"I have felt so gaslit my entire life about how we're all supposed to act like what happens to us down here as normal," she says. "We grew up in homes where for many, many real reasons, our parents were not exposed to the healing that we are exposed to now or for eating stuff." The media and peers also play a role when it comes to issues of self-accepting body image; they encourage people to feel unsafe living in their own bodies on this planet.
Glennon takes us along on her “exile walk” to share how recovery’s going and some new found wisdom that will help us all including:
1. How to shut off the mind and stop over-intellectualizing to allow space for other parts and memories to rise up.
2. Acknowledging that nobody’s “fine” – and we’re all either transforming or transmitting our pain.
3. Glennon's interaction with a young surfer that offended them both (in very different ways).
4. How to start to let go of the prize of privilege in order to receive the treasures of being fully human.
