It’s so interesting that even when we create beliefs for what seems like our benefit, they end up limiting our reality. I learned how to differentiate between when my ego is trying to get me to believe something vs when my intuition is. If it’s my ego, I say thank you for trying to protect me but I’ve got this and if it’s my intuition I accept the belief. After you do this for a while, it starts getting really easy to spot egoic thoughts vs soul-driven thoughts.
This resonates so much with my own experience. I used IFS to deal with my parts but while using different language it’s essentially the same in that the answer has been extending deep compassion and love to the parts of my psyche that were developed to keep me safe. Congratulations to you for learning to have love and compassion for yourself. It’s amazing how hard that can be. ❤️
You mentioning conformity being the choice over authenticity is certainly hitting home for me. The narrative I internalized when I was little was that everyone is experiencing something (which is true), but since I am no better or worse than anyone I must repress any of what I am feeling.
Suffice it to say that the unresolved energy didn’t usually manifest in the brightest of ways.

It was an incredibly difficult journey but so worth the struggle. The person I am today is who I’ve always known I could be. ❤️❤️
