- Julia Price: How to Heal and Grow from Childhood Wounds
Oct 26, 2020
Are you carrying the wounds of your parents? As children, many of
our parents dumped their wounds, baggage, fears, and insecurities
onto us, and many of us believe we need to continue to carry this
baggage for the rest of our lives. It has turned into an
outlined curriculum or pattern that we continue to follow, yet we
place blame, hold grudges, and never take
responsibility.
Their baggage may have been passed onto us, but is our
responsibility to work through it and turn it into our greatest
gifts. But in order to do so, we need to first understand the
baggage we are carrying, look at it through the eyes of compassion,
and release the blame we are holding onto.
So how do we end this loop of ancestral karmic wounding and finally
take ownership of how our lives unfold?
We need to find enough compassion within ourselves to forgive our
parents. And in this episode of the Deep Dive, I chat with
singer/songwriter Julie Price on her experience working through the
wounds she carried from her parents, how she was able to understand
the
"why"
hidden within the wounds, and how she set herself free through
forgiveness.
