Not experiencing all your emotions is a crime to yourself.
Imagine growing up feeling like you had to hide parts of yourself just to be loved. Joe Ryan dives deep into this struggle in his episode 'False Self, Shame and Separation'. He unpacks how many of us, as children, were taught to suppress emotions deemed 'unacceptable' by our caregivers. This suppression led to the creation of a 'false self', a version of us that aimed to please others but left our true feelings buried.
Ryan discusses how this false self can trap us in a cycle of shame and emotional dependency, stunting our personal growth. He takes listeners on a journey to understand how these cut-off emotions and the resulting shame can keep us stuck in a developmental stage from childhood. Joe emphasizes the importance of acknowledging and feeling these hidden emotions as a path to freedom.
By confronting the shame and emotionally separating from our past caregivers, we can begin to break free from the roles we've been playing and start living authentically. Ryan’s approach is both empathetic and practical. He encourages listeners to take small steps towards self-care and authenticity. His message is clear: it's time to stop people-pleasing and start embracing your true self.
Whether you're dealing with trauma, anxiety, or just trying to understand your emotional landscape better, this episode offers valuable insights and actionable advice. Tune in to hear Joe Ryan's heartfelt guidance on breaking free from the false self and stepping into your authentic life. It's a conversation that promises to resonate deeply with anyone who has ever felt the weight of hidden emotions.
