S2 Episode 2: The Commanding Self

from Healing Out Loud · host Raha Amer

The journey to the sound heart begins with the wild horse of the self — the Commanding Self. It doesn’t ask, it urges: eat more, prove more, react now.In this episode, we explore its many faces — from the shield and the ranker to the comfort-seeker and the wounded child. Through Sufi wisdom and psychology, we uncover how this self shows up in our lives, and how awareness begins to loosen its grip.You’ll also be guided through a simple pause practice: Hear. Awaken. Choose. — a gentle way to return from reaction to awareness.This is not about perfection, but practice. Every moment of noticing is already a shift. ➤ Explore more from Healing Out Loud:📷 Instagram: @lifecoach_raha_amer🌿 Join our circle: Healing Out Loud WhatsApp Community⁠https://linktr.ee/Raha_amer
