TMSE--Episode 65--The Pause
from The Meat Sack Experience Hosted by Nicole Landon
What happens when something hurts--and your mind immediately wants to decide who is to blame? In this episode we explore the pause between being affected and assigning meaning. We talk about the urge to label someone the villain, blame yourself, defend your story, or rush toward healing before you have actually allowed yourself to feel what happened. This episode builds on last week's conversataion about the lens through which we see ourselves, other people, and the world around us. But this time, the focus is on what happens when somebody else's behavior activates something through that lens. What if you did not need an immediate verdict? What if you could let yourself be angry, hurt, ashamed, or confused without deciding what it all means yet? And what if accountability isn't the same as blame? Because maybe the pause is not where you are stuck. Maybe the pause is where you stop searching for somebody to blame long enough to finally hear what the experience is asking you to see.
