His pain became so debilitating he no longer could play basketball, hike–his pain made it difficult to even walk. His pain was REAL. So was the SOLUTION.

episode 44: the teacher (How Coronavirus is My Greatest Teacher in Miracles) – How Coronavirus Saved My Life

episode 44: the teacher (How Coronavirus is My Greatest Teacher in Miracles) When you grow up in trauma, it's hard to understand the people who hurt you, the people who put you in unsafe situations, the people who purposely hurt you, are YOUR teachers. My racist father was my teacher for injustice. My narcissistic mother was my teacher for my inner worthiness. My ex-husband was my teacher on spotlighting my judgment of others. My past toxic friendships and relationships are my teachers for emotional growth through challenging experiences. Coronavirus was my teacher in finding the miracle of me. Coronavirus was my teacher for questioning my childhood belief system. Coronavirus was my teacher in building resiliency. Coronavirus IS my teacher in challenging my fears and proving those fears wrong. ============================================================= Connect with Christine for Mental Health Discussions and Tools for Recovery: ⁠https://howcoronavirussavedmylife.com⁠ ⁠ ⁠⁠Twitter⁠ |⁠ ⁠⁠Instagram⁠ |⁠ ⁠⁠website⁠ | ⁠Youtube⁠ | ⁠FB ⁠ Check out Christine's other podcast with her sister ⁠The Family Burrito⁠ Disclaimer: The information and recommendations in this Podcast are only opinions of the host and guests of ⁠How Coronavirus Saved My Life Podcast⁠ — Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/howcoronavirussavedmylife/message
