Episode notes
Exiles as Capsules of Pain
- Exiles are capsules of pain, wounds in our psyche holding difficult experiences.
- They contain memories, beliefs formed during the event, and the unique energy of the experience.
Types of Exiles
- Different exile types exist: pain exiles (holding emotional pain), strategic exiles (like anger or talents, exiled for safety), and neo-exiles (exiled to maintain relationships).
- Anger can be strategically exiled if its expression was punished, as seen with one client.
Exiling Talents
- A client exiled her academic talents to protect her struggling brother.
- Her family shamed her success, so she learned to hide her abilities.
