Quick takeaways

Suppressing true emotions can lead to more anxiety and shame, so it's important to allow ourselves to be vulnerable and embrace our emotions fully.

Real healing comes from self-acceptance and acknowledging our pain, and by exploring both the shadows and the light within ourselves without judgment, we can find true healing and self-growth.

Deep dives

Allowing Yourself to Be Vulnerable and Authentic

Sometimes we feel the need to put on a smile and pretend everything is okay, even when it's not. This can be especially true for those in the chronically ill community. However, suppressing our true emotions can lead to more anxiety and shame. Instead, it's important to allow ourselves to be exactly where we are and be vulnerable. By accepting ourselves as flawed humans with both shadow and light aspects, and by embracing our emotions fully, we can start the healing process.
