Hurt People, Hurt People: Breaking the Cycle of Wounded LoveIn this episode of Soul Conversations, I share a powerful truth that came to me through the words of Malik, a character in LaDarrion Williams’ "Blood at the Root":“Hurt people hurt people… we hurt people that love us, love people that hurt us.”When I heard this, I paused because I knew it was true. We’ve all been caught in that cycle of wounded love: hurting others because we’re hurting, and holding onto pain that was never ours to carry.In our time together, I explore why this happens and how we can begin to break free. Through the lenses of Emotional Intelligence, Spiritual Emotional Intelligence, Logotherapy, Jungian psychology, and the wisdom of the world’s traditions, we’ll uncover how pain transforms when we face it with compassion and meaning.I’ll guide you through reflections and practices to:Recognize the wounds behind your reactionsOffer compassion to yourself and those you’ve hurtFind meaning in your sufferingChoose differently, so the cycle stops with youThis conversation is reflective and I think, profoundly hopeful. Because healing is possible, and it begins with you.Take a deep breath, tap on play, and let’s step into this journey together.
