult issues.
So much of what is wrong in our lives, as adults, can be traced back to our childhoods. That goes for possible health concerns, as well as our mental, emotional, and spiritual health.
Adulthood is a childhood re-enactment. And, considering that research suggests that our brains develop in response to the environment in which we are raised or in as children, it makes sense that we find ourselves resorting to those points of reference in adulthood. And often, they're not very healthy points of reference.
I look forward to digging into this topic more deeply and, explore this further with future experts. In the meantime, listen to this week's episode and see if you can connect some dots of your adult life experience to your childhood.
As long as we are medicalizing mental health, we'll continue to see the same issues repeated in our society. We must pull the weeds. And the roots, I believe, are in our childhoods. And, I don't care if you had the most idyllic upbringing. Because no parent is perfect, and every last parent resorts to what they know. And, in my experience, when it comes to grief, there's a lot of misinformation and myths playing out in the world.
