Can You Show Yourself The Same Care as You Shows Others You Love?

from After Abortion From Secret Trauma to Healing Hope Inner Peace · host Terry Pershon

Why is it so easy to hold a vast expanse of patience for the people we love, yet the moment we turn that gaze inward, our patience completely evaporates?In this episode, we take a gentle, deeper dive into what it truly means to practice patience with ourselves—both through the everyday irritations of mastering a new tech skill and during the sacred, non-linear layers of emotional healing. Terry opens up about her own journey through post-abortion recovery and the sudden loss of her mother and grandfather at a young age, shedding light on how we instinctively use "hustle, grind, and control" as a shield to avoid feeling deeply uncomfortable emotions.We explore what happens when we stop trying to shape-shift into who everyone else says we "should" be and instead give ourselves a simple, five-minute daily invitation to just be. Terry also shares a beautiful, personal reflection on healing her inner child—moving from a vision of a sad, hidden four-year-old girl to a vibrant, carefree soul running up to embrace life.Put down the heavy burden of trying to push through your healing. Pull up a chair, breathe, and find out what is waiting for you when you finally lay down control and come home to yourself.Key Takeaways from This Episode:Patience Moves in Layers: Real emotional healing doesn't happen all at once; it unfolds gradually precisely when we are ready to receive the next step.The "Should" Resistance: When we force ourselves to operate under the pressure of "shoulds" (even in our businesses or communication styles), we cut off our unique essence.Anger as a Gateway: The next time you feel sudden anger or deep frustration, pause and ask: "What is sitting right behind this anger?" It is often overwhelm, pressure, or a deep craving for control.Reclaiming the Little Girl Inside: Healing old traumas means stopping the habit of pushing your inner child down. Give her permission to be lonely or sad until she feels safe enough to be playful, loving, and free.The "Just Be" Practice: Start with just five minutes a day of zero doing. Go for a walk without headphones, or crank up the music and dance in your living room to shift stagnant energy.Reflective "What If" to Carry With You:"What if the safety you are chasing by controlling everything is actually what’s keeping you from the peace you crave?"Connect with Terry:Ready to step into your expansion? I invite you to a gentle, pressure-free conversation. Let’s sit together in a Zoom room, share space, and see if we are a resonant fit to navigate your path back to self-love.
