Some of the highlights Ray shares: Never base your self worth on your past; it was a life lesson, not a life sentence There is no perfect parent - we don't blame, shame, or condemn Feelings buried alive never die How to heal from mother wounds and father wounds From ages 0-10 is our core imprint period of development where we attach meanings to events Your subconscious brain stores all your memories and the beliefs attached to them We can't change the event, but we can change the meaning we assigned to those events Every thought is tied to a belief When you know the truth the truth will set you free, if you're not free, you haven't found the truth. Stress is not what you're thinking; it's what you believe about what you're thinking We need to stop, ask "what am I thinking", and then "why am I thinking that?" The people who hurt you were broken and empty and couldn't give you what they didn't have Rewrite the meaning! You are not worthless, rejected, abandoned, unlovable, etc. If you remember an event and it still hurts, there is still a lie attached to it Needs are driven by lack (usually something you didn't get during your core imprint) Take just one step at a time And more Please share, subscribe, leave a rating and review, visit the Linda's Corner website at lindascornerpodcast.com and/or follow on youtube, facebook, instagram, and pinterest @lindascornerpodcast.
