Broken to Beloved Podcast 069: You Are Not Your Pain with Monica DiCristina
What are the stories your pain is telling about you?
So often, we internalize ourselves as the problem when pain comes into our lives. However, in this episode, Monica DiCristina, the author of Your Pain Has a Name, helps us see that simply naming our pain can reveal our true selves hidden beneath it.
She invites us into an investigative process of getting curious about what our pain is saying and the meaning we make of it. You will learn about helpful starting points when your pain feels complex, the importance of being your own friend, exploring your family of origin, and how to offer tenderness towards the brilliant ways you've survived.
