E47 - The Terrifying Euphoria
from The Ugly Duckling Diary · host Mags Thomson
Today I talk about the Terrifying Euphoria, a concept I reference a lot. It is something that I feel we often encounter in our healing journey. - We sometimes identify with the trauma we have encountered in our lives - As harmful as abuse is, it is familiar harm - Escaping from abuse means stepping into the unknown - It is hard to know who we are without the trauma, pain, and experiences - The prospect of reinventing ourselves can be overwhelming, and scare us into staying still and not healing.
