286: Feeling Alone on Our Healing Path with Karen Campion

Published: Oct. 28, 2021, 8 a.m.

Starting a journey of healing or following a spiritual path in life can be one of the best things to ever happen to us. It totally transforms how we feel each day and gives us a sense of clarity and purpose in life.

Unfortunately, it can also change our relationships \u2013 and not always in the way we want.

I get messages all the time from listeners who have started working with The Adult Chair\xae or going to therapy who now feel disconnected from people they were once close to.

Sometimes it\u2019s friends and family who don\u2019t understand the change they\u2019re seeing in them. Other times, it\u2019s that the person who has changed can no longer relate to certain friends or even feels like they and their partner are no longer on the same page. These \u201cspiritual growing pains\u201d can be so disorienting and scary!

In today\u2019s show, I\u2019m chatting with my friend and fellow holistic therapist, Karen Campion, about what we can do when we feel alone on our healing path. Karen and I have been on similar healing journeys (I\u2019m so thankful that she\u2019s one person I\u2019ve been on the same page with for years!), and we talk about how we\u2019ve learned to trust our unique paths while also honoring the paths of others.

Listen to discover:

Why it\u2019s ok to move on from some relationships
How to not fall into the ego as you walk down a path of self-growth
How to be in healthy relationships with your loved ones who aren\u2019t on the same path as you
What to do if someone criticizes you for your spiritual path
What tuning into the body can tell you about the state of your relationships
How to share your path with someone you love

Often, it\u2019s our ego that makes us feel disconnected from others because we begin to feel superior in the path we\u2019re on. This episode is an incredible reminder that every relationship serves a purpose in our life and that we can still connect with others who have a different life path than we do. The important thing is that we stick to the path we\u2019re called to, surrender the relationships that are no longer a match and trust that we and those we love are exactly where they\u2019re supposed to be.

\u201cThere are people who sometimes aren\u2019t going to match you anymore because you have outgrown them.\u201d - Karen Campion\xa0

\u201cIt\u2019s about respecting your partner wherever they\u2019re at.\u201d - Karen Campion\xa0

\u201cBeing on a spiritual path or healing path is something that is so beautiful but we want to really make sure and be mindful of when the ego gets engaged.\u201d - Michelle Chalfant\xa0

\u201cBecome really aware of what your loved ones mean and what their purpose might be on your life path.\u201d - Michelle Chalfant

\u201cIf you want to get other people in their Adult Chair, you get in yours.\u201d - Michelle Chalfant\xa0

\u201cSurrender\u2026is that inner attitude of trust.\u201d - Karen Campion
