This episode is about getting over what you didn\u2019t get from a parent (or parents).
There is no manual for living. Sometimes we just need to ask for help from our spiritual guide and then direct all of our energy towards the life we truly desire. There will be times when we get frustrated and angry with ourselves and other people. It\u2019s OK, it happens. We are all human, right?
Well, even our parents are human. Many of us have trouble accepting our parents as individuals outside of the role they play in our lives. We put our own expectations on them to try to fill the safety and security voids we perceived when we were separated from God during birth.
We often long for a love our parents are unable to give us. We need to recognize that just because they are older, it doesn\u2019t mean their ability to love has changed. They love us in the best way they know how.
Today\u2019s caller, Samantha uses self-criticism to protect herself from her pain. She is accustomed to holding herself to higher standards because she coaches others through their life journeys.\xa0 She is still holding on to her childhood anger over not feeling loved and acknowledged by her father.\xa0
We work through her responsibility to re-parent herself, free herself through a spiritual practice and look at her father with compassionate eyes.\xa0
If you are a woman who is having difficulty processing your anger, read the Emotional section of my book, Expectation Hangover. Try the temper tantrum technique, it may sound silly, but it really works.
