Gabor Maté: Why Your Trauma is Showing Up as Guilt, Fear, and Shame & How to Untrap Yourself from the Past
On Purpose with Jay Shetty
Reconnecting with Authenticity and Overcoming the Tension between Attachment and Authenticity
The disconnect from oneself often stems from early trauma, resulting in people pleasing and shape-shifting behaviors. The tension between authenticity and attachment lies in balancing our genuine selves and the need to belong. Genuine connections can be achieved by accepting and loving our authentic selves. Many times, families and parents cannot provide this acceptance due to their own limitations. This leads individuals to believe they must choose between being themselves or being accepted. Prior to awakening, individuals may sense when they are not being authentic, as the authentic self always knows. By noticing when we are not authentic, asserting our true selves, and understanding the beliefs hindering authenticity, we can strengthen and empower our authentic self, ultimately reconnecting with our true selves and overcoming the sense of disconnection.
