Facing the Parts You’d Rather Forget

We're just emotionally reacting to things in a very instinctual, natural kind of way. But we develop these patterns and habits of getting our needs met and protecting ourselves. And these exiles are usually parts of ourselves that we don't necessarily like. We kind of reject them, and that's why they're called exiles. It's these parts of ourselves that we try to keep at bay. Right. Like, it's like, you know, if you ever feel like you just want to have a bit, you just want to, you know, scream rage, hit the wall and, you know, like, that's not the way an adult acts. You can't act like that. You know, you have to be a parent. You have to be a w life here. You got to be a grown up. And so we try to push these parts of ourselves away, but that doesn't always work so effectively.
