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 tension between authenticity and attachment arises from our early disconnection from ourselves and the struggle to belong while being true to ourselves. Nature has endowed us with gut feelings and emotions, both of which are crucial. Authentic relationships where we can be our true selves and still be accepted are ideal, but many of us didn't receive this from our families or origin. This often leads to the message that we can either be ourselves or be accepted, but not both. Prior to awakening, many people may have felt the lack of authenticity without understanding why they were not being authentic. The key is to notice when we are not being authentic, when we are not expressing a true yes or a true no, and to observe the impact on ourselves. By asking ourselves what belief is holding us back from being authentic, we empower our authentic self and strengthen the connection with it, teaching the broken heart to heal and the wholeness to overcome disconnection.
