Went wrong that went wrong that went wrong oh no what if it goes wrong again that's kind of the point that I'm at yeah it's an aspect of denial to be like totally my my life is going to be okay it's fine there's no problem here at all yeah and in a way what that's doing is it's denying the feelings that I actually do have inside where I actually need to meet those feelings with with Consciousness and with awareness and and actually see okay so these feelings are inside me I'm not going to deny them and from that place of Meeting those feelings what is true and who am who am I in relationship to those feelings right and in that way it's like think of it like a staircase and each you're you're not just going to unless you are a superwoman you're not going to be at the bottom of the staircase and then just bound up to the very top of the staircase why not that be awesome well we'll work toward that we'll work toward that but first let's take some baby steps and it's and it's the it's taking each step and what a lot of people want to do especially with something that's traumatic or or scary or something that's going to shift their own like how they view themselves and what's possible in their life like herpes or ...

... anything else really this isn't just about Herpes it's just it's about anything that's perceived as an obstacle in your life yeah and this might be the biggest one that you've encountered so it's waking you the [ __ ] up okay so so when people are like oh [ __ ] I have herpes they're at the bottom of the staircase and then they look at the top of the staircase and they see happiness they see people accepting them they see love they see a family all of these things and they're like all right [ __ ] it I'm just going to jump to the top of the staircase all right now I'm I'm worth it I'm enough but they haven't taken the time to actually look at those initial feelings that show up at the bottom of the staircase and what happens is it's like we're we're meeting those feelings at the bottom of the staircase and then we're taking one step up and what is that okay well all right maybe maybe I feel like my life sucks all right but what's true now is that I see hope what's true now is that I'm reaching out what's true now is that I'm I'm on a supportive Forum that's supporting me in in feeling better even though right now I might not feel so hot right so it's it's moving it's moving up the emotional ...

... staircase it's not jumping to I'm blissed out everything's fine that's denial and but but and still inside there's this aching heartache Brokenness that isn't being tended to totally I think you just like put a on the head like that's what I did thanks for watching now go here for more information

When we first hit a roadblock in our lives, we might already be able to clearly see what life will be like when we clear it, so an aspect of denial shows up to say we're already there. But what happens in that "skipping ahead" is that we suppress the natural grieving process that wants to happen. So instead of trying to jump from the bottom all the way to the top of the staircase, we take it step by step, settling into each step and feeling it fully while still maintaining the optimism and self-love that is critical to healing.
